Add-on for JIRA - modular input configuration

[ealmeida_splunk]

I faced this issue and found the solution so posting the problem and solution here to help others that may be having the same problem.

Add-on for JIRA is installed and executes fine on-demand with config.ini when using things like:

| jira jqlquery "Project='test'"

However, trying to use the modular input it throws this error every execution:

2019-09-04 19:29:51,497 ERROR pid=6324 tid=MainThread file=base_modinput.py:log_error:69 | Get error when collecting events.

TypeError: None object cannot be quoted

The list of wanted fields is configured properly in jira.conf and inputs.conf.

Does anyone know how to import Jira data with accented marks to splunk with Jira Collector?

@mpipaliya_splunk was able to help me with this issue and find a solution. Big shout out to him!

Below steps helped troubleshoot:
* Clear checkpointing for JIRA add-on (when trying multiple times execute between each attempt)
sudo su - splunk
/opt/splunk/bin/splunk clean kvstore -app jira -collection jira_checkpointer

• Have a proper JQL that is first validated via JIRA Search.
  JQL used: project in (test)

• Assigned proper sourcetype manually (jira), as automatic sourcetype assignment was failing with code exception.

• Verified ingested JIRA types under test project key.
  index=test sourcetype=jira | stats count by fields.issuetype.name
