Support

Use Support when an issue needs structured evidence, not guesswork. Good support data shortens outages and prevents risky emergency changes that bypass security controls. The Application Eco-system source highlights server files, folders, startup parameters, supporting services, and log forwarding. Those are the first evidence areas to collect before escalation.

Evidence to collect

  • SafeSquid version and activation state
  • affected user, source IP, destination, and time window
  • relevant Reports entries or SIEM events
  • service health for SafeSquid, Monit, BIND, and NTP
  • recent configuration changes from config.log
  • startup parameters and service unit state

Escalation checks

Before escalating, confirm:
  1. The issue is reproducible or bounded to a clear time window.
  2. Local logs show the same result users report.
  3. Supporting services are healthy.
  4. A rollback option exists for recent policy changes.
