Before you start
Check the required permissions
You will need the email address of a user and an Atlassian API token created by that user. The user account only needs read-only access to a space to return pages from that space.
Creating an API token
This plugin requires you to provide an Atlassian API token to authenticate the data source.
It is recommended to generate a specific API token for your SquaredUp instance, so if you ever need to revoke it you will not impact any other applications.
For steps for API token management from Atlassian, see Atlassian: Manage API tokens for your Atlassian account
The user can create a scoped API token from here: https://id.atlassian.com/manage-profile/security/api-tokens
Configuring the data source

https://your-domain.atlassian.net - User email address:
Enter the email address of the Atlassian account that generated the API token. - API token:
Select the type of token to use. See Before you start for more information. - Token:
Enter the API token generated from the email address in the Creating an API token section.If you selected the Without scopes (legacy) option, the same API token can be used for the Jira and Confluence data sources.

Data streams
You can use these data streams to create new tiles to show data, or if there are preconfigured dashboards installed you can copy or edit those.
Data streams standardize data from all the different shapes and formats your tools use into a straightforward tabular format.
While creating a tile you can tweak data streams by grouping or aggregating specific columns.
Depending on the kind of data, SquaredUp will automatically suggest how to visualize the result, for example as a table or line graph.
Data streams can be either global or scoped:
- Global data streams are unscoped and return information of a general nature (e.g. "Get the current number of unused hosts").
- A scoped data stream gets information relevant to the specific set objects supplied in the tile scope (e.g. "Get the current session count for these hosts").
See Data Streams for more information.
