Ticket system seems to have bugs.

Hello Paessler,

I had previously raised a consultation regarding the notifications mechanism and based on the reccomendations I have configured the notifications with the following parameters: (https://kb.paessler.com/en/topic/60552-do-closed-tickets-re-appear)

I have around 400 Wireless APs with only the ping sensor

The notifications are configured as:

If the Ping sensor falls into Fail state at least for 3 days raise a ticket,

if this condition continues for another 3 days, raise another ticket (which actually updates the previously raised ticket with a new date) and repeat this condition every 240 minutes (4 hours)

For some reason, after some days about half of my tickets stop being updated with a new date, but new duplicated tickets are created for the same devices.. I do not know why. So I receive a bigger list of the same devices with an old date and new tickets for the same devices with a new date.

Sometimes the tickets are closed automatically and the reason for this is "the condition ended", however, when I go to the sensor´s report, the sensor never went out of the down state. (For example I have a device that was removed about 1 month ago, and it is not there, so the ping is always in down state, but the ticket was closed automatically yesterday, because the "condition ended")

Can you help me with this issue, because I do not know what is the total number of devices in down state for at least for 3 days, so I do not know which of them should be given priority

Thanks!

Hello,

our QA team has setup some tests, trying to reproduce the issue.

Debugging this can be very complicated, and will take some time.

Ok, dont worry. I also raised a ticket for this issue, but I dont know if it was succesfully created, because PRTG did not return me the ticket number.. How do I check the ticket numbers that were created by me or at least if they were created at all?

Thank you.

Hi Vad,

Tickets are reused as long as they are not closed. They will be reused in case the Sensor is the same (i.E. it has not been replaced by another) and if the Trigger and Trigger Object remains the same. Once a Ticket is closed, the same Ticket will not be used again. One more thing is, that the reuse of open Tickets only works until the Core Server undergoes a restart. After that new Tickets will be generated for the same Errors. The reason why your Ticket was closed due to "condition ended" is unclear, we could not reproduce this behaviour in our Labs.

kind regards, Andy

Are you still troubleshooting this? Do you need any extra data? Maybe access to my PRTG installation so you can see this?
