Filtering Notificiation Recipients

I find OTRS notification configuration options really flexible and robust. I'm however having a problem, when I want to filter recipients ; for instance I would want to send notification to All agents subscribed to the ticket’s queue , AND, belonging to a certain group or roles. Meaning, if user is ...

Where Are OTRS Logs Stored?

From the admin, one is able to see logs - System Logs. I need to access these logs but can't seem to figure out where they are stored. Are in in a log file, or stored in a db?

Re: <OTRS_CURRENT_UserComment> Not Displaying Comments in Alerts

Seems <OTRS_CURRENT_UserComment> doesn't work. I used <OTRS_AGENT_BODY> instead and all I can say is, yippee!!! :-)

<OTRS_CURRENT_UserComment> Not Displaying Comments in Alerts

<OTRS_CURRENT_UserComment> tag in alerts does not display comments. So is <OTRS_OWNER_UserComment>. However, the rest like <OTRS_CURRENT_UserFristname> are displaying as expected. What could be wrong?

Re: Running SQLs to Create Groups, Queues: Problem

Never do manual inserts on the database! You (most likely)will break dependencies. Neverless, there is a cache, wich need to be deletednow Thanks. I deleted cache. Thanks for the advise too. Was careful to analyze dependencies first but I suppose OTRS API would help with over 120 groups, queues etc...

Running SQLs to Create Groups, Queues: Problem

Hi,

I ran insert SQLs on Postgresql to create groups and queues. However, I'm not able to see these groups and queues on the dashboard. Why is this? Or what other tables are updated when new group or queue is added normally?
Please help.

Re: Custom Skin CSS Cache

I had exactly the same problem until I chmod 775 for css-cache directory (css-cache directory should allow write permissions for web server user group (www-data for Ubuntu))
One more thing: Apache error.log file will be your friend.

Re: Updating Ticket Using Generic Interface

I think generic agent might be quite limited on this one. Here's a scenario: I pick the name of queue, person responsible from database, and use the values to update ticket - this is for process management. Thus why I want to go this route, as per the guide below. https://otrs.github.io/doc/api/otrs...

Updating Ticket Using Generic Interface

I'm new to OTRS, and I would like to update ticket, say changing queue, person responsible or even dynamic fields, via generic interface. Where to I begin? Should I create Perl scripts, and then call them using commands during events, or which is the ideal approach?

EscalationResponseTimeStart Event to Send Escalation Notification

I have tried to make escalation notifications work since I upgraded to OTRS 5, without much success. I want to clarity, maybe I could be using wrong event; should response escalation notification for instance, be tagged on the event EscalationResponseTimeStart, or which event should I use?

Re: OTRS Events Log

Found it, here:

Edit Config Settings in Daemon → Core::Log, change Daemon::Log::STDOUT to Yes

You can then check through Daemon logs, that is, Scheduler*OUT*.log

OTRS Events Log

Where can one find a log of all OTRS events triggered? Or what configuration is required in order to achieve this? If it's not inbuilt, how easy or difficult is it to achieve it?

Enable Escalation Notifications in OTRS 5?

Reading on OTRS blog, escalation notifications need to be enabled, by editing /opt/otrs/Kernal/Config/GenericAgent.pm. See link below: http://blog.otrs.org/2011/10/17/otrs-tips-tricks-ticket-escalations-part-two-sla-based-escalations/comment-page-1/ Now this was true for OTRS 3. OTRS 5 however has n...

Hello,

We started having problems after upgrading to OTRS 5. All escalation notifications - response, update and solution go out at once even before response escalation time of 10 minutes expires. What could be wrong?
