Request Tracker: Hacking Reports Update
A few months ago I wrote about some reports I needed to generate out of Request Tracker (RT).  After some months of using RT, I found that one of the scripts (rtTicketFirstResponse.pl) did not always output accurate data; sometimes, due to the conditions I had coded for selecting transactions, some tickets were not counted in the final tally.  After some debugging, I found that I simply needed to simplify the code.  Instead of looking for specific transactions, I modified the code to compare the 'Created' and 'Started' dates for the ticket.  Simple.

rtTicketFirstResponse.pl

#!/usr/bin/perl

#
# rtTicketFirstResponse.pl - query RT and generate a report on how long it took to respond to a request
