Status Bot Issues

So, it seems at some point in the last few months, our status bot got wrecked. Quad9 stopped answering DNS request from our network and the bot silently failed and didn’t make any alerts to us about it.

So there was half assed and just broken uptime tracking until I noticed it the other night when checking over our website.

This issue has been resolved. Steps taking were first updating the SSL cert cause it expired during this time; updating the name server settings to use CF’s public DNS; and restarting the bot. Everything appears to be working correctly now.

Abort Mission!

That little project did not go over well what so ever and a lot of things ended up broken to hell and back. Adrian is working on restoring the network back to stable images from a few nights ago and we will not be revisiting this idea again.

Network Operational Again

We got lucky and the config copy we had locally on my PC was able to get the router back up and going again without doing a full rebuild. Really not sure what happened, but something caused the firmware update to crash and it put the router in an unbootable state.

Networking should be up again, but I’ll need to do a look over to make sure everything is in place and working correctly.
