michaely 9.1 9 This article outlines the procedure for reporting issues you experience with iSymphony, along with information that is required for our support staff to troubleshot issues effectively. When reporting issues, providing as much information as possible can expedite issue resolution.
10
michaely 1.1 11 = Creating Tickets =
12
13 All bug reports and issues should be reported via our [[Ticket System>>url:http://www.getisymphony.com/support||shape="rect"]].
14
15 = Description =
16
17 Make sure to include a detailed description of the bug/issue and what you were doing to cause it. Also include the time the bug occurred if possible. Be as detailed as possible.
18
michaely 9.1 19 = Transferring Files =
michaely 1.1 20
michaely 9.1 21 In most cases, support representatives will require files from your server in order to troubleshoot issues. You can utilize SCP to download the files onto your personal machine. Once the files are on your personal machine, you can attach them in a new ticket or in a reply to an existing ticket.
22
23 {{info}}
24 Using SCP requires that you know the SSH login credentials for the server.
25 {{/info}}
26
27 == Windows ==
28
29 To download files, via SCP, to a Windows machine, you can utilize the free application WinSCP ([[http:~~/~~/winscp.net/>>url:http://winscp.net/||shape="rect"]])
30
31 == Linux/OS X ==
32
33 To download files, via SCP, to a Linux or OS X machine, you can utilize the "scp" command.
34
35 {{code}}
36 scp <ssh username>@<ip of server>:<path of file to download> <local file destination path>
37 {{/code}}
38
39 For Example, the following command will download the file /root/islogs.tar.gz from the server at 192.168.1.1, to the /home/mike/Downloads directory on your local machine.
40
41 {{code}}
42 scp root@192.168.1.1:/root/islogs.tar.gz /home/mike/Downloads
43 {{/code}}
44
45 Once executed, the command will prompt you for the root user password.
46
47 = Support Packages =
48
michaely 11.1 49 iSymphony now allows administrators to create support packages which contain useful information about the system. These packages are used by our support team to expedite the troubleshooting process. Creating a support package is easy, and can be done from the Administration Interface or the server command line.
michaely 9.1 50
51 {{note}}
michaely 10.1 52 The ability to create support packages is only available in iSymphony 3.3+. If you are using a version of iSymphony prior to 3.3, see the [[Manual Collection>>doc:||anchor="Manual Collection"]]section below.
michaely 9.1 53 {{/note}}
54
55 == Creating Support Packages from the Administration Interface ==
56
57 iSymphony provides an easy to use interface that allows administrators to create, and download, support packages directly from the Administration interface.
58
59 {{note}}
michaely 11.1 60 If you cannot access the Administration interface, due to issues with the application, see [[Creating Support Packages from the Command Line>>doc:||anchor="Creating Support Packages from the Command Line"]]below
michaely 9.1 61 {{/note}}
62
63 1. Log into the Administration Interface. See [[doc:Connecting to the Administration Interface]].
64 1. (((
65 Select **Global Configuration** at the top right hand corner of the Administration Interface.

70 )))
michaely 12.1 71 1. Under **Create Support Package**, select the information you wish to be included in the package. The default selection is usually sufficient. See [[Package Options>>doc:||anchor="Package Options"]] below for more detail on what each option includes in the package.
michaely 9.1 72 1. Click **Create**.
michaely 12.1 73 1. Once the package has been created you can use the **Download** button to download the package to your system, and attach it to a support ticket.
michaely 9.1 74
75 == Creating Support Packages from the Command Line ==
76
77 If you are unable to access the Administration Interface, you can create support packages from the server command line by executing the **support.sh** script. You can specify several parameters to tell the script which pieces of information to include in the package.
78
79 1. Log into the server via SSH or a terminal.
80 1. (((
81 Run the following command:
82
83 {{code language="bash"}}
84 /opt/isymphony3/server/support.sh
85 {{/code}}
86
87 {{info}}
michaely 11.1 88 The above command will package all information. If you wish to specify the information that is included in the package you can use the flags specified in the [[Package Options>>doc:||anchor="Package Options"]]section below.
michaely 9.1 89 {{/info}}
90 )))
91 1. (((
92 Once the script has generated the package it can be found in the following directory on the server:
93
94 {{code}}
95 /opt/isymphony3/server/support
96 {{/code}}
97
michaely 12.1 98 You will need to download the file from the server to your machine. See [[Transferring Files>>doc:||anchor="Transferring Files"]]above.

204
205 == Logs ==
206
michaely 1.1 207 Include all log files from **/opt/isymphony3/server/log** in the ticket. You can make a archive of the logs via the following command.

michaely 5.1 214
michaely 9.1 215 In many cases it is useful for our support team to know details of the hardware, OS, and JRE used to run iSymphony.
michaely 5.1 216
michaely 9.1 217 === Operating System Details ===
michaely 5.1 218
219 You can acquire basic OS information by running the following command on your server's command line:

222 uname -a
223 {{/code}}
224
michaely 9.1 225 === Hardware Details ===

michaely 1.1 245 = Extra Information For UI Issues =
246
247 If you encounter a bug/issue with display in the client or administrator (i.e. UI not drawing correctly, phone state not showing what it should, ect.) Try the following steps to attempt to correct it. Please included which step, if any, resolved the issue in your issue report. This will give us a general idea of where the issue exists in the Application.
248
249 1. First try a refresh of the page to see if that corrects the issue.
250 1. (((
251 If the refresh does not work try a restart of the client application by appending **?restartApplication** to the end of the URL and hitting enter.
252
253 {{info}}
254 Remove the **?restartApplication** from the URL once you have used it or else subsequent page refreshing will restart the application.
255 {{/info}}
256 )))
257 1. If a refresh and a client application restart does not fix the issue try a restart of the iSymphony server.
258
259 = Extra Information For FreePBX Module Issues =
260
261 If you are using the iSymphony FreePBX Module and you are having issues with configuration syncing between the iSymphony FreePBX Module and the iSymphony Server you will want to add the module debug information to your ticket. See [[doc:FreePBX Module Administration]] for more information on how to acquire the module debug contents.
