GLU.Ware Support Process

Contacting Support

The GLU Support Team is contactable through its GLU.Ware Support Desk. This allows for the formal tracking of Support Tickets from logging to resolution for management and SLA compliance purposes. All Support Requests MUST be logged in the GLU.Ware Service Desk. The GLU.Ware Service Desk is accessible here. GLU.Ware Trained Users have been registered on the GLU.Ware Service Desk. Additional Users can be registered on request – please raise a Technical Support ticket for additional Users to be registered to be able to create GLU.Ware Support Tickets.

Logging a Ticket

From the landing page, select the type of Ticket to be logged:

  • All GLU.Console and GLU.Engine Software Errors should be raised using the Report a Bug ticket type;
  • All Configuration Support Requests, New User Requests, Deployment Queries, Usability Queries, etc. should be logged using the Technical Support ticket type;
  • New GLU.Ware Feature requests or suggestions can be logged using the Suggest a Feature ticket type; and
  • Any broader suggestions to improve our way of working can be logged using the Suggest Improvement ticket type.

‘Report a Bug’ Ticket Type Request Process

Once you click on the Report a Bug Ticket Type you will be presented with the following screen:

Please complete the Ticket Fields as follows:

  • Summary (Compulsory): Please provide a clear summary of the observed error e.g. ‘Add Environment Button is not working’ or ‘Handler not working on Duplicated flow’.
  • Description (Compulsory): Please use the description to add as much detail as possible such as details of the nature of this Issue, steps taken to recreate the issue, transaction identifiers or timestamps that would help GLU to identify the root cause of any issue in the logs.

  • Attachment (Optional): Where applicable, please attach the gluware.log (created in the deployment directory of the GLU Engine).

Please note this priority selection is indicative only, the final priority will be set by the GLU.Ware Support team. Should the GLU.Ware priority be different from your selected priority, the GLU.Ware support team will notify you of the change and the reasoning behind the change.
    • If the ticket is Critical, please add some context for the escalation to help justify prioritisation of the ticket.
