Technical Support Overview

LogicMonitor is committed to offering the best service for our customers which includes not only continuous platform updates but also world-class support.

This article highlights the primary components of LogicMonitor’s customer support program, including support packages, communication channels, and issue severity levels. For more details support features and other aspects of the support program that are not covered here, see the LogicMonitor Technical Support Overview PDF.

Support Packages

LogicMonitor offers four support packages (Basic, Enhanced, Premier, and Concierge) to meet your organization’s unique needs. The following table provides an overview of the features included with each package.

Support Features Descriptions

Self Help Resources

You have access to a library of extensive product documentation that gives you insight into all of our product features, step-by-step configuration guidance, best practices for using the platform, and API Developer guides. For more information on our product documentation, see LogicMonitor’s Support Center.

Support Portal

You can access Support directly from their LogicMonitor account, but in the event, you are unable to access their account, LogicMonitor has a Support Portal available where you can create new tickets, manage previously submitted support requests, or view support requests submitted by other users in your organization. For more information on our product documentation, see the Support Center. 

Account Familiarity

A Customer Success Manager and Premier Support Engineer will schedule an Account Familiarity session with you to capture details about your LogicMonitor account. Information gathered from this session, as well as ongoing support interactions, will be noted in our internal customer knowledge base that help our Premier Support team members develop an understanding of the nuances of your accounts, customizations, or any challenges may have been encountered in the past which can be used to help reduce the resolution time of future support requests. The following information is captured in the initial session:

• Identify Named Contacts – Identify your 4 named contacts who will be authorized to make inbound phone calls to the Support teams. Named contacts must be LogicMonitor Certified Professionals with administrative access to the account. 
• Document Account Details– An important part of our Premier and Concierge account management is to gather information relative to your LogicMonitor environment so that our team becomes more knowledgeable about your account, usage pattern, and other specific configuration settings that will help us provide higher-quality support moving forward. Details to be noted include any solutions that have been purchased through Professional Services, integrations in use, critical customizations to the account, collector deployment caveats, and other pertinent information Support should be made cognizant of.
• Open Case Review – A review of any open or long-standing issues impacting Premier and Concierge customers will be conducted. Any existing open support cases opened with our Standard Support team will be transferred over to Premier Support Engineers for on-going ownership and resolution. 
• Review Support Channels and Processes – A review of current processes for contacting support relevant to Premier Support customers including: Chat Channel, Inbound Phone Calls, Ticket Portal, Escalations, scheduling, and after-hours availability. 

Dedicated Support Channels 

You have dedicated communication channels that route your requests directly to the Premier Support team 24×5. To maintain 24×7 availability, Premier Support requests made outside of the hours of Premier Support team availability will be routed to the Standard Support channels at a higher priority for assistance. If the request is urgent in nature, the Standard Support team will be capable of escalating Premier Support requests to the On-Call Premier Support Engineer.  

Support Team

• Standard – Each member of the LogicMonitor Standard Support team has completed our 12 Week on-boarding training program, is a LogicMonitor Certified Professional, and is on a continuous training plan towards becoming a Subject Matter Expert in multiple areas of LogicMonitor or the underlying technologies that the product uses. 
• Premier – The Premier Support team is a dedicated group of Senior Technical Support Engineers (TSE) with an extensive background in supporting the LogicMonitor platform and a proven track record for handling complex requests while maintaining the highest customer satisfaction. Members of the Premier Support team have also received advanced training outside the scope of standard support that enables them to better handle our customer’s complex requests promptly. 

Health Check 

Health Checks are an assessment of your account to provide actionable recommendations for improving LogicMonitor configuration and feature usage. Health checks are a great preventive tool for identifying misconfigurations or inefficiencies within your account that could lead to potential interruptions or missed notifications. Health Checks cover the following focus areas:

• Alert Settings
• Alert Volume
• Collectors
• Dashboards
• Devices
• Integrations
• LogicModules
• Reports
• User Access
• Websites

Health Check Remediation Assistance 

You have the option to get Remediation Assistance on recommendations identified during the Health Check assessment. Premier Support customers may schedule up to (three) 2-hour working sessions/per quarter with a Premier Support Engineer who can advise on best practices and aid with the remediation of flagged focus areas (adjusting alert thresholds on noisy alerts or collector load balancing strategy). Concierge customers can address additional items through their Concierge agreement and opt to have Premier Support Engineers remediate items within their LogicMonitor account. 

