Overview

This page has been created to aggregate details/pointers/info related to the SUMO website which will aid in testing and will help newbies quickly ramp up.

Log in credentials for Staging

  • login:support
  • password:stage

Caching

SUMO (prod and staging) caches JS/CSS via Citrix NetScalers, memcached, and Smarty

  • If you can't see a fix on staging, ask IT to check and see what its latest SVN revision # is.
    • During a rollout to production, if you don't see fixes applied to production, it might be a stale git lock; ask IT to clear it
