NFO Machine Issues

[Roy 10,832 / 0]

Hello,

 

I just wanted to notify everyone our NFO machine is currently experiencing issues at the moment. It appears our machine is pegged at 99% CPU (this may be caused by an attack). This is resulting in our game servers going offline on this machine.

 

I have submitted a ticket with NFO and look forward to hearing from them soon regarding this incident.

 

I will reply back here once I have more information.

 

Thank you and I apologize for the inconvenience.

Probably an attack then. Could be a process stuck on the OS itself as well (less likely).

 

I'll get the CEO to look into it.

 

Also, RIP like 1+ year(s) up-time for the machine haha.

Thanks.

Servers appear to be stable now. It was more than likely an attack. Here is the response we received from NFO's support:

Thanks for contacting us today. It appears CPU usage for the machine spikes to 100% and stayed there. I've triggered a reboot for the machine to bring the servers back online. This should complete shortly.

 

Based on the graphs, this may have been triggered by an attack against a server, likely causing a server or servers to lock up.

 

Thank you.
