Get metrics from JIRA

The below example gets issues for an empty jql of a cloud-based JIRA system.

Empty jql string means that all issues are taken as result.

As no user/password are provided and this JIRA system as no free-accessible projects, the result should be 0.

Hint

You may need to create a API-token for JIRA-cloud, because using your password in JIRA-cloud is not allowed. In this case, simply use the token for the password field.

See JIRA api token docs.
