Get a clearer view of your Jira Data Center instance with Instance Audit and Script Export, and prepare your move to Jira Cloud with more confidence.
Planning your move to cloud? Often, the trickiest part isn’t even the move itself, but understanding what you’re working with before you begin.
With the latest updates in ScriptRunner for Jira Data Center, we’re making that part much simpler.
This release introduces two capabilities: Script Export and Instance Audit. Together, they give you a clearer view of your instance and a more practical way to prepare for what comes next.
Export your scripts and actually work with them
Start with a complete snapshot
Before you can plan anything, you need access to your data in a usable format.
With Script Export, you can export your scripts, configurations, and related data directly from your instance.
This includes:
- Scripts across your instance
- Configurations such as jobs, listeners, and workflows
- Custom fields and supporting metadata
You get a portable snapshot of your setup. That makes it easier to review, analyse, and prepare your scripts outside Jira, using the tools and workflows that suit you best.
Understand your instance with Instance Audit
Once you have that snapshot, the next step is understanding it.
Instance Audit gives you a structured view of your ScriptRunner footprint, helping you:
- See which scripts are in use and where
- Understand how they’re configured
- Identify duplication, unused elements, or potential issues
Instead of manually piecing this together, you get a clear overview that helps you decide what’s worth keeping, updating, or retiring.
A more practical starting point for migration
Migration decisions are only as good as the information informing them.
With Script Export, you get a complete view of your setup outside Jira. With Instance Audit, you can quickly make sense of it.
That combination gives you a much clearer starting point for planning what to migrate, what to change, and what to leave behind.
If you’re planning a migration, you can explore how this fits into a broader workflow using the ScriptRunner Migration Suite.
Moving to cloud with more clarity and less guesswork
A smoother migration starts with better visibility.
By giving you a clear snapshot of your instance and a structured way to understand it, these updates help you approach cloud with more confidence and far less guesswork.
