Getting support

Get a Google support package

Google Cloud offers different support packages to meet different needs, such as 24/7 coverage, phone support, and access to a technical support manager. For more information, see Google Cloud Support.

Prepare for Google support

Before contacting technical support, see if your question or problem has already been addressed in one of the following places:

• Known issues
• Troubleshooting
• FAQ
• Error messages
• Diagnose issues

When you contact technical support, we recommend that you have the following types of information ready:

• Your project ID and Cloud SQL instance name.
• If your issue involves an error of any kind, check the Cloud SQL logs.Copy and save any resulting log entries that appear to be relevant to the time the problem occurred.

  Read the entries carefully. Error logs can be full of information, and often the root cause of the problem is hidden somewhere in the text.

Get support through the Google Cloud console

You can contact technical support through phone or chat, and find other support options on the Google Cloud console support page.
