[Rancher] How do I change severity level on an open case?
This document (000020296) is provided subject to the disclaimer at the end of this document.
Situation
I have reviewed the severity levels listed below and I would now like to know how I can change the severity level of an open case myself.
| Severity | Description |
|---|---|
| Sev 1 (Critical) | The solution is in production or is mission-critical to your business. It is inoperable, and the situation is resulting in a total disruption of work. There is no workaround available. |
| Sev 2 (High) | Operations are severely restricted, but work can continue. Core functionalities can operate in a restricted fashion despite important features being unavailable. A workaround is available that ensures no immediate business impact. |
| Sev3 (Medium) | The solution does not work as designed, resulting in a minor loss of usage. It may also be a significant software defect that impacts the Customer when performing some actions and has no workaround. |
| Sev 4 (Low) | There is no loss of service, and this may be a request for documentation, general information, product enhancement request, Software defects with workarounds or medium or low functionality impact, etc. |
Resolution
During the creation of a support case, you may select the severity of the support case via the drop-down menu. The creation of a Sev1 or a Sev2 support case will trigger our escalation workflows. If during the life of your support case the initial severity is no longer accurate, you may post a new comment with the string bump_to_sev1 or bump_to_sev2 to escalate a ticket to higher severity. This string can be stand-alone as a comment or can be a part of a sentence. There is no need for any special characters (such as " " or * *).
During the life of the case, you can also recategorize it to sev3 or sev4 by using bump_to_sev3 or bump_to_sev4. Using these bump_to_ strings for sev1 and sev2 will trigger our escalation workflows, where sev3 and sev4 will update the severity with no escalation workflows.
