FAQ

Q: Is it accurate to state that tickets generated by the remote monitor are automatically closed upon the resolution of the identified issue?
A: Affirmative, tickets are configured to be automatically closed subsequent to the resolution of the associated issue. However, it’s important to note that if there are any modifications to the monitor set’s configuration during the interval between the generation of the ticket and the resolution of the issue, the auto-closure of tickets will not be executed.
