Most of what makes Diagrams for Jira worth having in the suite comes from what sits next to it. This page is the summary; each connection has its own page with the detail.

Where a connection does not exist, it is listed as such rather than left out, so you can stop looking.

#Every connection

Connects to

What you get

External services to connect

Nothing for a user or admin to connect after install.

Outbound domains an admin approves at install

Static.app.<zone>. Fonts, styles, scripts, images, frames and client fetch. Client.api.app.<zone>. Images and client fetch (this is the diagram rendering service). Wss://ws.api.app.<zone>. Client websocket. Server.api.app.<zone>. Browser.sentry-cdn.com and o4504357537906688.ingest.sentry.io. All are

Jira permissions requested

Permission enforcement is app-managed (rolling releases), so a version that adds a permission installs immediately and waits for approval in Admin Hub rather than blocking existing installs. Note that three of the seven scopes (manage:jira-webhook, manage:jira-configuration, manage:jira-project) plu

How you are authenticated to Capable's service

This matters for anonymous dashboards: without a token, server-rendered diagram types draw nothing.

Where diagrams are stored

Saving does POST /rest/api/3/issue/{key}/attachments with a file named <Title><extension>, using your own Jira permissions. The extension comes from the diagram language (mermaid → .mermaid, drawio → .drawio, excalidraw → .excalidraw, and so on). Diagrams therefore appear in the issue's Attachments.

What leaves your Jira site

Rendering encodes or posts the source to client.api.app.<zone>/v1/diagram with your token attached. Nothing in the Jira edition lets an admin turn this off, because there is no settings screen.

Licensing

The banner reads "License Not Found" when no licence record exists, or "Trial expired" / "License expired" when it has lapsed. A fresh install can take a few minutes for the licence to become active. Separately, the background job that keeps the diagram JQL index up to date stops firing entirely on.

#The pages

#A few things worth knowing

  • A connection needs both halves installed. In a standalone app most of these do not exist.

  • Anything that depends on search only reflects pages that have been indexed.

  • Published sites render Capable macros properly, which is where several of these pay off.

Better with company.
