IMPORTANT – HOW TO CONTACT SPLUNK ON-CALL SUPPORT

IMPORTANT Splunk On-Call Support Changes

Thank you for being a valued Splunk customer. We are excited to share some enhancements to the Support Experience.

The Splunk On-Call (formerly VictorOps) Support contact page is moving to join the Splunk Support Portal.  You’ll receive the same world-class support from your Splunk On-Call Support Engineers. 

PLEASE NOTE:  This migration will NOT affect your login and access to your Splunk On-Call (formerly VictorOps) instance. On November 11th, end-users may contact Splunk On-Call Support via the following methods:

1.  Live Chat: If you are logged into your Splunk On-Call instance, you will have the ability to Live Chat with the Splunk On-Call Support team.

2.  Splunk Support Portal: You can open a Splunk On-Call support case in the Splunk Support Portal:https://login.splunk.com/

IMPORTANT CHANGES:  

1.  CREATE A SPLUNK LOGIN:  When accessing Splunk Support Portal for the first time, you will need to create a new Splunk login. It’s an easy process, and you can take that action now:

1. Visit the Splunk Support Portal 
2. Select “sign up”
3. Fill out the form on the far right under “Create Your Splunk Account”

2. CREATING A CASE:  Starting on November 11th, you must log in to the Splunk Support Portal to create a Splunk On-Call Support Case. You may also chat with Support from the new chat widget within our product. Live Chat with a Technical Support Engineer will open an On-Call Support case. 

• If you email Splunk On-Call Support after this change, you will receive an automated email pointing you towards the Splunk Support portal.
