Triage Process

Megan Wilhite

  • highlights:
  • Weekly rotational basis, per Core team member
  • review the new issues, daily
  • check the information on the issue i.e. Salt version, necessary steps to reproduce, log data, etc.
  • check for duplicate issues or similar issues to link and/or close
  • analyze the issue: feature/bug, apply all appropriate labels - documentation for labels currently being updated as per SEP 18 - PR will be generated and generally available next week on Thursday.
  • Replicate/reproduce/ confirm bugs
  • Critical issues are things like salt won't start and it needs more definition and hoping to get that definition in the documentation. We are aware of some holes and want to iterate on this and make it better, and more visible.
  • Inconsistent labels: updating the documentation and do a re-training on the Core Team to address this
