Jira Network Automation Integration
Orchestrate
Approval-Driven
Network Change with Jira and NetBrain
Use Jira Server/Data Center for change tracking and approvals, while NetBrain manages execution, benchmarking, and validation through runbook-driven change orchestration.
From Change Tracking to Governed Execution
Jira captures the approval workflow; NetBrain executes the change safely with pre/post validation, so approvals are backed by real network state, not assumptions.
How It Works
Why It Matters
Jira Server/Data Center is strong for structured change workflows and approvals, but it does not execute or validate live network changes. NetBrain adds controlled, auditable execution and pre/post validation, so change management is enforced with real operational proof.
- Approval-gated automation tied to runbook execution
- Pre- and post-change benchmarking to confirm success
- Reduced risk with consistent, repeatable change workflows
"NetBrain automations allow this department to proactively find and fix configuration drift, security flaws, and potential application issues before they affect users."
"NetBrain is really a lifesaver. We have so many users who leverage the NetBrain data every day."
"When operations engineers want to troubleshoot an incident, assess the impact of a change, or to interact with devices in real time, they go to NetBrain."
Frequently Asked Questions
- What products and versions is this integration compatible with?
-
Compatible with Jira Server, Jira Data Center, NetBrain R12.1 and higher.
- How does Jira integrate with network automation tools?
-
Jira manages approval workflows and ticket tracking, while NetBrain executes network changes using automation and validates results against live network data.
- How do you validate network changes after approval?
-
NetBrain runs pre- and post-change benchmarks to confirm that the network state meets expected conditions after execution.
- What is approval-based network automation?
-
It is a process where changes are executed only after formal approval, with automation ensuring consistency and validation.
- Can Jira execute network changes directly?
-
No. Jira handles workflows and approvals. Execution and validation require integration with a network automation platform like NetBrain.
- How does this reduce change risk?
-
By enforcing standardized runbooks and validating outcomes before and after execution, teams avoid configuration drift and unexpected impact.
