Has anyone done a Assets & Configuration (Insight) integration with Backstage service catalog?

[Elaine McMillan]

I am looking to integrate Assets and Configuration to Backstage to use the Backstage service ca6takog as the source of truth for the assets and configuration for JSM. Does anyone know if this is possible and if so how do I do it?

[Olivier Liechti]

Yes, it is possible and we have used different approaches to this:

* We have implemented a custom EntityProvider that periodically pulls objects from Jira Assets and creates corresponding entities in Backstage. This works quite well, and it is possible to handle relationships between objects (and corresponding entities).

* We have other use cases where not all objects in Jira Assets should be Backstage entities (typically objects for which there are many instances and that would "pollute" the catalog). For these use cases, we pull data from Jira Assets and populate the database of a custom plugin that we wrote for Backstage. That also works quite well.

you would need to write a script to format the Data contained inside assets to the .yml format in backstage and create a syncing logic.

are you able to find a solution for this.
