RTS is falling at the moment. edit: to keep up with 140k per hour being returned and needing to be replaced we need to have around 39/sec creation rate. Faster would build the RTS queue back up.

Did anybody notice that the replica database has reappeared after half a year? Wonder what was wrong with it and what was needed to fix it? But it's currently 76,944 seconds (over 21 hours) behind the master. Was it up-to-date last night, and not updated since - or was it even further behind, but catching up?

The Assimilator backlog isn't clearing, but at least it isn't growing either. Grant Darwin NT ID: 1968945 ·

I would guess someone is doing something, or they need to know there is a problem. Since it isn't quite 2pm in Berkeley on a Friday, now might be a good time to find out which ... Stephen ? ?

According to the stats, the hopper (RTS) was pretty full about 10 to 15 mins ago so some of those tasks must be filtering out to the field. Stephen . . ID: 1969162 ·

And looking at the Haveland Graphs you can see there have been 2 other instances where the In Progress level has dropped- an indication of work not being sent out. More Scheduler shenanigans. And the reason the splitters aren't running at the moment is the Ready-to-send buffer is full, and it's not going to get any lower if the Schedulers aren't going to dish out any work- "Project has no tasks available" has ben the response for over an hour now.

That is not surprising at all. With the replica database being brought back online, it is trying to catch up and creating a lot of extra load. ID: 1969173 ·
