flex.bi reports and dashboards can be published as gadgets in Atlassian applications JIRA and Confluence.

The main benefit of flex.bi gadgets compared to embedded <iframe> flex.bi reports is that one flex.bi user can authorize access to flex.bi using OAuth authorization and then publish selected reports or dashboards to other users who are not flex.bi users.

flex.bi gadgets are supported just for BUSINESS subscription plan as well as in flex.bi Enterprise.

Here are the steps how to publish an flex.bi report in a JIRA dashboard or Confluence page.

Increase gadget data request timeout

 

By default, data requests from gadgets in Confluence pages will time out after 15 seconds. If you have longer running eazyBI reports then please specify -Dhttp.socket.timeout=TIMEOUT_IN_MILLISECONDS Java property in Confluence startup scripts. E.g. in bin/setenv.sh add to JAVA_OPTS

JAVA_OPTS="... -Dhttp.socket.timeout=60000"

to increase gadget data request timeout to 60 seconds.


Register OAuth client application

At first, you need to register JIRA or Confluence as OAuth client application in flex.bi. Go to your accounts administration page and click on Users. If you have BUSINESS subscription plan then you should see OAuth Client Applications section.

Register your JIRA or Confluence application with Custom application type and specify just Main Application URL (it is used just for information purposes), do not specify callback URL (as it will be provided by JIRA or Confluence dynamically).

After registering application you will see OAuth details information that you will need when registering the flex.bi application in JIRA or Confluence.

 

Configure application link in JIRA or Confluence

Go to your JIRA or Confluence administration pages and register new flex.bi application and configure Outgoing Authentication for it:

  • In Service Provider Name enter flex.bi
    If you would like to publish data from several flex.bi accounts then use unique service provider name for each flex.bi account (for example, flex.bi account name)
  • Input previously generated OAuth details values in Consumer Key, Shared Secret, Request Token URL, Access Token URL,Authorize URL fields.

 

Add eazyBI report and dashboard gadget to gadget directory

As a JIRA or Confluence administrator, add flex.bi gadgets to directory using report gadget URL https://flex.bi/bi/gadgets/report.xml and dashboard gadget URL https://flex.bi/bi/gadgets/dashboard.xml

If you used non-default service provider name then specify its name with the service_name parameter. For example, if service provider name is flex.bi account name then report gadget URL should be https://flex.bi/bi/gadgets/report.xml?service_name=flex.bi+account+name
