    Description

    January 17, 2017 9:58 AM 10:06 AM 8

    On January 15th, during a maintenance window, an activity on the load balancer took place. Following the maintenance activity, Ex Libris identified a misconfiguration on the load balancer. In order to resolve the misconfiguration that impacted several customers, the entire environment had to be taken down for few minutes.

    Due to a network device software defect some of the network routing was not propagated and caused outage to part of our service.

    As immediate action Exlibris engineers initiated a failover to the adjacent redundant network device, and resolved the issue by reloading the device configuration

    How is Uptime Calculated?

    The uptime calculation is based on the following calculation (as defined in the Alma Service Level Agreement):

    "Uptime" means the total period in minutes during which the Service is available for access and use during this period.

     

    Uptime Percentage” means Uptime expressed as a percentage, calculated in accordance with the following formula:   

      

     Uptime Percentage = X /(Y–Z) × 100    

    Where: 

      X = Uptime

      Y = Last 12 months period

      Z = The duration (in minutes) of any SLA Exclusions* during these 12 months

     

    *SLA exclusions are defined in the contract SLA (e.g. Scheduled maintenance, etc.)
