Working with tickets in mKC Support

This article covers how to work with your tickets in mySupport. If you have not signed up for mySupport, see mKC Support signup first.

Opening a ticket

You can create a ticket in one of two ways:

• Email mkcsupport@meshiq.com.
• Submit a ticket online: Fill in this form. It's also available from your My requests page when you're logged in. Just click your Name at the top of the page and select My activities.  Then click the Submit a request link.
  

On the Submit a request page, do the following:

1. In the CC field enter the email addresses of individuals to whom you want to send a copy of the ticket.  Separate multiple addresses with commas. By default, these "copied" individuals receive email notifications whenever a public comment is added to the ticket and their names appear in the email address. (Any comment on a ticket by an end user or agent that is not an internal note is considered a public comment.)
2. Enter a Subject and a Description for your request.
3. Select a Type (Question, Incident, Problem, Task) and a Priority (Urgent, High, Normal, or Low). You can find descriptions of these types and priorities, including expected meshIQ response times, in our support policy document, available at https://www.meshiq.com/support-policy/. 
4. To help us identify the nature of your problem or question and to make sure your ticket is routed to the person who can best help you, choose a Category. Selections are General, Licensing, Kafka Console, Kafka Distribution, Professional Services, or Enhancement Request. You can find information about the flow process for enhancement requests in the support policy document (see link above).
5. (Optional.) Add the product Version that you have a question about, or with which you experienced the issue.
6. (Optional.) Add one or more attachments. Click Choose a file ... and navigate to a file (for example, a screen shot or log) to upload, or drag and drop files into the area provided.
   
7. Click Submit.
