SAST (Applications) Configuration

Select the SAST (Applications) Configuration tab to set the default reporter and assignee, map assets or groups to Jira projects, and map ticket priority to Continuous Dynamic ratings.

To configure the Continuous Dynamic Plugin for Jira Cloud, perform the following steps:

  1. On the app page, select the SAST (Applications) Configuration tab.

  2. Set the default Jira assignee for a given asset (site or application) and associated Jira project. (This will map these assets to the Jira project(s) in question.) To set default assignees by group rather than asset, select the Sentinel Groups radio button. In this case, all assets in a group will be associated to the Jira project selected.

Mapping Configuration

  1. Select an asset from the list of SAST Assets.

  2. Select a Jira project from the Projects list.

    The autocomplete for some fields might not populate until you enter an exact match. This is due to an Atlassian limitation.
  3. Enter the username of your Jira User Reporter in the search bar provided, then select them from the list.

  4. Enter the username of your Jira User to assign in the search bar provided, then select them from the list.

  5. Select the Jira Issue Type from the drop down list.

  6. The Jira Issue Status for OPEN Issues value is automatically set based on the Jira project workflow. The drop-down menu is disabled and manual change is not possible.

  7. Select a Jira Issue Transition For Closed Issues. In this menu, you can choose the status of Jira tickets that are closed by the Plugin: Done, In Review, or Closed. These values can differ depending on the selected Jira Issue Type.

  8. You can create Custom Issue Labels, which apply to each Jira Issue in the selected Jira Project.

  9. If you wish to remove Mapping Configuration, click Remove Mapping Configuration. It is possible to remove or save the first Mapping Configuration. If you do not want SAST integration to run, simply disable SAST integration in the Basic Configuration tab.

  10. If you want to map your SAST assets to multiple Jira Projects, you can add another Mapping Configuration by clicking Add Mapping Configuration. To configure another Mapping Configuration follow previous steps.

  11. After finishing your configuration and adding or removing Mapping Configurations, save this configuration by clicking Save All Mapping Configurations. A success message should appear. If the message does not appear, refer to the Troubleshooting section.