Pro-Active Support 

For our Premier and Concierge customers, we offer the option to Opt-In to Pro-Active Support, in which your accounts are monitored for significant changes and other activities that might be beneficial for administrators to be aware of. LogicMonitor Premier Support Engineers will do regular checks on a set of predefined items for your accounts. If any concerns are identified, a support ticket will be opened on your behalf to highlight the concern with options to assist with resolving it. Examples of items to be monitored include, but are not limited to:

• Spikes in alert activity across the account
• Increased number of dead collectors within the account
• Significant variances in the number of resources within the account
• Outdated Core LogicModules in use
• No Data being collected on critical devices
• Checks for Known Bugs impacting customer accounts

Administrative Task On-Demand 

You can request Support engineers assigned to your account to deliver Administrative Tasks On-Demand within your LogicMonitor environment.  Administrative tasks and services include configuration, modification, and management of your LogicMonitor account. This can include day-to-day operations, enablement of core LogicMonitor functionality, and additional growth and refinement types of activities within the account. Additionally, our engineers will conduct regular evaluations of the LogicMonitor account to identify areas of the product that are not configured according to best practices or are areas of concern, as well as remediation of identified deficiencies. 

Examples of Administrative Tasks On-Demand available in Concierge include:

• Adding Resources
• Creating Resource Groups
• Alert Threshold Tuning
• Dashboard Creation
• Configuration of LM Alerting Integrations
• Creating or modifying Alert Rules and Escalation Chains
• Collector Upgrades and Tuning
• and much more!

50 PS Development Hours Annually 

You get up to 50 Professional Services Development hours annually that can be utilized for the development of custom solutions*.

Examples of custom solutions that can be developed within the available hours include:

• Custom Device Monitoring (LogicModules)
• Automation Scripts
• Custom Alerting Integrations
• Advanced Dashboard Creation

Communication Channels

LogicMonitor supports several channels for communication between customers and support engineers.

Chat

Chat is the primary communication channel for customers on a paid Support package and is accessed via the “Chat with an Engineer” option located under the Support menu within the LogicMonitor account. LogicMonitor has recognized online chat to be the most effective channel for troubleshooting customer issues; allowing LogicMonitor Technical Support Engineers (TSEs) to work real time with our customers while being able to share artifacts that make the troubleshooting process more efficient. Artifacts such as screenshots, log files, code snippets, etc., can all be uploaded and shared real time within the chat interface; resulting in a faster resolution. Requests for support via chat are handled on a first-come-first-serve basis, however, wait times are typically less than 5 minutes.

Support Ticket

Support tickets can be created by customers on all Support packages from within their LogicMonitor accounts or at the LogicMonitor Support Portal. In the event of a Service Disruption, in which customers cannot access their account, support tickets can still be submitted through the Support Portal. Urgent priority tickets are managed at the highest priority over any other communication channel (chat, phone, other ticket priorities), and should be reserved for items that are severely impacting customers’ accounts. To help us resolve requests in a timely manner, customers should provide as many details as possible about their request, including specific examples of target areas to investigate or attaching any relevant screenshots and log files.

Screen Share (Outbound)

LogicMonitor Support utilizes screen shares to work with our customers on requests that are sometimes best handled outside of text format or need a more guided approach.  Customers on a Paid Support package may request an outbound screen share with LogicMonitor Technical Support Engineers (TSEs) once they have reached out to coordinate via one of our other communication channels (Chat or Support Ticket) and have provided a summary of the issue. 

Phone call (Inbound)

Inbound phone calls to Support are available only to customers on Premier or Concierge support packages. Premier Support customers will receive a phone number to contact LogicMonitor Support, which can be used by authorized named contacts identified during the Account Familiarity process. 

Status Page

LogicMonitor maintains an external Systems Status Page to keep customers informed of service disruptions. It is highly recommended that our customers subscribe to our status page so that they are notified as soon as possible when LogicMonitor is experiencing technical difficulties. Initial updates are posted as soon as issues are identified and updates will be provided throughout the Service Disruption until resolution.

Issue Severity Levels

LogicMonitor is committed to providing outstanding, responsive Support and will make reasonable efforts to meet the target initial response time for the applicable severity or priority levels. Initial responses provided will be meaningful and related to the inbound support request. Response times are for initial response and acknowledgement of inbound requests; they are not meant to imply time to resolve the request. As highlighted in the following table, issues are assigned one of four severity levels.

Premier Support Team Availability

You will have direct access to the Premier Support team 24×5, excluding LM company holidays per region. Outside these hours of availability, when the Premier Support team is not available, Premier Support customer requests are handled by the Standard support team. 24×5 coverage begins every Sunday at 07:00PM CST and closes every Friday at 06:59PM CST (Monday 12:00AM to Friday 11:59PM UTC).
