Keeping track of Kubernetes policy violations across namespaces and clusters can be tedious, especially when teams rely on disconnected tools and manual workflows.
With Nirmata Control Hub’s Jira integration, you can automatically or manually create Jira tickets for policy violations directly from the platform. This ensures accountability, reduces MTTR (mean time to resolution), and improves team productivity by embedding policy compliance into your teams’ tools.

Why This Matters

Every misconfiguration or policy violation is a potential security or compliance risk. However, identifying issues is only the first step. The real value is in closing the loop—from detection to resolution.

Traditionally, teams rely on Slack alerts, dashboards, or Excel exports to track violations. But these quickly fall out of sync with what’s happening in the cluster or Git. Hira is where real work happens, and that’s where Nirmata Control Hub (NCH) now meets your team.

 

How It Works

Manual Ticket Creation Where It Matters

From any Policy Reports page, users can instantly generate a Jira issue for violations. Simply click “Create Jira Issue” and fill in the ticket details, such as project, title, issue type, priority, and assignee.

This creates traceability right at the source of the ossie, whether it;s a misconfigured deployment, a missing securityContext, or a policy deviation.

Automate What Should Be Automated

Even better, you can automate Jira ticket creation using configurable rules. Want every medium-severity violations in a production cluster to create a “Task” assigned to the SRE lead? Done.

Nirmata Control Hub supports conditional automation based on:

• Scope (e.g., per cluster or namespace)
• Severity
• Issue Type
• Priority 
• Assignee

This ensures the right issues go to the right people, without manual triage.

 

The Real Value: Moving from Visibility to Action

By connecting your policy engine directly with your workflow engine (Jira), you:

• Close the loop between detection and resolution
• Ensure visibility across both the platform and security teams
• Reduce MTTR (mean time to resolution) for policy violations
• Automate and scale governance with minimal manual intervention

And here’s the real game-changer: Nirmata Control Hub includes AI-powered remediations. That means you can instantly generate a recommended fix for every violation (and corresponding Jira ticket), making it effortless for developers and operators to apply the correction. This is true end-to-end resolution: detect → track → fix.
