What's included in the email

Ticket Activity summary - This section provides key information about the ticket activity in your account. Also included is a list of scheduled scans that have not yet been processed. Results from scheduled scans are processed when a user logs into the service.

Total Ticket summary - This section includes the total number of tickets in each ticket state along with trend information. MoreMore

Trend information (in parentheses) is expressed as a value representing the ticket state difference, and a symbol identifying the trend direction. The service first calculates the total number of tickets in each state at the time of the current trouble ticket update and subtracts the total number of tickets in each state at the time of the previous trouble ticket update. So the Closed total trend is the total number of your Closed tickets at the time of the current notification minus the total number of your Closed tickets at the time of the previous notification.

Tickets modified since previous day - This section identifies tickets modified since the previous day (the previous time you received a notification), organized by current ticket state. MoreMore

Ticket states:

  1. Open/New tickets are tickets created since the previous trouble ticket update.
  2. Open/Overdue tickets are tickets that have become overdue since the previous trouble ticket update.
  3. Resolved tickets are tickets that were marked Resolved sometime after the previous trouble ticket update.
  4. Closed tickets are tickets that changed to Ignored (Closed/Ignored) or Fixed (Closed/Fixed) sometime after the previous trouble ticket update. Note that tickets changing between these two states are counted.

It's important to note that the service reports on your tickets resolved since the previous day, not on your tickets resolved in the current day. This means it's possible for tickets to be resolved on one day, reported as resolved in this day's trouble ticket update, and then reopened and resolved again on the next day, causing the same tickets to be reported as resolved again in the next day's trouble ticket update. In the 2nd day's update, tickets are reported as resolved in both the total tickets summary and in the tickets modified since the previous day section.

The trend information in the trouble ticket update notification is intended to give you highlights of changes to your network security. It is recommended that you use the service's reporting features, including predefined reports and customizable report templates, to obtain more detailed and actionable trend information on your vulnerabilities and remediation progress.
