# External issue tracker
GitLab has a great issue tracker but you can also use an external one such as
Jira, Redmine, or Bugzilla. Issue trackers are configurable per GitLab project and allow
you to do the following:
- the **Issues** link on the GitLab project pages takes you to the appropriate
issue index of the external tracker
- clicking **New issue** on the project dashboard creates a new issue on the
external tracker
- you can reference these external issues inside GitLab interface
(merge requests, commits, comments) and they will be automatically converted
into links
## Configuration
The configuration is done via a project's **Services**.
### Project Service
To enable an external issue tracker you must configure the appropriate **Service**.
Visit the links below for details:
- [Redmine](../user/project/integrations/redmine.md)
- [Jira](../user/project/integrations/jira.md)
- [Bugzilla](../user/project/integrations/bugzilla.md)
### Service Template
To save you the hassle from configuring each project's service individually,
GitLab provides the ability to set Service Templates which can then be
overridden in each project's settings.
Read more on [Services Templates](../user/project/integrations/services_templates.md).
