Connecting jira to redash

Question

Has anyone an experience in connecting jira into redash? I've found the instruction on redash website, and finely connected to my jira account, but i want to do something like tempo report (in jira) in redash, with user filters to make reports for different customers, cause they have different report forms. All i have now is only writing a JQL query in redash and i get the same table like in jira, its not that i wanted to do). Maybe someone have a manual how to save a JQL query as a database, and then it will be more simple to make user filters in redash. Maybe you have another ideas about this story?

You could use query filters to filter data in a Query Results Data Source query that pulls the results of the Jira data source query.

For example here's a Jira data source query pulling in some issues that match a few criteria:

{
  "fields": "key,statuscategorychangedate,resolutiondate,resolution,customfield_12593,customfield_12518,customfield_10004",
  "jql": "(sprint = 'Sprint 83') and sprint is not empty and project = LRN ",
  "fieldMapping": {
      "customfield_12593": "dev_points",
      "customfield_12518": "qa_points",
      "customfield_10004": "total_points"
  }
}

If the ID for that query (in the URL) is 123 then I can create a Query Results data source query in SQLite like this:

select resolution_name as "resolution::multiFilter", * from query_123

Note the ID is used in from query_123.

And "resolution::multiFilter" allows the results to be filtered based on all the values that are returned for resolution.

This should be easily applied to the Jira data you want to query and the user values you want to filter.
