RE: [otrs] OTRS on CentOS 4.4 incredibly slow

2007-01-04 Thread Jason Loven
Just FYI... I had/have similar problems. Getting mod_perl going helped
but there is still a noticeable pause when moving from page to page.
Typically 5-8 seconds on average. This appears to be mostly related to
the code that handles loading the page formatting as I remember it. I
had done some perl profiling a while back on our older server to try to
determine where the bottleneck was. I have some other PHP and Perl based
apps running on the same platform that snap almost instantly from page
to page.

Subject: [otrs] OTRS on CentOS 4.4 incredibly slow

 

My OTRS system is taking upwards of 20 seconds per action to load pages,
log in, process actions etc. This is very frustrating.

 

Could it be the OS that is causing this? I have a standard CentOS 4.4
server load that I have run yum update on, set up mysql and apache,
installed OTRS rpm, and basically that's it. I saw a post from someone
referring to a CGI update, which I did, then it killed the system and
apache would not restart, so I have wiped the system and started from
scratch.

Actually I built a VM-based CentOS box and did the RPM install of OTRS.
It's the only thing running on this particular VM. I got mod_perl
without any real work on my part. Wish I had more useful info to give
you.

Please disregard - RE: [otrs] Cron errors

Please disregard this post. The backup script actually errored as well
but more correctly pointed out that the article table was broken. A
table repair seems to have corrected the problem.

a syntax problem to me since it's looking for a table at that doesn't
exist. This is on a 2.0.4 install (which I had planned on upgrading to
2.1.x today).

[otrs] OTRS 2.0.4 performance (update)

2006-10-13 Thread Jason Loven








Just thought Id follow up on my earlier posting
regarding performance



I moved my OTRS 2.0.4 installation to a new server. I
provisioned a VMWare virtual server and put in CentOS4 and the v2.0.4 RPM on
it. In order to keep the installation as clean as possible I did a fresh
install of 2.0.4 and then just restored the database from my old server to the
new one. I do have to say the performance now that mod_perl is working is MUCH
improved although this is also due in some part to the fact that this VM host server
is a much heartier machine than the old dedicated box we had OTRS running on.



All seems to be running well although I had lost some of my
custom config settings in the transition. Nothing major and Im happier
to have a clean/fresh install from which to work/upgrade going forward.

Is it not possible to change the OTRS system FQDN from
inside the config? Every time I change it, it reverts back to the local host

Is the OTRS v2.0.4 RedHat RPM still available? Id

[otrs] OTRS 2.0.4 performance

2006-10-11 Thread Jason Loven








Can anyone out there give me an idea how the performance of
their OTRS is? Im getting a fairly noticeable delay between the time I
click on the zoom hyperlink and when the page actually comes up. The
delay is about 4-6 seconds. Sometimes more but I dont think Ive
ever seen it faster. Of course this is hardly a HUGE delay but it does seem a
bit high. Is this normal? 



We have it running for only a few agents (5-6) on a P4
2.0Ghz FreeBSD server with 1GB RAM. The MySQL database is on the same server
and if I write any custom queries against the sql it performs very well with
most queries returning in well under ½ second.



Were not running with mod_perl due to a configuration
problem that makes OTRS crash if I try to run it that way so thats to
blame for some of the problem Im sure. But as I said Ive actually
written a variety of perl/php scripts that query the database and they pop
right up as soon as I click on them.



Thoughts?

[otrs] Moving from Unix to Windows?

2006-04-17 Thread Jason Loven








Has anyone here done a migration/move of a running OTRS
2.0.4 system on Unix to a Windows platform? We are currently running our OTRS
on a FreeBSD system (not using mod_perl). Were looking at migrating it
to a Windows2003 server and at the same time bringing mod_perl into the mix. I
had original tried mod_perl on the FreeBSD box but had some Apache::Registry
issues that kept me off mod_perl. Im hoping that as part of the move to
the Windows box I can iron those out prior to bringing the system into
production mode.

Subject: Re: [otrs] Reopening tickets

  The only way i could reopen an ticket was forwarding the message to my
  self and putting the status on open but there should be a beter way?
 
  right?

If you set the following config options, you can set the state of a 
ticket by adding a note:

$Self-{'Ticket::Frontend::NoteSetState'} = 1;
$Self-{'Ticket::DefaultNextNoteStateType'} = ['new', 'open', 'closed', 
'removed'];

The second is for specifying which states it can be set to.

Regards,
Richard

[otrs] Reskinning OTRS and also any integration with CRM?

2006-04-06 Thread Jason Loven








Just curious if anyone has done any work on reskinning OTRS
at all? Some of the views (like the open tickets view) show a lot of
information it would be nice to pare down to just a line or 3.



Also has anyone managed to get OTRS working with any of the
CRM systems out there like Microsoft CRM or SugarCRM?





Thank you,

RE: [otrs] Reskinning OTRS and also any integration with CRM?

