YouTrack Response Time SLA and Support Channels

We do our best to support everyone; however, priority is given to commercial customers and trial users. If the team has capacity, we’ll gladly provide support to free users too.

Don’t hesitate to contact us if you need any help. 

Response Time SLA

Our business hours are from 10 am to 6 pm CET, Mon-Fri. Our support team is located in the Netherlands, Germany, Serbia, and Cyprus.

For YouTrack Cloud, we have a 24/7 engineering monitoring team that takes care of the infrastructure. This allows us to resolve potential outages for YouTrack Cloud instances as quickly as possible.

Exceptions and Exclusions

  • These times are based on normal operating conditions. During high volume periods, such as major product launches or public holidays, response and resolution times may be longer.
  • Complex issues requiring extensive investigation may take longer to resolve - for example, if we need to involve developers after the preliminary research. In such cases, we will provide regular updates to keep you informed of progress.
  • For YouTrack Server installations, support is provided only with an active license, which is valid for one year after activation. After this period, you'll need to extend your license to continue receiving support and product fixes.

We value your feedback. Please let us know if our response times do not meet your expectations so we can continually improve our service.

 

Subscription and License Questions

We have a dedicated Sales team ready to address all your questions and issues regarding your license or subscription. Whether you want to extend or purchase a license, update license contacts or billing information, or find out details about your invoices, please don't hesitate to submit a ticket to our sales team.

Support Channels

Zendesk is our main support channel. For immediate attention to your problem, please make sure you submit a request to our support system.

Other Channels

Community Forum Feel free to ask questions or share your feedback. Please surf the forum for the topic you’re interested in before creating a new one.
X (former Twitter) Use the @YouTrack X (former Twitter) channel for quick questions. Please keep in mind that the response is limited to 280 symbols as well.
Issue Tracker This channel is mostly used for filing bugs and feature requests. The development team handles the issue tracker, so it cannot be considered as the main support channel. If you’re not sure whether it’s a bug or support request, please file a request, and we’ll turn it into a bug if required.
Blog You are welcome to post comments to blog posts. However, the blog is ruled by our Product Marketing team, so it’s more open to the How to? When? and Why? questions.

 

Provide Us with Data to Help Faster

To reduce the time we need to investigate the problem, please add the following data to your request:

  1. Product edition: Server or Cloud;
  2. For YouTrack Cloud, the name of the instance: <instance_name>.youtrack.cloud. To find your YouTrack Cloud address, simply look for the URL in your browser's address bar when you're using YouTrack.
  3. For YouTrack Server, distribution type: ZIP or Docker.
  4. Full product version, e.g., 2024.2.35942. When using several linked JetBrains products, don't hesitate to list them all. For YouTrack, you can find the version number under a question mark in the upper-right corner of any page in YouTrack
  5. Log files for YouTrack Server. Logs are especially useful when dealing with crashes, upgrade failures, performance degradation, or data loss. Please locate the logs following the instructions.
  6. Screencast, screenshots, or a list of steps to reproduce the issue will be appreciated. 

 

Please note that this SLA applies only to our main support channel in Zendesk. There is no SLA for issues created in youtrack.jetbrains.com, questions in the community forum, or other channels.

Hello. My YouTrack Cloud account is completely broken. Can't do anything. My support request was created 11 days ago and still has no response at all. Additional issues got just closed and merged to the original one.

https://sales.jetbrains.com/hc/en-gb/requests/6693765

SLA for this type of issue is 1 day.

How do I escalate?

Why then these tickets are not available for me? How I am supposed to track the ticket status if my tickets are disappearing and not available for me? Look like a bug
