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
- Log in to your Cockpit ITSM instance.
-
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).
-
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
-
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.
