Help — Status Resolution

Why is this needed?

Cockpit ITSM uses numeric IDs for ticket statuses. These IDs differ from one instance to another, so the application needs a reference ticket per type to retrieve the correct ID from your instance.

How to find a reference ticket
  1. Log in to your Cockpit ITSM instance.
  2. Go to the Tickets module (1), choose All tickets (2), then select the History — Tickets tab (3). Select a wide date range (4) and apply the filters (5). Type / Status combinations
  3. Apply the following filters one at a time and note one ticket ID for each:
    • Type: INCIDENT / Status: New
    • Type: INCIDENT / Status: Acknowledged
    • Type: INCIDENT / Status: Auto-Completed
    • Type: REQUEST / Status: New
    • Type: REQUEST / Status: Acknowledged
    • Type: REQUEST / Status: To validate
    • Type: CHANGE / Status: New
    • Type: CHANGE / Status: Acknowledged
    • Type: CHANGE / Status: To validate
    • Type: PROBLEM / Status: New
    • Type: RELEASE / Status: New
  4. Enter only the ticket number (digits only) in the corresponding field on the Ticket Status page and click Resolve.
Important notes
  • Enter only the ticket number — do not include any prefix, hash, or text.
  • The ticket ID must match the type — an Incident ticket ID cannot be used to resolve a Request status.
  • You only need to resolve statuses for the ticket types you intend to monitor.
  • You can use different tickets to resolve different statuses of the same type — one ticket per status you want to capture.
  • Once resolved, the status appears in the list and can be selected for filtering.
