  • Alerts regarding WordPress

    Some clients may have received alerts from their hosting server referring to issues with their WordPress sites. These can be safely ignored.

    They were caused by an outage at wordpress.org which prevented access to the wordpress.org API. The API is used by our servers to check for WordPress updates etc.

    More details of the WordPress outage are provided here.

    We have also alerted Plesk of the issue with the WordPress ToolKit sending false positives in this event. They have taken this on board and are working on a solution to cater for these conditions. This should be remedied in a future update.

  • High system load across all nodes

    5:22am We are currently experiencing a high load on our systems, we are working to resolve this.

    5:36am We have located the issue. This was caused by 2 drives on the storage cluster causing a high IO wait time, but their state remained active rather than go into failed mode. The drives were forced into a failed mode and the cluster is now returning to normal load levels. We are investigating with our vendors as to why the drives didn’t register as failed in a more timely manner.
