Fault Reporting
The ATNF Fault Report system uses a JIRA database. There are two simple ways to submit a fault report:
- Use the "Submit fault report" link on the "observing" tab of the Observing PORTAL to open a custom Web form and enter the requested details, OR
- Send an email to
parkes.support@csiro.au,
- Click the link to open your default mail client or copy the address into your preferred email client.
- In the subject write a brief summary of the problem.
- In the body of the email, describe the request or problem with as much information as possible, including details like:
- Your observing location
- OPAL project ID
- Time problem occurred (include the timezone)
- Your contact phone number
- Screenshots (if necessary) can be added as email attachments
One of our team will contact you if more details are needed.
For staff or affiliates with a CSIRO NEXUS account, or collaborators with a CERA (formerly PUMA) account, another alternative is to submit the fault report directly through the Jira Web interface here:
Parkes Support JIRA Page (login required)
If you are interested in getting a CERA account, contact a member of our staff.
