Need to get the data in confluence graphs dynamically from Jira.

[Sravani Chekuri]

I am using "Charts" in "Other macros" to populate the graphs in confluence. I am adding the data manually currently. Is there a way to get the data from Jira dynamically instead of adding the values manually?

We use the EazyBI application here, as we found the visualisation from JIRA was limited & that we wanted to embed reports on our Confluence similar to you are mentioning. EazyBI is powerful, but does have a learning curve to it (and costs associated, being a plugin). It runs off of JIRA, but there are Confluence display macros. 

Sounds like you know what charts can and cannot do (here is the guide just in case)

As I really ugly solution, you could always HTML macro an iframe that links to a JIRA dashboard (of course people will need to have access to this JIRA data, and you won't get it looking very nice - it is ugly)

<iframe height="2000px" width="100%" 
src="YOUR-JIRA_URL_HERE"></iframe>

 

Hope this helps you somewhat. Interested in how other people approach this one.
