How to embed JIRA chart in Confluence

Question

Using JIRA 5.1.1 and Confluence 4.1.12. I'm attempting to embed JIRA dashboard charts into my Confluence page, but without success. I'd rather not create the chart again via the Charts macro. Is there a simple way to accomplish this from the JIRA chart I already have?

In JIRA go to your Dashboard->Add Gadget and for each Gadget you will find a URL there.

In Confluence Go to Browse->Confluence Administration->External Gadgets and add the Gadgets you need using the URL.

They will now appear in your Confluence macros.

Note: to get this to work, you must have setup the Application Links between JIRA and Confluence.

Cheers,
