Update 23-09-2021 - 16:08

Message from our hosting partner: The solution implementation is now planned in a service window from 20:00 - 02:00.

We expect no negative influence on system availability.

The reason for the 6 hours service window is due to coordination between many different entities. 

Update 23-09-2021 - 14:08

Sentia - the hosting partner of GolfBox has located the communication error to be outside Sentia setup, and they are working with their backbone providers (TDC, Telia, and Global Connect) to correct the issue.

Update 23-09-2021 - 08:56

Our hosting partner was during yesterday's efforts unsuccessful in solving the network communication issues that affect all of their clients in the entire hosting environment.

Update 24-04-2021 - 18:45

Igår eftermiddag installerede vi en patch, opdaterede ram på en af serverne, ryddede op i nogle store tabeller og det ser ud til at have en rigtig god effekt på systemet. Vi fortsættere med at monitorere systemet.

Opdatering 02-07-2020 - 16:38

Vi oplever en væsentlig forbedring med de seneste tiltag. Den langsomme server og turneringsmodulet kører væsentlig bedre nu. Vi fortsætter med at monitorere effekten.

Opdatering 02-07-2020 - 15:40

Serverne er genstartet og kører igen med tilføjet ram. Vi fortsætter med at monitorere hvilken effekt det har - lige nu er det stadig langsomt på en server og i turneringsmodulet.

Opdatering 02-07-2020 - 15:30

Inden for kort tid kommer vi kortvarigt til at genstarte servere for Norge, samt turneringssystemet for alle lande for at installere mere ram. Dette skulle kun tage få minutter.

Opdatering 02-07-2020 - 13:22

Serverne er genstartet og kører igen. Dette har desværre ikke haft den ønskede effekt.

Opdatering 29-06-2020 - 09:20
Vi har et service vindue på web02 d. 30/6/2020 kl. 0002 i ca. 1 time. Dette vil medføre at de personer som normalt er på web02, ikke vil have adgang til systemet i ca. en time.

Det er i løbet af natten lykkes vores server eksperter at forbedre hastigheden på en række af de mest belastende operationer som afvikles på systemet.
Gennem morgenen hvor flere og flere brugere har begyndt at forbinde sig til GolfBox ser det ud til at serverne fint kan klare belastningen, så vi har en tro på at vores tiltag har haft den nødvendige effekt.

Vi fortsætter dog vores normale arbejde med kontinuerligt at overvåge og at forbedre systemet.

Opdatering 23-06-2020 - 08:30

Opdatering 11-06-2020 - 12:44
Over de sidste par timer har der været en forbedring af svartider - det er dog ikke helt oppe i fart for alle brugerne endnu.

Servers should be back to normal performance.

Update 05-05-2020 - 16:34

We are experiencing very long response times on one of our servers for all GolfBox services.
We are working on a solution.

Update 03-05-2020 - 14:45

Servers are stable because a variety of performance tuning operations was carried out on our servers.

Also, we have started deployment of new APP versions for all platforms with enhancments on performance.

Hosting specifications will be upgraded tomorrow.

Update 03-05-2020 - 09:00

We are experiencing very long response times on our servers for all GolfBox services.

The cause is due to the fact that our APP load is > 300% of normal traffic.
We are working on multiple solutions including allocating more server power to the APP area.

Update 02-05-2020 - 12:15

 The problems with the servers have now been resolved.

Update 02-05-2020 - 10:00

We have server issues. Our staff is working hard to resolve the problems

Update 28-04-2020 22:59

Update 04-07-2018 09:14

We are experiencing problems with our servers on GB Tour.

Tech support are working hard to fix the problem.

Update 30-07-2016 1000

CLOSED: We are still working on locating the real underlying issue – and the right solution for it. We’ve seen a 100% increase in admin traffic this week compared to last week – this may explain why but not the what-part.

It’s not due to inadequate server capacity – they use 50% CPU, and the suddenly the admin site hangs.

This evening we have split the Admin process into yet another separate process. So we’ll go to a total of 3 processes per server – we had one per server yesterday. Half of today we had two.

Tech support will  have phone and computer on them at all times throughout the weekend – so if the alarm sounds, they will  be over it as fast as they can get the phone out of the pocket.

Update 29-07-2016 1645

We have experienced some issues slow response times during the afternoon – but right now it’s running.

Here’s a list of the changes I’ve made.

I’ve managed to make a workaround for the search cache so that it no longer interferes with GolfBox Tournament Admin. ( 13:15 today )

I’ve also split the GolfBox Tournament Admin into more processes to make better use of the webservers new extra capacity. ( 15:30 today )

I’ll continue to monitor all systems very very closely..

Update 29-07-2016 1320

This is the 12:00 o’clock planned update.

The servers are currently running ok’ish – we see some blocking on one of them, which I’ll smack with my hammer as soon as I get the alarm for it. This is related to the search cache.

Regarding this cache – we have not been able to create a fix and deploy this yet. Planning and development is still in progress.

Next planned update around 15:00.

Update 29-07-2016 0745

The server upgrade has been completed according to plan and all webservers are running again – now with extra power available.

Besides that, we’ve identified the main issue we’ve seen – which is regarding the previously mentioned internal search cache. This search cache can in some circumstances interfere with the operations of the GolfBox Tournament Admin site. We’ll work on deploying a fix that will isolate this feature from the rest.

Next planned update @ 2016-07-29 12:00

Update 28-07-2016 1513

All systems are still running as expected – but as precaution we will add more power to our webservers.

This will happen tonight at 23:00 to 23:20 CET.

One server will be handled at a time and each server will take a couple of minutes to upgrade. The server has to be rebooted and therefore you might experience downtime while this is happening.

Update 28-07-2016 1300

All systems have been running smoothly all day so far.

I’ll keep montoring all system very closely and continue to logs from yesterday.

Next planned update @ 15:00 CET

Update 28-07-2016 1230

Scorecards are working again.

Update 28-07-2016 1220
