2. Create an issue link to the other JIRA server.

I would consider this senario to be quite common. We should be displaying a message on the UI that indicates communication is down.

Dumping this message in the logs is just noise in its current form. It might be okay to dump a single line but I would rather not. If the message on the UI is good enough an admin should be able to track things down. We can dump a full log in debug mode maybe
