Contacting MNX support
MNX offers several levels of support.
Information needed when contacting Support
When contacting MNX support it is very helpful that you have the following information available.
This information is vital for MNX engineers to assist you quickly.

We need to know which system you are having an issue with.
Please make sure you give us the IP, hostname, and/or UUID of your system so that we can log into it. Read the directions on how to get your instance IP address.
Description of the issue
Give as many details as possible to describe the issue you are having with your instance or system. This information could include what services are not working and exactly what steps you have taken to accomplish your goals. The more information the better.
For example:
Webserver for www.foo.com is not serving pages, and I am unable to ping the IP ( 123.456.123.456 ) from my home office workstation. I am accessing this webserver on macOS Sierra from Safari.
Changes made to your system
Please let us know if you have made any changes to your system prior to system failure. This can include package updates, new version of application code, changes to configuration files, and anything else that may have changed.
Monitoring information
We highly recommend setting up a monitoring and alerting system for your application and servers. Not only does monitoring assist you with capacity planning, but when issues happen, you can provide MNX support with access to your monitoring so that we can quickly assist you.
Send screen captures of the alerts that you receive from your systems.
