Work-ticket lock incident

Unnamed: an IT services business using a multi-company agent setup · workflow agent

What happened
Seven notification emails created seven work tickets in a multi-company agent setup. According to a later comment on the issue from a second operator, an agent processed one ticket while stale run locks left the other six unable to resume through the application.
Impact
Six tickets needed manual intervention outside the application (reported). Customer impact was not reported.
What would have caught it
Alert on queued tickets whose run has stopped reporting progress. Expire stale locks so another agent or a person can resume the work.
