Supported Platforms

You can have confidence that our supported platforms are well tested and we will work to correct issues. Atlassian will not provide assistance with configuration in unsupported environments. See the pages below for detailed information on what platforms are supported with Atlassian products:

 Supported Platforms are version specific. When checking the documentation, make sure you're viewing the correct version for your platform.

Addressing Security Issues

Please read our Security Policies page for information about Atlassian's approach to handling security issues.


Fixing Bugs

 Critical priority is defined as: "production application down or major malfunction causing business revenue loss or high numbers of staff unable to perform their normal functions." This includes security issues.

For more detailed information, please visit these policy pages:


End of Life Policy

Atlassian supports major versions for two years after the first major iteration of that version was released (for example, we support JIRA 6.3.x for 2 years after JIRA 6.3.0 was released).

For versions that are supported, customers can raise issues via https://support.atlassian.com. If a bug is discovered, it will be prioritised based on our Bug Fixing Policy and may require you to upgrade to the version which includes the fix. For critical security bugs, please see our Security Bugfix Policy on which versions we will back port critical security fixes to. 

Expand to see End Of Life dates for your Version...

Eligibility and Software Maintenance

Software maintenance covers access to support and software product updates for the corresponding software license. Refer to your applicable Cloud Terms of Service or Software License Agreement for specific terms of agreement. After the active maintenance period expires, the software will continue to function, but you will no longer be able to access support or software updates (including security bug fixes). Note that starter licenses include community support only. 

Support is open to system administrators and account holders. End-users will be redirected to a system administrator.

See Atlassian's bug fixing and Atlassian Security Bug Fix Policy policies for further discussion.


Knowledge Prerequisites

Administering Atlassian products requires a baseline technical skill set, including but not limited to:

Customers are responsible for administering and upgrading their own installations. Atlassian Support will provide guidance on how to do this, but we will not be able to provide step by step maintenance and installation. If you require further assistance with this level of implementation, please consider the following resources:

Help with Unsupported Issues

Community

The Atlassian Community is a great channel for discussions outside the bounds of the Atlassian Support offering. Below are some of the areas covered in the Atlassian Community.

Partners

If you need additional help, contact one of our Atlassian Partners (our 3rd party value added resellers) who offer a wide range of professional services, training, customizations and paid support. 


Third-Party Product Integration

Atlassian products interface with a variety of technologies. Front-end solutions like Web Servers (eg Apache HTTP Server), load balancers, single sign-on solutions (SSO), SSL certificates and LDAP repositories add functionality that is often critical to functioning of our products.

Atlassian will endeavour to provide documentation for integration with these 3rd party applications but does not provide support for 3rd party applications. We are unable to provide support when a failure in a 3rd party application occurs.


Third-Party Cloud Environments

Atlassian Server products can be deployed in a variety of 3rd party public cloud environments such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), or Microsoft Azure. These environments can offer such services as dedicated image storage, caching mechanisms, load balancers, auto scaling, and network configuration which all add functionality that is often critical to the functioning of our products.

Atlassian will endeavour to provide documentation for utilising these 3rd party environments and services but does not provide support for these 3rd party environments and services themselves. We are also unable to provide support when a failure in a 3rd party environment or service occurs.

We recommended consulting our documentation regarding the minimum resource sizing of 3rd party cloud environments and services running Atlassian applications as ample provisioning can guarantee the best customer experience. In cases where Atlassian has provided deployment templates for 3rd party cloud environments and services we will endeavour to troubleshoot the template is functioning as intended. If such templates are altered and used differently to those Atlassian has provided, Atlassian Support may not be able to provide support for these alterations.

Add Ons

Atlassian offers support for certain add ons as listed in our supported add ons list. For unsupported add ons, issues should be raised with the provider of the add on. Each add on's supported status is listed on its page in the Atlassian Marketplace.  If you're doing development work, visit the Atlassian Developer Network.


Beta and Development Releases

Atlassian does not offer support for milestone or beta releases, but we do support release candidates. These will be tracked with the terminology 'RC' in the version title.

Databases and Application Servers

Servlet Containers and Databases are integral technologies; without them Atlassian products cannot function. We provide integration instructions for getting our products to work on supported platforms, but we do not support configurations that differ from the procedures described in our product documentation.


Customization and Development Requests

There are many ways to customize and extend our products. We provide source access, APIs, remote interfaces, plugin frameworks, scripting languages, and tools that allow users to add or change CSS rules, HTML, and JavaScript real-time. However, our support for use of these customization options is limited.

If you're working to extend or customize our products and encounter a problem, Atlassian support are happy to help document the problem and relay information to our development teams as follows:

  1. We can help you verify whether our code is working as intended and document any bugs.
  2. If we provide examples of how to make customizations in our documentation, we will work to make sure that documentation is up-to-date.
  3. For in-depth questions about implementing customizations, we will refer customers to our developer network or partner network.
SQL Queries
Modifying data

Atlassian does not support customers performing direct data manipulation of application databases via queries such as INSERT, UPDATE or DELETE, as they can easily lead to data integrity problems. If Atlassian encounters manipulation or customizations at this level, we may ask customers to restore data from their last known working state, or to engage an Expert to help recover their instance to a supportable state. If you are confident your UPDATE or INSERT is safe and your change management system is reliable, refer to the specific product's database documentation.

Fixing problems

In the event that there are data integrity problems due to defects in a product, Atlassian will provide workarounds or solutions to these problems that may involve SQL queries. We use SQL-based solutions as a last resort.

Reporting

Using SQL for business intelligence is beyond the scope of Atlassian Support. Some of our products have a community page for database queries. Please help us as well as the community by contributing your knowledge! 

We have popular communities – see both the reporting for JIRA and reporting for Confluence parts of our community.

Deployment Planning Activity

Planning for rolling out our products or capacity planning for large instances is better suited for service offerings than Atlassian Support. We will refer this kind of activity to our partner network. This includes establishing specific upgrade and deployment plans for existing installations.

New Feature Requests
