We got more data files. We should be good for the weekend now.!!! - Thank you

. . Yep, thanks to whoever got the job and did it. Much appreciated :) Especially since these Blc14 units are of the slower variety as well so they should last a bit longer ...

noise bombing files i have

Wow, it's back already ...

And with no work. Very strange outage. The servers came back early only to dump the RTS buffer immediately to those lucky enough to report work and get more work and then the splitters went on strike and hiatus. But no message boards till now.

The SSP says RTS = 0, this is bad.

One of my windows machines was able to grab 40 or so tasks about 15 minutes ago. Ready to send is just over 600 tasks so it looks like things are slowly getting back to normal.

Thanks to those who stayed late to get seti up and going again!!!

the results out in the field is around 4.2 million and it is usually 4.6 million, so it has a while until it can start building up a RTS queue.

Wow, it's back already ...

. . Yeah, I blinked and missed the outage completely ...

. . A shame that the message boards, the system and user stats weren't back with the main part of the system though.

. . And while there seemed to be work when it first came back it fell into a severe work famine.

I am surprised that many people think in this day and age it requires "hands on server" to sort out problems.

I am pretty sure that all it requires is a laptop and internet connection.

That's when things are working as intended. Around here, that's not always the case.
And even for remote work, someone has to be awake & fully functional at the time to do what's necessary.

. . True for some things. But I am sure there are still some things that require a manual activity to complete.

. . And respect is still a good thing ...

lot of noise with blc15_2bit_guppi_58329_19913_HIP91145_0023.4996.818.20.29.XX WU

The system seems to be able to handle a certain amount of noise bombs. A file here and there isn't a problem. When someone posts about noise bomb files I usually check the status page to see what the "Results received in the last hour" is and also the queries/second level.

The results received in the last hour is less than 100k, so the system is running well. I grow concerned when that number is over 120k as it usually means that the system can't do clean up (db purging) as well as usual as it is too busy.

We have a good amount of data, so hopefully we will have no reason to panic until next Friday when more data will need to be added. I'm hoping Tuesday's outage is short :-).

Seems the Server is stuck.
Splitters are out to supper and the RTS is falling.

I'll echo TBar's "something's wrong"
There are a bunch of WUs stuck in the "waiting for assimilation" and the "Results received in the last hour" is 3hours stale.

It's borked.
Awaiting Validation & Assimilation are going through the roof, and the splitters are no longer splitting so the Ready-to-send buffer is emptying fast. Received in the last hour has frozen.
At the return rate when it froze- we'll be out of work in just over 2 hours.

Panic!
Guessing we have about 2 more hours of WUs in the RTS and then there will only be a stray AP resend here and there until someone performs some percussive maintenance on the system.

if the splitters have stopped, then all those WUs waiting for assimilation 200K+ are resends?

I sent Eric an email message 4-1/2 hours ago, but no word back from him yet.
Although I remember a similar outage where he said the system went down in a way that stopped email forwarding as well ...

It is after 11pm on a Sunday night in California. The team seems to have some early risers, so hopefully this can be solved in the morning. good night.
