It is ~7 months old. * Ticket has zero transactions * Ticket is in 'new' status as expected. Never had a different state. * Ticket is owned by 'Nobody in particular' (aka account name 'Nobody') as expected for a ticket with no transactions. Never had a different owner. * Ticket is in 'atcc-help' queue. Never had a different queue. * All criteria above match the search query below fully: Queue = 'atcc-help' AND ( Status = 'new' OR Status = 'open' OR Status = 'stalled' ) AND ( Owner = 'Nobody' OR Owner = 'jbla...@our.org' ) Yet it sat hidden for ~7 months, not showing in the search results, and then popped into view Friday 11/4. We do not have any homebrew customizations at all for *this* RT instance. We use RT::Extension::Nagios and RT::Extension:Assets. I can't really picture how we could reproduce this failure scenario. -- Jeff Blaine kickflop.net - RT 4.4 and RTIR training sessions, and a new workshop day! https://bestpractical.com/training * Los Angeles - January 9-11 2017

One of your AND conditions may not be met so the ticket does not show up. Are you saving your Email that is creating the missed tickets? You could try submitting a similar Email to see if it has the same visibility problem. Also, do you have any customizations? Sometimes a change can have unusual ramifications down the line.

Martin, Right, that's where I first looked. There are zero transactions past the initial creation via email. Nothing has been done to the ticket.

Re: [rt-users] "Hidden" tickets suddenly appear
Hi Jeff, If you examine the ticket history of the problem ticket it should tell you what happened for it to be set back to the "new" status. Is it being reopened by a reply to a email from the pervious ticket corespondance perhaps??

[rt-users] "Hidden" tickets suddenly appear
RT 4.2.13 backed by PostgreSQL, though I feel like we've been experiencing the following for many versions. I've been suspect for quite some time, but thought maybe I was losing my mind instead. I've confirmed finally that I am not losing my mind re: RT in this specific case. We are definitely seeing the following situation. I'm curious if anyone has thoughts as to where to start debugging the root cause. I use a simple saved search as my view into RT at work. Others using this queue also use a similar one. The query is: Queue = 'atcc-help' AND ( Status = 'new' OR Status = 'open' OR Status = 'stalled' ) AND ( Owner = 'Nobody' OR Owner = 'jbla...@our.org' ) The display settings for the search have "Rows: Unlimited" It results in a daily list of 70-120 tickets. We are seeing tickets appear in this list, where they have never appeared in the list before, after some period of being in the queue. In most cases, the mystery ticket has a "Created" date of more than a few weeks ago. The most recent case was 5 months. That is, a ticket with "Created" of around 5 months ago, and in "new" status, showed up in the results of the search above where it never had shown up before. As you can imagine, this is terrible for customer service. Luckily it seems pretty rare.
