Snyk Security for Jira update

[Brian Selewski]

How often do the vulnerabilities in the Jira get updated from Snyk?  Is it real time, or does it scan at different times or intervals?

Hello @Brian Selewski this information is not showing within their documentation. 

The updates from Snyk to Jira vulnerabilities likely won't be in real-time, but will happen at intervals. Here's why:

Snyk Integration Methods: Snyk offers two main Jira integration options: pre-built app for Jira Cloud and API for self-hosted Jira instances. Neither method suggests real-time updates.

Snyk Security in Jira Cloud: This app displays vulnerabilities on the Jira project's security tab. While it offers up-to-date information, real-time updates aren't explicitly mentioned in the documentation.

Snyk API: While the API allows for some automation, it doesn't necessarily guarantee real-time data transfer.

There might be a background process or scheduled task that updates Jira with Snyk data periodically.

Besides everything mentioned, you can ask them directly: https://support.snyk.io/hc/en-us

Thank you Perisic, I figured it was not real time, I have sent a request to Snyk to see what they say about the timing of the updates in Jira.
