Session table growing

Hello everyone,
I was recently browsing through my databases and spied that the RT
session table has grown to 10 meg. I was wondering what is stored in
this table as i thought session data would be cleared at some point.
(oldest entries seem to be over a year old, about when we started
using RT). My question is: is it safe to just delete everything that
has not been updated in a month or so?

Yeah, it’s save, you can even put script like
Request Tracker Wiki into your crontab.

Sessions table is used internally by Apache. I have recently deleted
all sessions entries older than a month, I feel that it is a safe thing
to do - the change had no effect on my instance of RT.
It’d be a good practice to include sessions table cleaning routine into
one of your regular maintenance scripts.

I am somewhat new to Linux so would need some help on setting this up.
We currently use MS Exchange as our mail/groupwise program w/ Active
Directory. I have some Copiers w/ the scan → email function that uses
my smtp server on my exchange server to send emails to people inside my
organization. I would like to do the same thing w/ RT. Bounce emails
off my exchange servers smtp server. How can I do that?

Thanks in advance

More details are needed.

  1. What version and flavor of Linux are you running?
  2. Do you have a working email server program installed on your current
    Linux server? (if so, you just need to tell it where to send all the
    messages-- ie, to the exchange server.)

I am inserting jobs in to a queue using rt-mailgate by a php script sending
email

however, different jobs require different priority, am i able to set the
priority on a job by job basis from the email, or can i make a different
alias for each job type and point them to a different mailgate command to
set the priority?

thanks

I would want all our autogenerated/unprivileged users to see and
search all tickets in the system. I’ve tried adding all privileges to
the “Everyone” group, but the users still can’t see any other tickets
than their own (unless typing in the ticket number directly in the
GotoTicket box).

Are you using the SelfService interface? I’m not sure it does that.

However when a non-privelaged user that I have created logs in and
attempts to create a new ticket they get the CreateTicketInQueue.html
page up and are asked to “select a queue for your new ticket”. However
there is no place for them to do this.

I believe that would normally be a pulldown list of allowed
queues. Does Everyone of Unprivledged have create ticket rights in any
queues?

Is there any other way to export data from the RT (3.0.11)? Maybe a
perl script or other reporting utilities?

Yes, you can right a perl script around the api to spit back csv, or
whatever you want. the command line interface might also be able to do
what you want.

Hello RT community,

is there any way to include the ticket number from a “CreateTicket”
action into the template of the CreateTicket?

E.g. I want to include the string

please reply with the subject “[RT-name #12345]”

in the ticket created through “===Create-Ticket: Inform”, with 12345 the
number of the just created ticket. This will then be sent automatically
(On Create Notify Requester with Template Global: Correspond).

If I put {$Ticket->id} into the template, it will give the number of the
ticket this is run from. {$Tickets{‘TOP’}->id} gives the same number
(this is the correct way to get the number of the creating ticket after
all). {$Tickets{‘Inform’}->id} is not yet defined.

What else to use?

Best regards,

Ruediger Riediger

Yes, when logging in as unprivileged user, one is dropped into the
SelfService interface… Is this configurable? Are there any other
interfaces suitable for the unprivileged users?

Ah. I’m not sure, but I suspect not. Why not just create them privledged?
