Good evening
We recently had an incident where once it got Closed, ..... 4 days later, the SLA got Stopped. It can be seen under Stop time column.
Do you know why this could have happened? I even checked the SLA definition, but nothing found. You can see the dates. On 21st, it got closed, but SLA stopped on 25th.
Please help.

Hi @AbdurRahmanSnow 

Stop condition is mentioned as "Active = false" so when state was closed, active field did not change to false and on 25th it changes to false that's why SLA got stopped.

You can find the history of active field and check the changes.

 

Let me know your findings.

Hi @AbdurRahmanSnow 

Your condition looks good, but one suggestion: instead of using Active = false, it’s better to add the State = Closed condition in the SLA stop criteria.

Also, it’s not that simple because this issue happens only with one instance. If there are multiple cases, we might need to analyze patterns to identify the root cause.

 

Did you try to repair the SLA once?

@AbdurRahmanSnow 

did you check when the active field was marked as false as that's the STOP condition for SLA
