Is there a way to know if a plugin is being used in Jira Cloud?

[Asier Vadillo]

Hi everyone,

We have a plugin/app installed in our instance of Jira cloud that nobody seems to know who installed or if it is being used at all. Is there any way to check if an 3rd party app is being used and where in Jira cloud?

I know in Confluence there is a Macro usage page that lets you do ir but in Jira?

Thanks beforehand!

@Aaron Pavez _ServiceRocket_  is giving a good first step;   another think you can look at (and it is a bit of a hack) is to examine any custom fields that are tied to the app.

Using the admin screen Aaron mentioned in his answer, I found the "app key"

Then using the rest endpoint "field", i got a list of all custom fields.

This app created several -- I can go look at my work items to see if there is data in them.

Hi @David Nickell ,

The app we are "using" is Jira Misc Workflow Extensions (JMWE), I do not think it is being used as any custom field. Could this also work for automations?

Hi @Asier Vadillo 

In Jira is not gonna be easy. Can you tell us which app is it?

Depending on the app, you can create a Python script to see if it's being used and where.

You can check the app audit logs under admin.atlassian.com -> sites -> click on your org -> site settings -> audit logs

Hi @Aaron Pavez _ServiceRocket_ ,

The app is: Jira Misc Workflow Extensions (JMWE)

I know how to see the validators used in the workflows, but in the automations? Or anywhere else?

Hi!

JMWE can be used in the workflow only as post function, a validator. And those are the most difficult to catch. 

Anything else (Like behaviours) will be under the app settings in the app config screen.

For this, use Gemini or ChatGPT to help you create a Python script.

1. Check active workflows

2. Look for the string JMWE (this is in the app key. will get any post function, validator with JMWE on them)

get active workflows

'/rest/api/3/workflow/search', 'expand=transitions.rules,statuses,operations&isActive=true'
