How to know if a project has issues in JIRA

I am working in a big company and we are having a lot of JIRA projects, I would like to have a dashboard or a way to know if the projects that exist in JIRA are used, e.g if there are any issues in them (I don't need to see the issues just to have a number). Can I do it without accessing to the database, do I need a plugin, is there a functional way to get the info? :) thanks a lot best regards Adrien k

You can easily do this with the built-in Two Dimensional Filter Statistics gadget:

  • first, search for all issues in your JIRA instance. There may be an easier way to do this, but you can certainly use JQL like project=ABC or project != ABC.
  • save the search as a filter
  • go to a dashboard, add a new Two Dimensional Filter Statistics gadget. Select your newly-saved filter, select "Project" for one axis, and something small in number (like Issue Type) to the other axis. You'll also need to adjust "Number of Results" to exceed the number of issue types in your system.
  • save the gadget

Note that the Projects gadget also provides somewhat-similar information with fewer configuration requirements, but as far as I know, it doesn't show the numeric issue totals unless you hover the mouse pointer over the bars.

The company I work for makes a plugin that can do that - Structure

Structure with JIRA issues grouped by Project

That's an example structure containing all issues in available projects, they are then grouped by project, and there's a column showing the number of sub-items (issues) in each group (project).

You can also add a structure to a dashboard/Confluence page.

On a large JIRA instance it be a bit on the expensive side to use it just for that alone though...
