Ticketing

Alerts that file their own Jira tickets

An alert that nobody turns into a ticket is an alert that gets re-diagnosed from scratch next week. LynxTrac alert rules can open Jira issues automatically over webhooks, carrying the device, the triggering event, and links back to the logs.

Webhook-level is an honest description: it is a one-way, alert-to-issue flow, simple to set up and simple to reason about.

Scope, stated plainly

This is a webhook-level integration, alerts create issues, one direction. There is no two-way status sync: closing the Jira issue does not resolve the LynxTrac alert, and issue comments do not flow back. If your evaluation needs bidirectional sync, ask us where it sits on the roadmap rather than assuming.

Issues with context attached

The created issue carries device identity, alert details, and a link back to the LynxTrac view that triggered it, so triage starts informed.

Rule-scoped, not firehose

Ticket creation binds to specific alert rules. Page-worthy events file issues; informational noise stays in digests.

Works beside LynxTrac Helpdesk

Teams that track infrastructure work in Jira but customer work in LynxTrac ticketing can run both, routed per rule.

Setting it up

Configure a webhook target with your Jira automation endpoint and map the alert rules that should create issues.

Field mapping happens on the Jira side through its automation rules, which keeps your issue schema under your control.

Asked about this integration

Is this a marketplace app?
No. It works through webhooks and Jira automation, which means nothing to install from the marketplace and nothing extra to grant beyond the webhook endpoint you create.
Does ticket status sync back to LynxTrac?
No, the flow is one-way by design today. Alerts create issues with context; lifecycle management happens in Jira. We say this plainly because finding it out mid-rollout is worse.
