Fast and effective integration to Jira.

# jTrack
![](images/logo.png)

> A lightweight Python utility to allow fast and effective integrations of external reporters (e.g. automated scanners)
> with Jira.

---

## Description
You are using an automated scanner or QA tool and want it to automatically create/update Jira tickets for your teams?

But.. How can my scanner know if the Jira has been already created on a previous scan?
This is where jTrack comes in.

jTrack also takes on the responsibility of managing issue states. It ensures that existing issues are updated (or skipped, based on user preferences) and new issues are created if previous ones have already been resolved.

jTrack offers two methods for state management:

1. Utilizing a local Sqlite database.
2. Leveraging a custom Jira field.

## The logic in a nutshell
```mermaid
flowchart
    A{Issue exists in local DB?}
    A -->|No| B(Create a new Jira ticket)
    A -->|Yes| C{Is Jira ticket open?}
    C -->|No| B
    C -->|Yes| D{Is --skip-existing argument provided?}
    D -->|Yes| E[Do Nothing]
    D -->|No| F[Update the ticket]
```

---

## Installation

### Examples
- List all options\
  ```jtrack --help```
- Handle new "event" with the identifier (unique key) *domain.com*\
  ```jtrack -p MY_PROJECT -i domain.com -s "This is the subject"```
- With Labels\
  ```jtrack -p MY_PROJECT -i domain.com -l SCAN-LABEL, DAILY-SCAN -s "This is the subject"```
- With attachment\
  ```jtrack -p MY_PROJECT -i domain.com -s "This is the subject" -a /tmp/scan-results.log```
- Support additional closed types\
  ```jtrack -p MY_PROJECT -i domain.com -s "This is the subject" -j Closed Resolved Done```
- With Jira state management instead of a local DB\
  ```jtrack -p MY_PROJECT -i domain.com -s "This is the subject" -sfn CustomFieldName```

### Real-life Examples
#### WordPress Scanner
You are running a daily security scan for vulnerabilities with a tool like [WPScan][wpscan] and you want to manage all
the results for that domain in one (up-to-date) Jira task:

Just pass the domain name as the identifier and the report file as an attachment.

**Take a look in the examples directory.** 

#### Subdomain Takeover Scanner
See https://github.com/rotemreiss/robusto/blob/master/hooks/_found_hook_jira_example

---
## Roadmap
- Extend the options (e.g. support other fields and custom fields)
- Update description or/and fields and not only attachments
- Generalize the decision and the action to support other actions (e.g. Slack and other ticketing systems)
