Manage instances

Once you have one or more instances configured, the Instances tab is your day-to-day operations view. From there you can scan health across providers, change the configuration of an instance, stop an instance temporarily, or remove one entirely. Clicking an instance name opens a per-instance detail page with deeper status and a focused Jobs table.

The Instances tab

Open Data out > Instances. Instances are grouped by provider in collapsible sections. Each section header shows the provider's vendor brand and two badges: N instances (total in the group) and N active (currently running).

Instances tab grouped by provider with three Jira instances

Within each group, a table lists every instance with:

ColumnWhat it shows
InstanceThe Workflow name configured on the instance. Click to open the instance detail page.
StatusActive when the instance is enabled; greys out when stopped.
Last runRelative timestamp of the most recent job, for example 8 minutes ago or 3 days ago.
SuccessfulCount of jobs in the Succeeded terminal state. Lifetime count, not a rolling window.
Failed jobsCount of jobs in the Failed terminal state. A red value here is a triage signal.
Project issue typeCompact label of the configured Jira project + issue type, for example PROS--Task (project key PROS, issue type Task).

A Status filter dropdown above the table lets you narrow the list to All, Active, or Stopped instances. The + Add instance button on the right of the section header opens the Add Jira instance wizard for that provider.

Row actions

Hover over a row to reveal three icons on the right edge: Stop, Edit, and Delete.

Instance row hover state showing Stop, Edit, and Delete icons

IconActionEffect
Stop (yellow octagon)Pauses the instance. New CCM Create ticket calls and producer webhook events for this instance return immediately without creating a Jira ticket. The instance row Status flips to Stopped.Reversible - hover again to see a Start action that re-enables it.
Edit (pencil)Opens the Edit workflow modalReversible - changes apply on save.
Delete (trash)Permanently removes the instanceNot reversible. Confirm in the dialog. Existing Jobs records are retained for audit but no new jobs can be created against this instance.

Edit an instance

Clicking the Edit (pencil) icon on a row opens the Edit workflow modal.

Edit workflow modal with Workflow name, Data in Jira integration, and Issue type fields

The fields match Step 2 of the Add Jira instance wizard:

FieldWhat you can change
Workflow nameUpdate the friendly label. The new name appears immediately in the Instances tab and in the CCM Create ticket modal's Workflow dropdown.
Data in Jira integrationRe-target the instance to a different Jira project URL. Useful when a project key is renamed in Jira, or when you want to re-point an existing instance at a different project.
Issue typeChange the Jira issue type new tickets are filed under. The dropdown is searchable - start typing the project key (for example, pros) to narrow the list.

Click Save changes to apply. The next CCM Create ticket call against this instance will use the new configuration.

info

Editing an instance does not change the underlying Connection. To rotate credentials or repoint an instance to a different Atlassian site, edit the Connection instead via Configure a Jira connection.

Stop versus Delete

Use Stop when you want to temporarily disable an instance - for example, while you investigate a string of failures, or when the target Jira project is undergoing maintenance. Stop is reversible and preserves the instance's history.

Use Delete only when the instance is no longer needed. Deletion is irreversible. If a producer (such as the CCM Create ticket modal) has been pointed at the deleted instance, the next call will fall back to the workflow picker - admins will need to choose a different instance.

Instance detail page

Click any instance name to open its detail page. The breadcrumb shows the path: Data out > Instances > {Workflow name}.

Instance detail page with summary header and per-instance jobs table

Summary header

The header surfaces eight metrics at a glance:

MetricWhat it means
StatusActive or Stopped.
Last runTimestamp of the most recent job.
Last updatedWhen the instance configuration was last edited (Workflow name, project, issue type).
Lifetime tasksTotal number of jobs this instance has produced over its lifetime.
Jobs succeededLifetime count of jobs in Succeeded state.
Jobs failedLifetime count of jobs in Failed state.
Data in integrationThe Jira project URL the instance is scoped to (https://{site}/jira/software/projects/{KEY}).
Issue typeThe compact Project--IssueType identifier the instance writes under.

Per-instance Jobs table

Below the header is a Jobs table scoped to this instance only. Use it as the first stop when triaging a single instance's recent activity.

ColumnWhat it shows
Job IDUnique identifier of the outbound delivery, for example j-AaD9zzYn-DBYwFH-CD. Useful for cross-referencing in support tickets.
StatusTerminal state: Succeeded or Failed.
StartedRelative timestamp when the job began.
CompletedRelative timestamp when the job reached its terminal state.
Error messageShort failure reason for jobs in the Failed state, for example Webhooks: new .... Empty for Succeeded jobs.

A search box and an All statuses filter let you narrow the table when an instance has many jobs.

For triage tips on common error messages and stuck jobs, see Troubleshooting.

Top-right kebab menu

The kebab (three-dot) menu in the top right of the detail page offers the same actions as the row hover: Stop, Edit, Delete. Use this when you have already drilled into the instance and want to take an action without going back to the list.

Permission model

In 1.0, every action on the Instances tab and instance detail page (view, create, edit, stop, delete) requires the full admin role. Non-admins do not see the Data Out left-nav entry. See Configure a Jira connection for the upstream prerequisite.
