Recent maintenance on website

Posted on 08/06/2020 21:05 by Justin Bricknell

Hi all 

As stated previously, although I work in the Club's IS Dept, I'm not directly involved in the operational day to day maintenance of the website.

However, I can give you a few brief updates on some of the recent website outages... 

Several of these have been related to an upgrade/migration of the content indexing tool that deals with, among other things, the Club Together section of the website. This migration forms part of a bigger piece of work to upgrade the CMS (Content Management System), which should ultimately be more stable when complete. 

Earlier today, the performance of the website was affected by one of our web database servers "running hot" (maxing out on CPU). This was rectified by a restart of the affected server. 

I do not monitor the Club Together forums as part of my role. Therefore, I can't always reply to any responses to my posts in a timely manner...  but I do try to check in on them, and reply, as and when I can

Regards

Justin

Seems to be working a lot better this morning. Let's hope the sticking plaster holds.🤞Perhaps they just need bigger CPU's in their servers.😀

I'm sure that'll be looked at when we upgrade to the new CMS. It was mentioned in one of the technical calls last night; the servers were spec'd out for the original website upgrade in 2016.... obviously things have moved on since then.

Looks like I spoke too soon!

However, a further fix at 11.06pm last night seems to have fixed the issue :-)
