Import Vansah Reporting Data into eazyBI

Copy a Vansah gadget’s reporting URL, configure eazyBI REST API authentication, and map the returned data for reporting.

Import Vansah reporting data into eazyBI using its REST API data source. Start with a configured Vansah gadget, copy its reporting URL, and use a Vansah API token to retrieve the data.

Before you begin

  • You have access to an eazyBI account that can import external REST API data.

  • A supported Vansah gadget is configured and returns the data you need in the Jira dashboard.

  • You have a Vansah API token for an account with access to the relevant Jira spaces and reporting data.

  • Review the gadget’s scope and filters. The copied URL refers to that report configuration; it is not an export of all Vansah data.

1. Copy the Vansah reporting URL

  1. Open the Jira dashboard containing the configured Vansah gadget.

  2. Open its configuration using the gadget menu’s Configure option.

  3. Open the share-link control and select Copy Link.

  4. Keep the complete generated URL, including its query parameters. Do not replace its host with a sample URL.

The screenshots show an older layout. Use a gadget that offers this link. The URL uses the gadget’s reporting operation and type=bi to return data for import.

2. Add the eazyBI source

  1. In eazyBI, open Source Data, select Add new source application, and choose REST API.

  2. Paste the copied link into Source data URL.

  3. Choose GET.

  4. In Authentication parameters, select HTTP header. Use Authorization as the header name and your private Vansah API token as its value, without a Bearer prefix.

  5. Select JSON content and use $.data as Data path for the BI response.

  6. Continue and inspect the returned rows before mapping.

For eazyBI-specific options, see its REST API import guide.

3. Map and import the data

Review the source columns, types, and sample values. Map dimensions and measures for the report you want, then start the import. Fields vary by Vansah gadget, so use the preview instead of copying another report’s mapping.

Reviewing source columns and sample values in eazyBI

Compare the imported rows with the configured Vansah report. Confirm the selected scope, dates, and filters before using the data in a dashboard.

Keep the source working

  • Keep the configured source gadget available. Do not assume that deleting a dashboard or gadget leaves the integration working.

  • Check the source again after changing gadget filters or configuration.

  • Update eazyBI authentication when the Vansah token expires or is revoked.

  • Imported data refreshes through eazyBI imports; it is not a live view of every Vansah change.

Troubleshooting

Problem

Check

Authentication error

Correct generated host and valid Vansah token in the Authorization header.

Access or report configuration error

Token account access, gadget configuration, and the complete copied query parameters.

Empty or unexpected data

Gadget scope/filters, BI response data array, and eazyBI data path.

Different totals

Mapping, aggregation, reused Test Cases, and the date/scope of the imported report.

If the generated URL fails, capture the error without exposing the token and contact Vansah.
