What should I include in my Support ticket?

1. One of Support’s most useful tools is the MemSQL cluster report. If you are a customer running self-hosted MemSQL, generate and upload a MemSQL cluster report in your first submission to Support so that you provide Support with as much initial information as possible. For more information on how to do this, see Generating a Cluster Report.

2. Provide a detailed description of the issue and include all steps/actions which led you to the issue or error you have experienced. Error messages are helpful, but please also provide the actions you took when you encountered the error, if known.

3. Include screenshots if you believe they may be helpful to our support engineers.

4. Do not include passwords, login credentials or personally identifiable information.

How do I share files with MemSQL Support?

You may attach files as large as 20MB directly into the support ticket.

Please upload any files larger than 20 MB to a shared folder on services such as Google Drive, OneDrive or DropBox, and share the link with the support engineering team within your support ticket.

Additionally, customers may be granted FTP access to file share upon request. If this is the case, please use the credentials provided by the support engineer to upload necessary files.

When can I expect a response to my Support ticket?

Response time Service-Level Agreements (SLAs) for MemSQL Support vary based on your Support Tier and ticket severity level. Please refer to your MemSQL Agreement and our Support Terms and Conditions for details.

What does each ticket severity level mean?

• Urgent - Production Outage

  Use the Urgent priority when experiencing a severe problem preventing you from using your MemSQL cluster or causing downtime to your production systems.

• High - Production workload impaired with no workaround

  Use the High priority when you are able to use the database, but performance is severely degraded or limited from normal expectations.

• Normal - Moderate impact with workaround

  Use the Normal priority when you are having a development/test cluster performance issue or outage, your non-production workload is impaired, or are experiencing some behavior with minimal business impact.

• Low - General product questions, low impact issues

  Use the Low priority when you have general product questions, experience behavior you want to investigate further, or wish to submit a product feature request.

Why am I not getting emails from MemSQL Support?

Please ensure that the @memsql.com email domain is whitelisted as our ticketing system may use this domain for messaging.
