Below is the how-to as well as some usage notes i wrote for our company:\n\nFirst we start out with determining the current syntax of the JQL Issues/Filter macro in confluence:\n\n1. Install or Enabled the \"Confluence Source Editor\" plugin\n2. Create new page\n3. Add the JIRA Issue/Filter macro\n4. Use a simple basic query\n5. Click the \"\\<\\>\" button to view the source of the page.\n6. Copy the JIRA Issue/Filter macro syntax to a text editor, e.g.\n\n ```\n &lt;p&gt; &lt;ac:structured-macro ac:macro-id=\"5a45704b-a904-4440-bdc0-da68a22d5802\" ac:name=\"jira\" ac:schema-version=\"1\"&gt; &lt;ac:parameter ac:name=\"server\"&gt;JIRA&lt;/ac:parameter&gt; &lt;ac:parameter ac:name=\"columns\"&gt;key,summary,type,created&lt;/ac:parameter&gt; &lt;ac:parameter ac:name=\"maximumIssues\"&gt;20&lt;/ac:parameter&gt; &lt;ac:parameter ac:name=\"jqlQuery\"&gt;assignee = abarylak and resolution is EMPTY &lt;/ac:parameter&gt; &lt;ac:parameter ac:name=\"serverId\"&gt;c8001771-0b52-30e0-9703-562a2820710f&lt;/ac:parameter&gt; &lt;/ac:structured-macro&gt;&lt;/p&gt;\n ```\n\nThen we need to use the above syntax (a little modified) and use that for our macro.\n\n1. Create a macro with 2 parameters: maxRows, columns\n2. Remove the macro-id from the above syntax\n3. Modify the $body variable to remove unnecessary white space using trim() and html paragraph tags (see below)\n4. Inject the $body into the jqlQuery element in the above syntax\n5. **NOTE:**The \"serverId\" parameter may change server to server, so you must get that ID from your current server you want to deploy this to via the source editor plugin.\n6. Results are as follows:\n\n ```\n ## Macro title: JQL Filter Allowing Variables## Macro has a body: Y## Body processing: Rendered## Output: JIRA Issues/Filter Macro w/ injected variables#### Developed by: Adam Barylak## Date created: 2016-05-27## Installed by: Adam Barylak## This macro will prompt for max number of rows and the column option, then the body will require the JQL with injected variables## @param maxRows:title=Max Rows|type=int|required=true|default=20|desc=Enter the max rows, anything above 1000 will only display 1000 rows.## @param columns:title=Columns|type=string|required=true|default=key,summary,type,status,assignee|desc=Enter the columns you want returned.

Inject template variables as needed. If quotes needed around variable, insert variable first, then surround variable with quotes.\n* Categories: Reporting\n* Macro Body Processing: Rendered\n\nHow to use JQL Filter Macro in Template with Variables: {#toc-hId-649763200}\n----------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n1. Get your query working in JIRA in Advanced mode (text based) with your filter(s) for a single run.\n2. Copy advanced JQL text to notepad or clipboard.\n 1. Notes for format:\n 1. Do not include any line breaks in the JQL\n 2. Ensure all whitespaces are spaces and not tabs or other characters\n 3. Ensure all special characters such as parenthesis or quotes are basic text (not the special characters sometimes used by MS Word or MS Outlook)\n 4. If all else fails, manually re-type the JQL using temporary placeholders for the variables, then using the \"$\" keyboard command to place the variables into the JQL statement where necessary\n3. Create template in Confluence with any header level variables needed. (you can create variables with the gui, but using them later requires you to type $ then the variable name or copying and pasting. If you use the UI again, it will add an additional $ sign to the variable therefore making it a new variable and it won't work.)\n4. Add the \"JQL Filter Allowing Variables\" macro with appropriate options. (it is located in the Reporting category)\n 1. Max Rows: only allows a max of 1000\n 2. Columns: you may need to use a normal JIRA Issue macro and configure it with your specific columns, then view the source to determine the correct name of some fields. However, the rule so far is that there are no spaces except what is in the field name, and all fields are lowercase, and not surrounded by quotes. Examples of some fields: key, summary,related requirement/s,test case type,test author\n5. In the body of the macro, paste in your entire JQL query from step 2 \n ConfMacro1.png\n6. Inject your variable or variables into the JQL. \n ConfMacro2.png\n7. If you need to include quotes around variable to support spaces in variable text, add them after injecting the variable(s) into the query. \n ConfMacro3.png\n8. Using this method you can inject multiple variables if needed. \n ConfMacro4.png\n9. Save your template and use as needed.\n\nHopefully this helps others accomplish this same task. This ends up being really useful if you need to repeat a bunch of JQL filters for different things on different pages in Confluence and you don't have to store these filters as saved filters in JIRA either. \n[](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/Page-Tamplates-injecting-Form-Field-values-into-macro-argument/qaq-p/2864?attachment-id=9683){#link_118da63274fac7} \n[](/tnckb94959/attachments/tnckb94959/confluence-questions/447/1/ConfMacro3.png){#display_118da63274fac7_0} \n[](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/Page-Tamplates-injecting-Form-Field-values-into-macro-argument/qaq-p/2864?attachment-id=9684){#link_118da63274fac7_0} \n[](/tnckb94959/attachments/tnckb94959/confluence-questions/447/2/ConfMacro1.png){#display_118da63274fac7_2} \n[](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/Page-Tamplates-injecting-Form-Field-values-into-macro-argument/qaq-p/2864?attachment-id=9685){#link_118da63274fac7_1} \n[](/tnckb94959/attachments/tnckb94959/confluence-questions/447/3/ConfMacro2.png){#display_118da63274fac7_4} \n[](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/Page-Tamplates-injecting-Form-Field-values-into-macro-argument/qaq-p/2864?attachment-id=9686){#link_118da63274fac7_2} \n[](/tnckb94959/attachments/tnckb94959/confluence-questions/447/4/ConfMacro4.png){#display_118da63274fac7_6}\n", "comments": [ { "author": "Marcin Gebski", "body": "This approach worked for me on Confluence 6.

Probably have a mysql expert or postgres expert tune it.\n\n\\* try to anticipate the actual load on your server and create a distributed load test using JMeter and scripts Atlassian provides to load test\n\n\\* fire it up, run the tests and see if performance is good\n\n\\* configure monitoring like Atlassian suggests in that first link\n\n\\* configure and test a hot swap with a spare machine\n\n\\* don't even think about using a VM (I'm sure all of these things are pretty obvious)\n\n***alternately***\n\n\\* **talk to Contegix about hosting it** - they are world class in every sense of the phrase to work with.
