Jira macros and gadgets
For displaying basic Jira information, such as issues and charts, try using Jira Issues Macro and Jira Chart Macro as these macros have better performance and are easier to configure than gadgets.
If the Jira information you want to display is not available from either of these macros, a gadget will likely do the trick.
The following Jira gadgets are currently not supported. Support will be available in the near future.
Agile Wallboard
Sprint burndown chart
