Web: Dallas OPAL4 MariaDB Outage

MariaDB on OPAL4 has crashed, we're working to identify the cause and solution now.

  • We've seen no further problems since our last update.

  • The issue with database permissions is resolved and the MariaDB service is back online and operating normally. We will continue to monitor.

  • We've discovered that there is still a problem with database permissions. We're working to resolve that at this time.

  • The data restoration has completed and we are continuing to monitor the server as usage increases.

  • The restoration is approximately 75% complete.

  • The data restoration is approximately 50% complete.

  • The MariaDB restore process is still running.

  • The database corruption is unrecoverable so we will proceed with restoring from backups. The most recent valid backups were from 1.5 hours before the server crashed so we'll proceed with the restore from there.

    The restoration process varies in completion time. It may take up to 6 hours or more. We'll keep this post updated.

    Web: Washington D.C. opal12 not responding

    opal12.opalstack.com (washington DC shared hosting) is currenty not responding. We're investigating at this time.

  • The outage was caused by a very heavy spike in system load, itself caused by a brief (but intense) attack from an abusive IP address. The problem has been mitigated and the server has been stable since our previous update.

  • opal12 is back online and stable at this time. The cause of the outage is still under investigation.

    Web: Frankfurt High load on opal15

    opal15.opalstack.com (Frankfurt shared hosting) is currently experiencing heavy load. We're working to resolve it at this time.

  • We've identified the cause of the problem and have taken measures to mitigate it as of about 3 hours ago. The server has been stable since that time.

  • The high load was caused by heavy CPU usage from the MariaDB service. We're still working to identify the exact cause but the server is stable at this time.
