Customer Dashboard

Question

Hi All,

We are exploring JIRA Service Desk for our MSP business. I did a quick search to find out if there is any way to showcase Dashboard of SLA/Ticket Status etc to customers but unfortunately there is no such feature exist.

It is in the feature request since 2015 but no luck to date.

There is no app which we could use!

Is there any solution to produce some nice dashboards for customers?

Do you think I could leverage JIRA API to fetch data and use ELK (Kibana) to produce dashboards? At this point in time, I am using the free version for testing.

Thanks,

Ajay

Hi @Ajay Kumar

If you want to showcase a dashboard with SLAs to your customers, we have an app that can do that exactly :)  it's called Ronin Dashboards for Jira. You can see it in action here

Let me know if that fits your use case.

Wrt Kibana we don't currently have an integration, but provided enough demand, we could include it in our roadmap.

JSD doesn't do this. I find JSD's customer security and reporting very poor. Organisations have no customisations at all, for example, you can't have 20 people belong to an organisation and then limit only a select few to see all tickets that belong to an organisation.

So for customers who don't want an organisation view, we then setup a custom field called customer and we make sure during ticket triage that we setup the correct customer. We then use Confluence to create a customer dashboard. Using the macros, we can put in JIRA queries and reports. We then manually export this to PDF and email it to the customer. A downside is that it is maintained outside of JIRA, but that is also an upside where we can add non JSD content to their dashboard.

I can’t say how to do this but most certainly you can leverage the API to pull data. I don’t know anything about Kibana but maybe you can manage to integrate the two. Note that PBI connects to Jira cloud and will work with live data.
