Unscheduled downtime incidents in Q4 2018

Date	Start time [CET]	End time [CET]	Duration (minutes)	Description
October 01, 2018	09:55 AM	10:08 AM	13	After a thorough investigation done by Exlibris experts and the relevant external vendor, the root cause was found to be a bug within the European Datacenter Load Balancer device. The bug affected the SSL\TLS component engine which did only processed SSL\TLS connections intermittently to the Ex Libris applications. Other connections, which did not use SSL\TLS, continued to work as usual. To overcome the bug during the event, Ex Libris performed a failover of the traffic to the redundant network and redirected a part of the traffic to an additional Load Balancer device.

October 08, 2018	03:11 PM	03:51 PM	40	A fix to regression in the October release also required a specific application cache refresh. Due to a human error a full application cache refresh was done, instead of a specific refresh. The full application cache refresh caused a high load on the system and required a full system start-up to restore full system functionality.
October 15, 2018	01:33 PM	03:46 PM	133	Extremely long queries in the system caused a huge memory consumption. After deep analysis Ex Libris engineers found that the length of the query was expended beyond normal length by one of the “query expansion routines”. As an emergency precaution and in to order to reduce the risk of re-occurrence, the following steps were taken: Temporarily turned off the “did you mean” functionality (which expands the query further) and later re-enabling it Turned off specific expansion routine that deals with citation formatted queries

How is Uptime Calculated?

The uptime calculation is based on the following calculation (as defined in the 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.)
