Plugin to connect to external database and show the Report in both JIRA & Confluence (Server hosted)

Question

Hi,

I need a plugin that can connect to external database other than JIRA database, and give a view of the report in JIRA Dashboard as well as in Confluence which are both self hosted in server.

I have heard EazyBI reports for JIRA plugin does this, but it would be great if i could get some hands on insight on this.

Thanks in anticipation,

Regards,
Vinay R

Thankyou So much @Fabio Racobaldo _Catworkx_ and @Francesc_Arbó.  We will be going forward with EazyBI for Jira. While testing i saw that EazyBI creates its own tables from the database. I am lil bit worried on how this could affect the performance of JIRA. I think the tables dont get refreshed, so how much space should i consider for the same.

And I also want to view the same Dashboard/Graphs in Confluence as well.

Any info on how to achieve same would be really helpful.

Thanks Again,

Vinay

Hi Vinary,

EazyBI is a great plugin for these purposes. It can be linked to JIRA and other external sources (db, xlsx, csv, api). Moreover you could embed these reports both on JIRA and Confluence through specific gadgets.

Please, let me know if you need more info.

Ciao,
