Jira Server & AWS Quicksight connection

Question

Hi,

Can we connect the Jira server and AWS Quicksight directly?

We are on Jira 8.20.17 LTS.

TIA!

It's probably best to look at connecting your Jira to one of the apps that understands the database.

Thanks, @Nic Brough -Adaptavist-

What will be the best strategy in this case?

Users like to create reports in Quicksight.

You could point it at your database, but don't.  The Jira database is not designed for reporting and it's an utter nightmare to interpret.  It will take you months, if not years, to make sense of it in Quicksight without crippling your database server's performance.
