JIRA gadget - using a different database

[Prameesha Samarakoon]

Hi,

I have a requirement to develop a JIRA gadget that pulls some statistical data stored on a different database(Not a JIRA database, and contains data of a different format).

Also the database the JIRA instance is connected to and the database the gadget needs to be connected to, are of two different types like oracle and mysql. The motive is to use JIRA as a central place where all information will be available at one point.

Is it possible to display data from a different database in a JIRA gadget?

Any thoughts on this would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

Yes. What you can do is create a REST endpoint that queries the data that you want in the second database. Your gadget can then call this REST endpoint.
