Having a hard time with the present tense for informative situations

English Language & Usage Asked on June 5, 2021

Ok imagine you’re somewhere to fix things(e.g. there is a ticket), and then you need to update the status that you fixed it, for example an IP(internet protocol), should I use present tense or past tense.

I think I should use the present tense.
in my case I have to let them know that I made an IP static, but the tricky part here is I don’t wanna use the "I" subject so I want it to be sound more passive.

"199.1.1.1 is made static!" <- it’s a fact and I am saying it!! I am not sure, I think this one is the correct way

Or

"199.1.1.1 was made static!" <- this means it was static but not anymore or we don’t know if it’s static anymore, if I am not wrong?!so this can’t be right!

or

"199.1.1.1 has been made static!" <- to my understanding this means this ip is made static at some point in the past, and it’s still static, correct me on this, I think it sounds off this one?!, I am so confused.
