Update 16-12-2021 - 10:50
All servers are now back up and running - the patching went as planned.
Update 16-12-2021 - 10:50
GolfBox is currently running updates and installing security patches on 4 of our servers, while doing so we have found that 2 servers require extra attention and will be offline longer than expected, this might mean that some service interruption is experienced but we should be back online shortly.
Update 13-12-2021 - 08:00
As part of our ongoing server maintenance projects, GolfBox will be making sure that all servers are fully patched and updated to the latest versions available to us. This process helps us in keeping our servers as up-to-date and secure as possible, so in the off-season (October to March) we will be running this patching schedule that takes on the second Monday and third Thursday of every month. During the process, there will be a chance that some users are logged out of the system while that particular server is patched but the interruption will be very short.
Update 05-11-2021 - 14:00
On the 1st of November at 16:55 GMT+1 GolfBox started receiving reports that our websites were no longer reachable via the internet. We found the problem was not localized to one specific part of our software but instead every website on our servers. We contacted our hosting service provider (Sentia) who were aware of the situation and were doing everything they could to re-establish our connectivity.
All websites remained down until 19:20 GMT+1 which is when Sentia informed us that they had re-routed traffic through a different data center, but the problem was not fixed yet. Now our customers could login to GolfBox sites again, but traffic could not leave our servers, so no external services were available.
All connectivity was eventually restored at 05:00 GMT+1 and our servers reported completed end to end connections again. The result was a total of 9 hours downtime.
The root cause of the incident was an accident that resulted in the fiber optic line being cut in between 2 of the data centers. Sentia are still trying to find the reason the redundancies did not kick in as expected but that could take some time between the various parties to discover what did not happen.
We have included the of Sentia’s root cause analysis of the incident in the attached file at the very bottom of this page. You can also download it here.
Update 02-11-2021 - 06:00
Update 01-11-2021 - 21:00

On Monday (June 21-06-2021) evening, GolfBox in conjunction with their hosting partner Sentia will begin moving our environment to new hardware in a new data center.
The move will begin at 18:00 and we expect to be done by 06:00 Tuesday morning, during this time we do not expect any big interruptions in our service although we have been told that small interruptions can occur if the data that is currently being is accessed is being moved at the same time.
If you experience any issues, wait 5 minutes and if it still happens, contact us at support@golfbox.dk.
Update 10-06-2021 - 13:30
There will be a short service window tonight at 23:30, to restart the servers. Disruption should be minimal if any at all.
Operations should now be back to normal. We are making improvements to our Load Balancer/Firewall. Unfortunately in this process, we had to restart our servers this evening to force the traffic to flow correctly again. The final changes to the new LB/FW will be happening this week which should not require any more restarts.
We are experiencing issues with one of our servers because traffic is not being spread on other servers. We are looking into it with our hosting company.
GolfBox will be working on their servers internal firewall today and tomorrow, although no interruptions are expected, some may occur due to traffic being directed differently to the new firewall.
There are still some issues with score reporting that we are working on. We also have some reports of scores being reported more than once, we will also look into this and delete any duplicate scores.
Report scores load has been minimized and the page is responding as expected again.
The Report Scores page has longer answer times at the moment, due to the huge amount of scorecards coming into the system at the moment. The rest of the system does not seem to be affected at the moment. We are working on getting the answer times down to a normal level again.
We apologize for the inconvenience.
The Member Statistic report for the Centrale Foreningsregister needs to be re-calculated. That means that there will be a short service window this afternoon and until midnight. This will only affect the Member Statistic report for the Centrale Foreningsregister, which will be unavailable in that period of time.
There will be a short service window tonight at 2300, to restart the servers. Disruption should be minimal if any at all.
There is a scheduled maintenance window Tuesday, December 1st. 2020 from 22:30 danish time and approx. 6 hours for Vmware updates. This may cause a few disruptions as each server is being updated.

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
Der er i øjeblikket gode forbedringer, men vi fortsætter med at monitorere det hele. Der vil også blive installeret endnu en webserver i dag.

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.

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.
