We have had a severe database issue since Friday. This has impacted many things, amongst others mailman and hyperkitty. We are working on it.

Thanks. it all seems fine now. -- opensuse:tumbleweed:20210609 Qt: 5.15.2 KDE Frameworks: 5.82.0 - KDE Plasma: 5.22.0 - kwin 5.22.0 kmail2 5.17.1 (21.04.1) - akonadiserver 5.17.1 (21.04.1) - Kernel: 5.12.9-1-default - xf86-video-nouveau: 1.0.17

is the opensuse status page actually supposed to mean anything at all?

Generally yes, but we are not always good at updating it. Fixing the issue often takes priority.

it doesnt seem to be updated for various of its objects for many months and long timespans, the green icons seemingly dont mean anything at all. it was and is all green, also during past days.

Mailing lists were definitely indicated as down since Saturday evening.

and the tooltip over the lists for example show its last state is from march 2021, other objects are older and more.

Interesting, I don't know why that is. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (24.6°C) Member, openSUSE Heroes.

Hmmm; in part.

When I checked status.opensuse.org late Sunday NZST, the mailing lists were flagged in red as "Major outage". Next morning, however, that flag had disappeared and the site said all systems operational. But it was another 24 hours before the lists themselves actually came up ...

That is weird. Sunday the database was still down. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (26.0°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - your free DNS host, made in Switzerland.

Mail lists were operating on Monday morning (about 14 hours CEST, I think), but mails sent at that time still took hours to be published because of the backlog. At 18 UTC and a bit, mails appeared on time.

Sure. In that case, however, and from the eye of the external beholder rather than of the technical insider, is there not an argument that the status site should delay saying all is well until the backlog is cleared???? -- Robin K Wellington "Harbour City" New Zealand

We have two pages, synched with each other. Due to a slight configuration hiccup, the "major outrage" was overwritten with the "all is well". -- Per Jessen, Zürich (21.0°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - your free DNS host, made in Switzerland.

That is correct, it is simply a static webpage - well, two, one in Nuernberg, one in Provo.

It is a public information page - our internal monitoring infos would not mean much to anyone.

A static "status page" that gets updated whenever someone has enough free time to do it doesn't mean much either - every time there actually IS something that users could look at to avoind having to ask the same questions as everybody else there is noone with enough free time to update the page...

Seems list.opensuse.org/archives is showing "Server Error" again.

Yeah. We really are working very hard on this, three or four of us, since around 1800. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (21.2°C)