2006-04-06 Thread Jason Loven
Kurt,

Thanks for your feedback. I have a very strong feeling we will be embarking on 
a similar modification program in the not-so-distant future. I have taken my 
own halting steps into the source modules on several occasions to just learn 
how things work internally but its soon time to modify the code. I'll try to 
keep in touch as I start and progress.

[ Jason Loven ]

 Just curious if anyone has done any work on reskinning OTRS at all? Some
 of the views (like the open tickets view) show a lot of information it
 would be nice to pare down to just a line or 3.

I have. It started out as just a few tweaks, but I still decided to
create a whole new theme with all changes in order to be able to
switch back and forth. I just copied the Standard theme and went from
there on. That's the easy part. 

How hard it gets afterwards, depends entirely on what you want to achieve. 

- Just changing some colors and margins is mostly done in the css,
  but you might need a few new css-classes here and there. 
- larger re-designs are hard as the OTRS design is based on tables and
  not divs. This depends mostly on your html-fu. 
- Introducing new templates and cleanup up the moderately overloaded
  interface is more, eh, interesting. Some stuff is controlled by
  config settings and group memberships and such. Changing these in
  the config file removes stuff (e.g. FAQ link in navigation bar, if
  you don't need that). Other stuff is controlled by where you are and
  what you can do. Here you have to set permissions and things like
  that. Again other things have to edited out of the template
  manually. And yet other stuff is controlled by obscure template
  variables virtually impossible to detect where are set and where they
  end up and in which template block/loop. This can be frustrating, to
  say the least. 

  As an example I spent up to three hours in one particular spot
  trying to get a couple of new variables out into the template block
  in the right template, but eventually I gave and created a new
  module and template to do the job. 
  
  The template language which is re-invented in OTRS leaves something
  to be desired, IMNSHO. 

  On the positive side, it's fairly easy to find which module that
  handles a given page, just by looking at the url. If the URL says
  Action=AgentTicketForward for instance, there is a perl library
  called Kernel/Modules/AgentTicketForward.pm which handles this
  request, and template file probably called (also named in the file
  above) called Kernel/Output/HTML/YourTheme/AgentTicketForward.dtl
  which is used. 

  That's about all there is to it. After that, it's elbow grease and
  hard html/perl coding.

[otrs] Customer email as ID

2006-02-15 Thread Jason Loven








Is there a particular reason that its required that
the customer ID be an email address? I understand that its good to have
that to maintain a communications trail with the customer etc but often our
issues are handled over the phone and in about 15-20% of the cases the specific
person we are speaking with does not have an email address. At least not that
they wish to share. Also in about 25% of the tickets we open the tickets are
opened by a receptionist who takes the call or it may come in via a voice mail
where the customer does not leave an email. Just wondering if its possible
to make some small tweaks to accommodate this since currently OTRS checks the
MX validity of entered email so we cant even do something like [EMAIL PROTECTED] to
get the ticket open.

[otrs] OTRS addons?

2006-01-20 Thread Jason Loven



Has anyone written 
some OTRS addons etc that might be of use to other OTRS 
users?

Examples:

1. More advanced 
statistics reporting.
2. MRTG graphing of 
stats.
3. Integration with 
groupware systems.
4. Import/Export 
to/from Excel etc.

I'm using vanilla 
out of the box right now but I'm curious what others might be doing with it. I'd 
like to get my mitts on some samples of how to hook in and extract things from 
the database. Particularly the MRTG graphing interests me right 
now.

[otrs] Queue to group/user relationship

2006-01-20 Thread Jason Loven



I just want to 
clarify my understanding of groups and queues...

Is there a 
one-to-one relationship of queues to groups? Meaning that you can only associate 
a queue with a single group? I'm trying to understand how queues become 
available to agent users. I created a new user and gave them read-only access to 
a group or groups then they can see the queues that are also associated with 
that group correct? That appears to be the case. So to state it more plainly: 
Groups have a one-to-many relationship to queues?

[otrs] Error in system log

2006-01-20 Thread Jason Loven



I'm getting the following error in our system log. I'm 
not sure what's generating it. 

Fri Jan 20 15:45:26 2006 error OTRS-CGI-10 Found no $QueueID for Tech Services!

I grep'd the OTRS 
directory and can't find any reference to OTRS-CGI-10.
Can anyone offer a clue 
where to look?

Close...turns out it was far too obvious for me to see. I hadn't granted myself 
access to the stats group. Duh. I dunno how I missed that one but I'm 
espeically glad I got to share my cluelessness with the entire list.

[otrs] Reporting

2006-01-17 Thread Jason Loven



I'm running OTRS 
2.0.4 on a FreeBSD box. Things are working basically fine except I had thought 
there were supposed to be reports available. Am I just missing something? I 
don't see any options to generate reports of any sort. Or to graph statistics? I 
don't see any options for that either.
