January 12
Seems to be working OK now.
I don’t see any signs in our logs of an extended network outage. (We check the status of the network connections between the server in Tennessee and the website ISP in Nebraska once a minute.) There are no other indications of a problem, either.
It was about 4 am January 12th.
Probably system backups as that would be 2am in Nebraska if that’s where the server is located.
4AM in NYC is 3AM in eastern Nebraska, same as in Chicago, Sevan.
I checked all the system logs, I don’t see any clear indication of what happened, there were no load spikes on either server.
