network down

AirNav Support · November 10, 2009, 10:30:20 AM

We haven't given the full thumbs up yet, as we want to see how it copes with the load today.

Nothing to do with malware or anything like that.

It was caused by corruption in the database which then caused a few other server applications to be corrupted. Once the database was sorted out on Friday, it soon became apparent that the server applications couldn't cope with the load.

Lots of investigation work over the weekend before the corruption from the server apps were removed and new routines developed to stop this in the future.

Also in Cologne/Germany! Thanks and by the way, you make a fine Job!

It seems the situation is corrected and we are getting much better results in terms of processing times and CPU usage on our server. We usually got a 1 to 4 secs time to process network requests and now that time has been lowered to less than 0.5 secs as an average. We will continue the work "behind the scenes".

We will always keep you informed whenever we have news.

Hi AND and ANS, many thanks for the advice and explanation, I was just a bit concerned it could've been a malicious occurrence, now re-assured, also things seem to be running even faster, so was there a problem slowly building up to crisis point?

AirNav Support · November 10, 2009, 08:56:18 PM

No, it was something to be kept an eye on but it wasn't building rapidly. The corruption accelerated the issue which is not something we could have predicted.

CoastGuardJon · November 10, 2009, 09:27:30 PM

Thanks ANS for the prompt (as always) reply - but caused the corruption - physical failure in the gubbins, or electronically in data?

AirNav Support · November 10, 2009, 09:48:21 PM

Electronically in data.

CoastGuardJon · November 10, 2009, 10:16:45 PM

Thanks ANS.

Hi,

my network still down.

I'm using 3.08 beta on vista 32 bit.

Any one have an idea?

Thanks

Check your firewall settings for RadarBox 3.08.

pereiralucas · November 10, 2009, 10:35:22 PM

I do not have firewall any more. Removed today

The Network is working fine for me using Beta V3.08.
