6 Dell SupportAssist: Alert Policy | Revision A00
What is the response time?
A Service Request to open a support case with Dell is created by SupportAssist at the time a given alert
goes beyond the predefined threshold. These Service Requests are then automatically sent and assigned
to a Dell Technical Support agent. The agent accepts the Service Request and starts the resolution
process.
The response time for a support case created by SupportAssist is generally the same as that of a support
case created by contacting Dell Technical Support over phone. The support case is created at severity
level within Dell Technical Support which is important, but not urgent. If you deem that the support case
requires more urgent attention, contact Dell Technical Support.
For more information on the Dell Support agreement, see the Service Descriptions
.
What if I need assistance with deploying OpenManage Essentials
and SupportAssist?
Many customers have downloaded and installed OpenManage Essentials and SupportAssist without
assistance from Dell. For other customers, Dell Remote Consulting Service (RCS) is available to provide
deployment assistance.
If your IT Administrator has already implemented OpenManage Essentials or SCOM, and you have
moderate to advanced IT proficiency, installing and setting up SupportAssist would require about 15
minutes. You may require additional time to verify if OpenManage Essentials or SCOM is set up properly to
send alerts via SNMP and SupportAssist is set up to upload collections to Dell.
For more information, you can access additional documents at Dell.com/SupportAssistManuals
