  2. Version and build:
    • Snap users: snap list maas
    • Debian package users: apt list maas
  3. Interface used: UI? CLI? API? Specify.
  4. What happened: Describe the unexpected behaviour. Keep it crisp.
  5. Steps to reproduce: Step-by-step actions leading to the problem.
  6. Screenshots: Only if they clarify.
  7. Log files: Especially maas.log, regiond.log, rackd.log. Depending on your installation:
    • Snap: /var/snap/maas/common/log/

Use a text editor. Keep these details at hand.
