Jira Destination
Configuring Jira as an alert destination in your Panther Console
Destinations are integrations that receive alerts from rules, policies, system health notifications, and rule errors. Panther supports configuring Jira as the destination where you will receive alerts.
When an alert is forwarded to a Jira Destination, a bug, story, or task is created and assigned to the specified assignee in the specified project.
The on-premises version of Jira is not currently supported for this integration.
