"A little time, a little trouble, your better day"

At around 2AM this morning things started to go a little pear-shaped with our servers. Our tech guys were looking into it trying to work out what was happening, but it became a all-hands exercise in trying to work out what broke what.
We had updated CodeProject's code. So we redeployed, cleaned and deployed, rolled back and cleaned and deployed. It wasn't our code.
Our requests per second were a little crazy. As in 1000x what we normally would get, but nothing that set off the DoS alarms. Things were adjusted to ease the load but the load remained uneased. Finally, with zero load we still had the site pinned. It turns out the firewall needs replacing. Firewall fixed, load reduced, site back up. Mostly.
There were also a series of Windows patches that were installed as part of routine maintenance. These were to do with HTTP security, so they naturally got some attention. Uninstalling Windows patches can be painful, but once one of the patches was removed everything popped back up. However, that was only on 1 of the servers, so that patch, since it's a security update, will be reinstalled, and if it causes issues the entire server will be binned and a new one rolled in.
So: fun and games at CodeProject central and I apologise for being down for so long. This was a bit of a trifecta, but we're now into mopping up and analysis stage so ![Beer | [beer]](https://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/Images/beer.gif) all round.
cheers

Well done Chris

It was very educational and I see how addicted I (we) are to CP.
Anyway, great you are back and I (we) don't need to look for another dealer

I seem to remember offering a round of beer for the CP team. The offer is still valid

I can't remember a longer one.
I am guessing plenty of ![Beer | [beer]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/beer.gif) is in order to soothe the throats made sore by excessive cussing.

I have been in many places, but I've never been in Cahoots. Apparently, you can't go alone. You have to be in Cahoots with someone.
I've also never been in Cognito. I hear no one recognizes you there
I have, however, been in Sane. They don't have an airport; you have to be driven there. I have made several trips there, thanks to my friends, family and work.
I would like to go to Conclusions, but you have to jump, and I'm not too much on physical activity anymore.
I have also been in Doubt. That is a sad place to go, and I try not to visit there too often.
I've been in Flexible, but only when it was very important to stand firm.
Sometimes I'm in Capable, and I go there more often as I'm getting older.
One of my favorite places to be is in Suspense! It really gets the adrenalin flowing and pumps up the old heart!
At my age I need all the stimuli I can get!
Sometimes I think I am in Vincible but life shows me I am not!
I don't think before I open my mouth, I like to be as surprised a everyone else.

He was one of those rare really clever wordsmiths. His material doesn't get old.

He was clever and funny with the English language, but he could be a bit snarky.

I'm not naming names because this day in age, people get sued and consumers aren't allowed to tell the truth. But, I'm just curious to know, how many CPians have ever used a third party vendor that expected the customer to monitor their uptime to make sure they're compliant with the SLA?
I just heard this for the first time ever today, and well... that's a new one.
