Send a problem report from Nebula

Windows6 steps3 minEvery planNebula 0.4.54

Send support a sealed report from inside Nebula and follow its progress.

You need

  • the installed Nebula app (reports do not work in a browser preview)
  • an internet connection, or patience, because a report waits and sends by itself

Steps

Open Report a problem

The quickest way is Settings.

Settings›Support›Report a problem

You can also open it from any of these.

Where What to click
Help Need help? in the top bar, then Report a problem
A run that crashed Report a problem on the crash screen
The start screen when the engine will not start Report a problem. Works while the engine is offline
The engine dot in the top bar when it is not green Click the dot
The launcher Report a problem at the foot

Add a note

Type what you were doing into What were you doing when it went wrong? (optional). Up to 2000 characters. A note is optional. One line helps a lot.

Choose automatic reports

Tick Send crash reports automatically from now on if you want future crashes sent without asking. Leave it unticked to send only when you press the button.

Press Send report

Press Send report. It says Sending…. You can close the window while it sends.

Keep your reference

You see one of three results.

Follow it in Your reports

Open Your reports from Settings › Support, or from Help. Each report moves through Received, Being fixed, Problem fixed. Support replies show here too, and a fixed report names the version with the fix.

What a report contains

Included Not included
Your note Trading passwords or credentials

Your note and the logs are sealed on your computer so only our support team can read them.

Automatic crash reports

Setting Where Default
Send crash reports automatically Settings › Support, or the tick box in the report window Off

When it is off, nothing is sent unless you press Report a problem. When it is on, a crash the app sees sends a sealed report with no note, at most three a day. Settings also shows how many reports are waiting to send and the reference of the last one sent.

Questions

Do I need to attach log files?

No. Nebula packs the logs into the report for you.

Can I still email support?

Yes. Help says: reply to your purchase email or use the live chat on orionrfx.com. Quote your reference.

Will support see my trades?

Reports carry app and engine logs, not your trading credentials.
