Server Outage March 5 2012

The system is back up and running normally again.

We experienced a server outage at around 0930 UTC. You may have seen error messages to the effect of a transaction log being full.

The system was back up at 1100 UTC.

We are rebooting a server

The system is down for a few minutes while we reboot a server that is misbehaving.

System was down temporarily on Monday

The database server failed to make a transaction log backup. And we had a glitch in the notification system, so it took us longer than usual to notice. But we got everything working in about hour after we discovered what had happened, and the system is back to normal now. Sorry for the outage!

Very short system outage

We are rebooting a server, so the system will be down for a few minutes

Database outage - Fixed

The database outage that began around 5:30am Central Time is now fixed. One of the log files in our database had overflowed and was creating a system outage. We have freed up the necessary disk space, and rebuilt the log.

We are rebooting the server

The application server hung up, so we are taking this opportunity to install a bunch of Windows updates and reboot it. It should be back up by 1515 UTC at the latest.

Possible system delays or short outages Thursday

The network operations center has informed us that some network routers need to be replaced sometime Thursday. You may experience a short outage or system delays while the work is being done.

There is no need to contact us, as we will be very aware of any outage, and the system should return to service quickly if it does go down for a few minutes.
