Time stamp for area change

Is there a time stamp stored each time the area is changed? I have looked
through the source, but have not had any luck tracking this down. Thanks
in advance for your help.

Yes, you can find when a ticket’s area has changed:

(example:)

/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql -u root -p rt

Password: ***********
mysql> SELECT * FROM transactions WHERE type = ‘area’ AND
actor = ‘apthorpe’
→ ;
| id | effective_sn | serial_num | actor | type | trans_data |
trans_date |
| 307 | 65 | 65 | apthorpe | area | DNS |
965692014 |
| 1287 | 58 | 58 | apthorpe | area | AU |
970524921 |
| 1314 | 284 | 284 | apthorpe | area | ES |
970593071 |
3 rows in set (0.01 sec)

The SQL query

SELECT * FROM transactions WHERE type = 'area'

will give you all fields of all transactions where the area was set or
changed; the trans_date field contains the serial time of the change
(seconds since Epoch, midnight 1/1/1970 GMT) which you can
reformat into a more pleasing date.

Look at the source of one of the report generators in the contrib
directory for examples of how to run your own queries against the
RT database.
