Objective

In order to provide fast time to resolution for all support tickets we'd like our customers to provide the following information when a support case is opened.  We have found that with this information we can reduce time to resolution in some cases by days. 

• Email Structure
  • Email Subject - The email subject will become the support ticket name.  A subject format such as this will assist support engineers in finding your issue quickly:
    
  • <Customer_Company_Name> - <OMK Product> - <Brief Problem Description>
    
• Support Zip(s)
• Server Information
• Node Information
  

NMIS Cases

NMIS Support Zip

The NMIS support zip contains valuable information that will enable our support engineers to develop a solid vector on the problem.  Attaching this support zip to a new case will reduce time to resolution.  While running the tool it will recognize some common problems and prompt the user for action.

Gather a NMIS support zip as described here:  https://community.opmantek.com/x/sgdm

Examples NMIS support tool use cases:

### Typical case
[root@opmantek ~]# /usr/local/nmis8/admin/support.pl action=collect

### When log files are too big for the default zip size, try this option.
[root@opmantek ~]# /usr/local/nmis8/admin/support.pl action=collect maxzipsize=31457280

### If the problem is related to a specific node, focus the support tool on it.
[root@opmantek ~]# /usr/local/nmis8/admin/support.pl action=collect node=r1
