Obtaining Jira Filter ID for a Project / Agile Board
Problem statement
In some cases it is necessary to pick not a whole project in JIRA for connecting to PERF board, but just a sub-set of project issues: for example that might be an Agile Board (in case if multiple boards are used at the project to manage multiple teams) or just a dedicated "saved filter". In such cases PERF asks for JIRA "filter id" to be provided. As this can be tricky and not everyone knows at once how to obtain such "filter id" from JIRA, this page explains it.
In general, to learn what are benefits of using saved searches in JIRA as well as how to create and save filter - check the article Saving your search as a filter.
Option 1 - take a filter from Agile Board
Go to your Agile Board in JIRA -> Board -> Configure
In the "General" area of the board configuration - find the "Edit Filter Query" or "View Filter Query" (depending on your permissions) - and pick the value of "requestId" parameter while hovering mouse over an link.
In this example the "83540" is a required "filter id" which you can provide to the PERF application.
Option 2 - take an id of saved filter (not mapped to Agile Board)
In JIRA go to "Issues" -> "Manage Filters"
Hover on a required filter and check its id in the status bar
In this example, the "73206" is a required "filter id" for the PERF application.
