Is SoftLayer Down?
| Posted by HostSentry, 10-24-2007, 01:31 AM | |
I can't get to the softlayer site or any of the hosts that use softlayer...
I'm at a university... so I don't think it's just me.

See the futurehost.biz thread -- Futurehost is in softlayer's dallas datacenter, and they're getting DDOS'd right now. They're probably moving network segments and all kinds of other fun stuff around in an attempt to compensate.

SoftLayer was not down as part of the DDOS. It was specifically our DNS servers as well as nodes on one of our vlans. We have off-network monitoring for SoftLayer.com for our internal performance monitoring and show 0 downtime for them.

Okay well I could not get to any of my servers at SL, or the website softlayer.com.
It was only for about 4 minutes. I'm not sure how effective your monitoring is, so its hard to say if it would notice that at all.

All of our monitoring systems (we use Pingdom, Alertra, as well as our own Nagios installations) are globally based and Pingdom and our Nagios monitor at 1 minute intervals.
It was likely an issue between your location and SL for a few moments.

Probably.
I would be a bit wary of the quality of pingdom's services though. I have intentionally taken services down for as much as five minutes without a 1 minute interval noticing at all. Try it for yourself and see.
Either way, this thread can be closed now (reporting it).
