vpsAdmin 2.8.0 integrates outage reporting, so it always knows who an outage affects and where to send notifications.
With vpsAdmin v2.8.0, you no longer need to remember which node hosts your VPS: only members affected by an outage receive email notifications.
We will keep reporting outages to outage-list as before. To avoid receiving notifications about every relevant outage twice (directly and through outage-list), you can either unsubscribe from outage-list or disable outage emails in vpsAdmin.
I have imported into vpsAdmin all previously reported outages that could be parsed.
Current and planned outages appear on the front page. For each one, you can see whether it affects you (if you are logged in).
Outages now say how they affect VPSes. For now, that can be one of the following:
- tbd: to be determined; we are still finding out what is happening
- restart: a clean restart inside the VPS
- reset: a reset inside the VPS
- network: loss of connectivity, DDoS and so on
- performance: temporarily reduced performance
- maintenance: the VPS keeps running, but operations on it may be unavailable
We can also post updates as we work on an outage, and affected members will receive emails. At a minimum, we will announce when it has been resolved.
Of course, all outage information can be retrieved directly from the API, so you can implement your own solution instead of using our emails.
