Open a Jira Bug When a New Error Pattern Appears in Your Logs

Watch your application logs for new error signatures and automatically file a Jira bug with the stack trace and frequency, so regressions are caught fast.

difficulty Advancedsetup 40 minresult Novel production errors become tracked Jira bugs automatically, shrinking the gap between a regression and a fix.
  1. 1

    Poll for New Errors

    Add a Schedule Trigger every 15 minutes and an HTTP Request to Datadog's Logs API querying recent error events grouped by signature.

  2. 2

    Detect Novel Signatures

    Add a Code node comparing signatures against a stored list so only errors you haven't seen before continue.

  3. 3

    Create the Jira Bug

    Add a Jira node with operation Create Issue, including the error message, stack trace, first-seen time and occurrence count.

  4. 4

    Record the Signature

    Add a step storing the new signature so repeat occurrences update the existing bug instead of creating duplicates.

  5. 5

    Activate and Test

    Activate the workflow and trigger a test error. Confirm a Jira bug is created with the stack trace attached.

Frequently asked questions

How do I avoid noise from known errors?

Maintain an ignore-list of signatures you've triaged as won't-fix, and skip those in the detection step.

Can I set priority by frequency?

Yes. Map occurrence counts to Jira priority so a spiking error opens as high priority automatically.
