Camunda Support Guide
This guide is intended to help you get the support you need quickly and conveniently.
This document includes information about contacting technical support, description of response times, and online resources.
How to Create a Support Issue
Based on the agreed SLA (Service Level Agreement), you can contact our support service with your questions, wishes and problems. To create a new support issue, follow the instructions below. To shorten the processing time, please provide us with as much information as possible.
- Go to our JIRA support system
- Select Camunda Support
- Choose the desired issue type.
- Provide a meaningful summary to the ticket.
- You can assign a priority to your ticket, depending on the impact an issue causes on your system.
- Provide us with a date in case of important deadlines that need to be reached.
- Enter a detailed description of your issue. Use the provided template in the description field (Steps to reproduce, Problem, Expected behavior, etc.).
- Attachments like screenshots, log files, stack traces or BPMN files help us to find and reproduce your bug faster. If possible provide log files and stack traces as plain text file.
- For bug reports and help requests, it is important to know which environment you use. Inform us about the used Camunda version, application server, database and everything else that seems to be important for your issue.
Issue Types
We categorize issues into three distinct types:
| Issue Type | Description | Important Notes |
|---|---|---|
Bug Report | File a Bug Report if a feature of the system doesn’t work properly. | Do not file Feature Requests as Bug Reports, even if you think that it is a really vital feature without which the product seems unusable. |
Help Request | File any questions you have that are unrelated to Bug Reports or Feature Requests as Help Requests. |
Self-Service Help Request
Apart from general help requests, we have four types of self-service help requests. The following self-service requests allow you to receive and change information faster. Select the Help Request Type and allow the Description to autopopulate then submit the ticket.
| Help Request Type | Description |
|---|---|
| I need the Camunda Hotline information | This will provide you the Camunda Hotline number. |
| I need my Camunda license key | This will provide your organization’s Camunda license key. |
| I need the credentials for downloading Camunda | This will provide your account credentials for downloading Camunda. |
| I want to reset the company account password (Camunda download credentials) | This will guide you through the process of changing the password for your company account. |
Feature Request
Feature Requests are managed in the Product Roadmap Portal. To learn more about our roadmap, to vote for features, and to submit missing feature requests click here.
Please add some information about your use case and why the feature is important to you. Once submitted, you’ll receive email updates as Product Management makes progress on the feature.
Priority Level
You can prioritize issues depending on the impact of an issue on your system.
| Priority Level | Description | Important Notes |
|---|---|---|
L1 Core Components down / in production use blocked | Total failure of the core components of the contract software (specifically process engine) or occurrence of errors that make useability in the current productive operation impossible. | Production mode only! Bug Reports, Help Requests |
L2 Major Error – other Components down | Use of the contractual software greatly restricted, troubleshooting urgently needed. | Bug Reports, Help Requests |
L3 Support Request – minimal impact | Less critical errors, help requests. | Bug Reports, Help Requests |
