Your Jira guardian
ScriptRunner for Jira's Escalation Services are powerful, automated scripts that act like your Jira guardian. Set them up and they monitor your Jira instance, automatically taking specific actions as required, based on the conditions and parameters you set.
Proactive monitoring
It means that you have proactive monitoring of Jira. Need to enforce the completion of issues by a specific date? Use an Escalation Service to align specific issues or issue types with SLAs based, flagging inaction to you or other Jira user(s).
Jira housekeeping
Why not implement an Escalation Service to clean up your Jira issues? It's easy to set one up to automatically change the status of an issue after a specified period of time.
With ScriptRunner for Jira it's easy to set up a new Escalation Service. Write your own with ScriptRunner and JQL or use the pre-written ones.
