Support

Welcome to CheckSec's support site! Here you'll find information that will help you get the most from CheckSec's products.

Support overview

  1. If you have a premium/enterprise support agreement and the issue is critical/severe, you should escalate to your primary or secondary contact once the issue has been logged (via the ticketing system).
  2. CheckSec Support will review and triage the issue, with responses given within the agreed support response times.
    1. Further information may be requested, such as logs files, browser debug data, etc.. 
    2. In the scenario of more complex issues, a remote debugging may be suggested (if possible) using a suitable video conferencing and screen sharing application.
  3. A resolution (workaround or hotfix) will be provided within the agreed response time.

A hotfix is an interim software update that is provided to address a specific issue, and does not require updating the full environment. These types of patches are usually less impacting than a full upgrade between releases.

All Canopy related log files are stored under the following locations

Canopy 3.1+: canopy 3.1.x switched to using the journal system from systemd:

sudo journalctl -u canopy | canopy-celery | canopy-docserver

Canopy 3.0: canopy 3.0.x aggregates all application logs to supervisor:

/var/log/supervisor


Other useful logs, e.g. webserver (nginx / apache) or database (PostgreSQL / Oracle) are managed separately to Canopy and are vendor/environment specific.

These may be requested from time to time for debugging purposes.
