Inquiry about alert creation and monitoring using the Jira Python library

[jhon_garcia]

I’d like to know if the Python library from atlassian import jira supports creating and monitoring alerts — similar to the opsgenie-sdk-python, which provides a class like CreateAlertPayload to create, escalate, and list alerts.

Is this kind of functionality available through the Jira Python client?
Or is it recommended to use the Jira REST API directly for alert management?

Thanks in advance for your help.

welcome to community!

The Python library atlassian-python-api does not support creating or monitoring alerts like the Opsgenie SDK. For alert management you should use the Opsgenie REST API or the Jira Service Management Operations REST API.

Official API references:

• Opsgenie REST API (Alerts):

• Jira Service Management Operations REST API:
