Website Check Script - if down, create task

[Timothy Ryner]

Has anyone ever written a script that touches an external (to Jira) webpage every hour or so, and performs some action in Jira based on the response code?

I manage a bunch of web apps, and would love to get Jira issues sent to me when a site responds with something other than a 200?  Create a new issue in a project with details on the site that failed the status check.

Ideally, I would have a bunch of parent issues for the sites, and if there is a problem with a site, a subtask is created under the site’s parent issue. That way, I could add more sites to the checker over time, and let the script loop through all of the main issues. 

We are running Jira Server v9.7, and the latest Scriptrunner & Automation plugins. 

Anyone have experience touching external sites with scriptrunner? Even though I’m not fluent with groovy, I could probably piece together the rest of the script myself using previous community posts and the Adaptivist Library (and ChatGPT…LOL). 

Thanks all!

Hello,

First you need to add versions. You must be a Project Administrator to add a version. You can find more info on how to create a version here:

https://confluence.atlassian.com/adminjiraserver/managing-versions-938847201.html

Then you can open Projects -> Your project and there will be the Releases menu with versions.

Hi, you are more than welcome to try my plugin - Version Manager for JIRA cloud.

Not only does it let you delegate the manage versions permission to whoever you decide, but it also lets you assign components to versions.
