Escalation Path (Paid Editions)

  1. Open a support ticket via the customer portal
  2. Include: cluster name, organization, CLI version (opencenter version), error messages, and reproduction steps
  3. Attach relevant logs (sanitized — no secrets):
    • opencenter cluster status <name> output
    • flux get kustomizations output
    • Pod logs for failing services
  4. For Sev 1: follow up via phone (Enterprise/Regulated)
