Connect Jira Cloud Without Breaking the Audit Trail

Use this guide to connect Jira Cloud or confirm the export-based path that fits your environment. Aurora keeps source, timestamps, ownership, and collection history attached so the first run becomes reusable proof instead of one-off setup work.

We'll confirm what can be automated, what stays export-based, and how to keep the first evidence record clean.

First-Run Checklist

Use this sequence to connect Jira Cloud and make sure the first collection lands cleanly.

  1. 1
    Create a Jira Cloud API token for a service account.
  2. 2
    Enter the Jira base domain (for example, https://example.atlassian.net) as non-secret config.
  3. 3
    Paste the service account email and api_token into Aurora secure credentials.
  4. 4
    Validate by running a small JQL query against the target project.
