[Update] In light of recent government advice on the use of face coverings / masks, we are asking our staff, security guards and customers to wear face coverings in the communal areas of our offices and data centres. This includes corridors, break out areas, toilets and kitchens. We are not asking customers to wear masks when working in the Data Halls as long as they are distanced from Node4 staff and other customers. As before, we expect customers to take responsibility for working in a COVID safe way when onsite and provide their own PPE as required. Please ask our onsite staff for guidance if needed Effective from 24th Sept 2020 Thanks Rik Williams (Head of Data Centres)

Scheduled Maintenance - ScienceLogic Upgrade - CHG0061561Planned Maintenance

Description

On Wednesday 4th August we will be performing an upgrade to all ScienceLogic components. The maintenance is staggered throughout the day and will require a reboot of each server. There will be two periods of downtime up to 30 minutes each where central servers have database schemas updated and are rebooted and dashboards will be unavailable. There will also be a requirement to update the database schema and reboot each collector. Impact The process takes up to 15 minutes, during this time each collector will be unable to process any data so will not raise any issues and will not store performance metrics. Upon completion, a collector will poll and immediately raise an alert for any devices that are experiencing an issue. Dashboard access will be unavailable while central servers are updated and rebooted, due to the size of the database these two outages are expected to take at least 15 minutes and maybe up to 30 minutes. Support & Feedback Our Site Reliability Engineering team will be monitoring the process and will be testing and reacting to any issues to keep the outage window on each collector to a minimum. While it is important for Node4 to perform maintenance such as this to ensure the quality of our platforms, we do everything possible to minimise any inconvenience to our customers. We appreciate your patience and welcome any feedback. Kind regards, Node4 Change Manager
