Your Jira guardian

ScriptRunner for Jira's Escalation Services are powerful, automated scripts that act like your Jira guardian. Set them up and they monitor your Jira instance, automatically taking specific actions as required, based on the conditions and parameters you set.

Proactive monitoring

It means that you have proactive monitoring of Jira. Need to enforce the completion of issues by a specific date? Use an Escalation Service to align specific issues or issue types with SLAs based, flagging inaction to you or other Jira user(s).

Jira housekeeping
