    Event Timeline

    October 14th, 2017 from 02:48 AM until 03:39 AM Amsterdam time.
    October 14th, 2017 from 09:03 AM until 09:33 AM Amsterdam time.

    During the event, the service was unavailable for the environment.

    Root Cause Analysis

    Ex Libris Engineers investigated this event to determine the root cause analysis with the following results:

    Due to software malfunction more than one indexer was up and running.
    As all indexers tried to index at the same time they blocked each other.
    This blocking caused high memory consumption in the application components that resulted in stalls and required system re-start.

    Technical Action Items and Preventive Measures

    Ex Libris has taken the following action and preventive measures to avoid such an occurrence in future:

    • Ex Libris developers found a fix to stop this kind of stalls that will be implemented during the beginning of November
