We’re obsessed with our customers so we’re always looking for ways to improve their experience and add value. We’re excited to bring you with us as we modernize the technical support experience by migrating to a new Support platform! 

Beginning September 14, 2024, LogicMonitor customers will be able to utilize new features designed to improve account security and provide the ability to access support channels outside of the LogicMonitor platform, ensuring access when our customers need it most. You can access the Support Portal within LogicMonitor via the support button or this url, support.logicmonitor.com.

Watch the video for an overview and read on for critical information, including step-by-step instructions on creating your support user account.

Here’s What You Need To Know:

  • Customers will experience a temporary Support freeze from September 13th 5pm PT to September 14th 1am PT. If you have difficulties during this time, please email help.customersuccess@logicmonitor.com. The LogicMonitor team will be on standby to help.
  • Existing users of Support will need to activate their new Support account. 
  • New users will need to create a new support account to access Support channels. 

How to Access your new Support Portal:

If you are not associated with your company, once registered, reach out to help.customersuccess@logicmonitor.com to have our Customer Success team contact you and properly associate your Support account to your company. 

Navigating the Support Portal

Search Bar: This field will allow you to search for information within your cases, specific case titles, and case numbers. 

Support Center: Click here to access LogicMonitor’s Support Center where you can read through our vast Knowledge-Based Support Articles, view our Status page, sign up for Live Training, and review our Release Notes. 

LM Academy: Click here to browse through LogicMonitor’s collection of training materials to accompany the Support articles and train up for one of our Certifications. Ask your CSMs for more information about our various Certifications.

Submit a Billing Request: You can submit a billing request easily. You will be prompted to enter a Subject and Description of your billing request. Then click “Next” to add any relevant attachments. Finally, click “Submit Request” to generate a ticket, and one of our Billing Team members will be able to assist you further. 

Get Support: You can access our GenAI Chatbot and receive support quickly. You can ask questions relating to the LogicMonitor Platform and our GenAI Chatbot will assist you and provide contextual responses. In addition, the GenAI Chatbot will also allow you to submit email tickets if you need further support from our Technical Support Engineers. Depending on your Support Level, you can also ask to chat with a Support Engineer, and the GenAI Chatbot will review the status of our Engineers and route you accordingly. 

Chat with a Live Agent (Premier Support): If you are a Premier Support customer, this button will allow you to transfer directly to the Premier Support team. 

 



My Requests: This section of the Experience Portal will house all of your support requests as well as those that you are CC’d on. Once you have submitted your first request, you will receive email confirmation as well as an entry in this list view. Clicking on any support request in the Experience Portal will allow you to view the transcript, attach relevant documents/files, as well as send messages in regard to the case. If you currently have support tickets open prior to the migration, you should be able to view them under My Requests. If you do not see them, please contact your Customer Success Manager (CSM). 

Interacting with our GenAI Chatbot

Knowledge Base: Our GenAI Chatbot references LogicMonitor’s Support Articles found here. When asking questions related to the product, the GenAI Chatbot will attempt to find the relevant support article as well as respond to the initial question with the given context. 

Responses: Our GenAI Chatbot, currently, leverages single-turn conversations. In order to best use the Chatbot, it’s recommended to ask single specific questions relevant to aspects of the LogicMonitor platform. Each response will ask whether the information provided answered your question effectively and you can classify the response with a thumbs up or down. If the response was not effective at answering your question, you will be prompted to provide feedback. LogicMonitor takes these feedback responses and collects them for improvements to the chatbot experience.

Managing Support Requests 

Share an Update: Use this field to respond, add more information, or receive updates for your Support requests. You can @mention participants in the request and add files within this field. Clicking “Share” will send the response to all participants within the request. 

I Need to Escalate This Case: After your request has been opened for more than 24 hrs, you will have the option to escalate the request. You will be required to fill out the reason for the escalation and once submitted, our Support Team management along with our Success Managers will review the escalation and take appropriate action. 

Request Feed: Within the request feed, you will be able to view the transcript as well as all updates from the LogicMonitor Teams. Additionally, you’ll be able to sort all the updates by “Latest Post, Most Recent Activity, and Oldest Post”

Contacting Support With Issues Regarding the Support Platform Migration

If you are experiencing support issues such as missing tickets or requests, please contact your Customer Success Manager for further assistance.

  • I had to use the "new an improved" support site yesterday and it's a 100% a step backwards. Its not at all better than the old site. I want to be able to open cases thru email so I can include all the details, screen shots easily and email support @ lm dot com. Why did you block that option? I can't even open cases manually. I only open cases that I know are valid cases and are not the basic 101 ask question of How To. Please add an "OPEN CASE" button b/c I did not like having to wait (45+min) an unknown amount of time for the next agent after fighting with the stupid chat AI bot. Even when the agent got on he was having trouble chatting in the chat box. I kept sending details, questions and it was a few min delay in him responding. 

    This AI Chat bot is just good for the $#'s on the backend of the support dept but not good for your actual customers. The way your support used to be was a huge selling point where w/in the tool I could chat with an actual live support person who knew what they were talking about. Now it is not.

      I don't use support that often, just tried to today and this is the worst experience ever. I used to praise LogicMonitor for their support and recommended it more than once for this reason. No longer if this is the new way. Now I hear I will probably have to pay more for the PRIVILEDGE of having access to chat after almost 10 years of having access. Opening a case is still listed as an option in the main portal and just errors out with a vague error was well. Not a great experience.

  • The process does not work!

    I have been trying to raise a support call for over a week now. The Bot does not show any text for me.

    I try and raise a support call and no matter what I type in a support call appears to be opened and then automatically closed.

    I'm really not impressed

      Hi Spoon Can you message me your name and account so I can look into this for you? It might be a permissions issue on our end. Thanks!

        Sorted - needed URLs whitelisted
        I would add what was required but the page wont let me add the URL

    1. Will there still be a Support link from within the UI like there is now to keep it convenient?
    2. How do I know which tier of support we have?

      Hello Kelemvor  I have added responses to your questions below. 

      1. Yes, you will still be able to access the URL from your LogicMonitor account from the Support panel, but it will now take you to login to the support portal before you can submit a request. Requests will no longer be able to be done directly from within the LogicMonitor account. 

      2. Your Support tier will be listed on your contract or you can contact your CSM for further information on current tier you are subscribed to. However, this is good feedback and I will see if this is something we can make more visible within the new support portal.

        Yes, you will still be able to access the URL from your LogicMonitor account from the Support panel, but it will now take you to login to the support portal before you can submit a request.

        Except it does not do this. I get an option to open a ticket and a generic error when I try

        Requests will no longer be able to be done directly from within the LogicMonitor account. 

        This is dumb as a box of rocks. Who thought this was even remotely a smart idea to make me go out of what I am working on and open another screen to talk to a bot that sucks just to get a chat or a ticket link? There is not even an open ticket link your "get support" in the support portal just gives me that bot. Do people not realize that most technical people do not like talking to a bot that is usually just going to get in your way/provide already tried information? This is a roadblock to progress. AI is not there yet to pull this. I guess it's a way to not hire staff and pay less though.
