Issue with SQL code: Kace Service Desk New Ticket Notification - Email

Good Day Everyone,

   How is everyone doing? The issue at hand is dealing with the Kace K1000's Service Desk Email notification. I am currently trying to create a custom ticket rule that emails a group of people whne a new ticket is generated within a queue.

 

A Dell Kace tech point me in the direction of this URL - 

http://www.kace.com/support/resources/kb/solutiondetail?sol=SOL111222

 

This URL contains the SQL code below that is either full of errors or does not work. Can someone assist me the proper SQL code that generates an email to let my IT Department of when a user opens a new ticket via the Kace web interface.

SQL Code Does Not Work:

SELECT

-- ticket fields

HD_TICKET.ID, -- $id

HD_TICKET.ID AS TICKNUM, -- $ticknum

HD_TICKET.TITLE, -- $title

DATE_FORMAT(HD_TICKET.CREATED,'%b %d %Y %I:%i:%s %p') AS CREATED, -- $created

DATE_FORMAT(HD_TICKET.MODIFIED,'%b %d %Y %I:%i:%s %p') AS MODIFIED, -- $modified

-- change fields

C.COMMENT, -- $comment

C.DESCRIPTION, -- $description

GROUP_CONCAT(CONCAT('----- Change by ', UPDATER.EMAIL,' at ',H.TIMESTAMP,' -----\n',

H.DESCRIPTION,'\n',H.COMMENT,'\n\nPlease see your ticket at http://kbox/userui/ticket.php?ID=',H.HD_TICKET_ID,'\n')

ORDER BY H.ID DESC SEPARATOR '\n') HISTORY, -- $history

-- about the updater

UPDATER.USER_NAME AS UPDATER_UNAME, -- $updater_uname

UPDATER.FULL_NAME AS UPDATER_FNAME, -- $updater_fname

UPDATER.EMAIL AS UPDATER_EMAIL, -- $updater_email

IF(UPDATER.FULL_NAME='',UPDATER.USER_NAME,UPDATER.FULL_NAME) AS UPDATER_CONDITIONAL, -- $updater_conditional

-- about the owner

OWNER.USER_NAME AS OWNER_UNAME, -- $owner_uname

OWNER.FULL_NAME AS OWNER_FNAME, -- $owner_fname

OWNER.EMAIL AS OWNER_EMAIL, -- $owner_email

IFNULL(OWNER.USER_NAME,'Unassigned') OWNER_USER, -- $owner_user

-- about the submitter

SUBMITTER.USER_NAME AS SUBMITTER_UNAME, -- $submitter_uname

SUBMITTER.FULL_NAME AS SUBMITTER_FNAME, -- $submitter_fname

SUBMITTER.EMAIL AS SUBMITTER_EMAIL, -- $submitter_email

-- about priority

P.NAME AS PRIORITY, -- $priority

-- about status

S.NAME AS STATUS, -- $status

-- about impact

I.NAME AS IMPACT, -- $impact

-- about category

-- other fields

-- -- example of static distribution list

'helpdesk@mycompany.com' AS NEWTICKETEMAIL -- $newticketemail

WHERE

C.DESCRIPTION LIKE 'TICKET CREATED%'

/* this is necessary when using group by functions */

GROUP BY HD_TICKET.ID

HAVING 1=1

  • Hi

    I do not know if the above a direct copy of what you have currently as a new ticket rule.

    If it is you need to change two things still:

    H.DESCRIPTION,'\n',H.COMMENT,'\n\nPlease see your ticket at http://kbox/userui/ticket.php?ID=',H.HD_TICKET_ID,'\n') -

    The above needs to be changed to the url of your servicedesk.

    'helpdesk@mycompany.com' AS NEWTICKETEMAIL -- $newticketemail

    The above needs to be changed to the distrubution email group of your IT team.

    I still dont know what options you have enabled on the actual ticket rule as if you only added the above code to one section it still will not work.

    You will need to add the sql code in the
    " Send an email for each result row" option box. - GoranK 9 years ago

    Note you will probably need to change the HD_TICKET.HD_QUEUE_ID to match up with yours

    • Finally got it working. Thanks JBR32 - shandy4473 9 years ago
  • Thanks Jbr32 but it's not working. - shandy4473 9 years ago
    • If you are manually executing the code it will not work as it references a variable that only exists during runtime <change_id>

      If you let it just run in ticket save it should work - Jbr32 9 years ago
      • I've been banging my head against the wall all morning trying to figure out what this syntax (<change_id>) means so that I can test modifications to this query. Similar syntax is in many KACE SQL queries on these forums and in the KB. This explanation is too important to be buried in the middle of a thread like this. (And if it is featured somewhere more prominently, it isn't easily searchable... I've not found it anywhere yet.) - MichaelMc 9 years ago
    • Also what was the error? - Jbr32 9 years ago
  • Hi shandy. I work KACE Technical Support and have been vested in this particular KACE article. Is the SQL you provided your actual SQL statement altered for your configuration? If not please provide the SQL you are using so I can review. - KACE_Mary 9 years ago
    • Or if you prefer email me the SQL statement mary_scherich@dell.com - KACE_Mary 9 years ago
  • Right now the above SQL code partially works. The email portion of it doesnt work. If you select the option of "Send query results to someone" - then an email is sent upon opening a new ticket which is the desired outcome.

    However without selecting the option of "Send query results to someonme" - the script doesnt email - shandy4473 9 years ago
  • For a product that costs around 10K - customers should not be experiencing email issues such as this. A ticketing system should out of the box have a built in system for sending email alerts for new tickets.

    I am very surprised by this

    Thanks

    • Steve ,

      please use what is currently listed in the FAQ http://www.kace.com/support/resources/kb/solutiondetail?sol=SOL111222

      that has been tested and is fully working. - olgonzo 9 years ago
      • Hi Olgonzo - I actually had a level 1 tech work with me and we could not get this working.

        Anyhow - I am using a script posted by another user which works.

        Thanks
