Second level support of the community platforms deployed in EGI is part of the EGI support service delivered through GGUS.
Introduction
EGI provides support to users and operators through a distributed helpdesk with central coordination (GGUS). The central helpdesk provides a single interface for support.
Technical description
Software-related tickets that reach the second level of support are analysed and if necessary are forwarded to 3rd line support units only when there are clear indications of a defect (in software, documentation, etc.). The involved partners provide a pool of experts available for deep analysis and solving the reported issues. This function includes the production of HOWTOs and document known issues of deployed software, and collaboration with operations in case of critical incidents.
This service includes 2nd level technical support in the following areas. Additional products may require in the future 2nd level support according to user demand, the needs of the Federated Cloud and the future NGI deployment plans.
