The Secret Key is a secure random-generated alphanumeric string at the time of the Git Integration for Jira app installation. The user can change this to a different value by generating another secret token according to your Git host.
Use this key in the form of:
<JIRA_BASE_URL>/git/webhook/reindex/<SECRET_KEY>Assign your Jira base URL and Secret Key to the sample URL structure:
https://your.jira.com/rest/gitplugin/webhook/1.0/reindex/sdf34tGdfgGDG345g3y0045TYG23te37GET, POST, or PUT and the webhooks are enabled.

Advanced settings
The advanced options provide a couple of settings for webhook indexing performance improvements.
Ignore unmatching webhooks – Continuous reindexing of all repositories may cause significant performance issues if unmatching webhooks are not ignored. When set to Enabled (default), this setting filters out incoming webhooks without a matching repository. This setting is Enabled by default for new and upgrading users.
Min. repository reindex interval – The frequency of reindexing is set to a maximum of this value (in minutes). Default value is 5 minutes. Set this value to 0 (zero) to disable this setting.
