Getting Help
Check out the FrequentlyAskedQuestions to see if your question has already been answered. Search is your friend.
If you do contact us, please include the following:
- Your DETER username
- Your project
- Your experiment (if applicable)
- Please include a link
- Link format is:
[experiment:pid:eid] (pid is project name, eid is experiment name)
- A description of the problem. Be as detailed as you can. The following are all helpful:
- What you typed or clicked, what you expected to happen as a result, and what did happen
- Any error messages or logs (verbatim errors are best)
- Which nodes in your experiment are having a problem (if applicable)
- If your problem is with an experiment, please leave a copy swapped in for us (disable idle swap)
There are a number of ways to get assistance.
- Create a trouble ticket.

- Fill in as much as possible (see above)
- The DETER staff is available for live chat in the IRC channel #DETER on irc.deterlab.net.
- Most active M-F 10 AM - 7 PM
- State your project, experiment and user name. If you do not provide these details, we will be unable to help you.
- We may not respond instantly. Be patient.
- We poll about once an hour
- So seriously, be patient
- If you are impatient, please file a ticket (see above).
- If you're having a problem with an experiment, be ready to supply the information above.
- If you do not have an IRC client installed we provide a web interface to the IRC channel.
