Up again. We are checking if the same problem happens again.

It has. My netwok is still down and its showing that I can only get the 5 minuted delayed network flights. I am subscribed to live network.. shut down ANRB a few times and restarted my computer twice. Still showing 5-minute delyed and no network flights at all. Oh now I ge the box in network telling me to subscribe to real-time network.

While it's a bit annoying when this sort of thing happens, it's the sort of thing that does occur occasionally in the world of networking.

Just chill out a bit folks and wait for the packets to start flowing again :)
Title: Re: network down
Post by: AIRNAVan on November 06, 2009, 06:50:13 PM
I'm able to connect to the network after starting up but then it drops out ,also the update rate is at 30 seconds not 20 secs.
Title: Re: network down
Post by: AirNav Development on November 07, 2009, 03:51:33 AM
Althought the outage problem will be less frequent we will, during this week, develop a new solution so the server performs better in extreme conditions. Until then it is possible for the network to have some small outages. We do apologize for this and will do our best to expedite this work.

Title: Re: network down
Post by: Yellowshrek on November 07, 2009, 04:15:36 PM
I have a similar problem to speedbird. I am receiving signals (white light flashing on the box) and aircraft are listed on My Flights but no idents showing on the screen. All aircraft are listed in Mylog. I am assuming it is a network problem.

Shame it is happening today as the Mother-in-Law is coming into Bristol from Toulouse this afternoon and I was hoping to track her flight.

Is is a network problem?
Title: Re: network down
Post by: Allocator on November 07, 2009, 04:35:32 PM
Lack of Network should make no difference to the aircraft picked up by your antenna.  Do you have any map filters in?  What happens when you click the 'Show All' button just below the 'Locate' button?

Are the aircraft in MyFlights showing the Globe symbol in the Tracing columb - to the left of Mode S (if you have Tracking set to show in Preferences>General

The Network is down for me at present, but I still have 19 aircraft in MyFlights and 15 of those are giving position information and are showing on the map.
Title: Re: network down
Post by: Typhoon on November 07, 2009, 05:08:03 PM
With the network being down or very intermitent (more off than on), and possibly like this for the next 24 hours or more, all the users that have paid for the live network or 5min delayed coverage, will they be being credited the extra days lost due to the outages? For me, I only subscribe every so often (when funds permit), so Im rather annoyed at the loss of nearly 2 days or more of coverage.

Not sure if anyone else thinks or feels the same way?
Title: Re: network down
Post by: Allocator on November 07, 2009, 05:10:34 PM
I didn't get any money back from BT when my phone line was down for 3 days last week!
Title: Re: network down
Post by: Silver Doctor on November 07, 2009, 05:23:24 PM
I suggest you go to the BT forum and sort that one out. Its nothing to do with Airnav. Customers should be given credit when the service they pay for is not being provided. I expect Airnav to do that, otherwise they will have some unhappy customers who won't return or purchase other products off them due to such poor service. By the way, I did manage to get credit from a phone company when my line went down for 2 days so I suggest being a little more forceful with them...or change companies!

if you read back on this thread you will see that Airnav are experiencing server problems, one of the problems of the IT world these days. We need to be a little patient as they seem to be working hard to sort the problems out especially as it is over the weekend.
As I type the server is in and out so I wish them luck it finding a long term solution.

Many thanks Allocator. Sorry I could not reply earlier but had to go to the airport. I think it was just one of those days when I was not picking up a great deal and it was exaggerated by network being down.

The irony is that Airnav RB is so good that we all feel lost why it does not operate as well as we know it can. I think that is called life. We should not complain when things go wrong but praise when things go right.

Jeremy,
I had read through the posts & I do understand- I work in the wonderful world of software myself!
It was merely the fact that I had network back but at 30s refresh rather than 20s & seemingly not real time that I wanted to bring to AirNav's attention.
I also understand from the business I'm in that it can take time to fix, whatever day of the week it is!

Dave
Title: Re: network down
Post by: Jeremy on November 08, 2009, 11:32:21 AM
Dave - I was only trying to help so please do not 'sit' on me! The fact you are well up in these things should point you towards the fact that the old network was a 30 sec refresh rate and it was only realtime that was 20 secs. So there are network troubles. I am sure Airnav will find a fix soon. I am chairman of company that works 24/7 so please do not lecture me either!

It's been down for most of the day, apart from an hour or so earlier this afternoon when it jumped into life briefly.

It's being worked on so we can only wait.

Airnav are having some problems with their server(s) and are trying to reconfigure things so that they overcome them, it's likely it will take a little while to fix, perhaps another couple of days I think.

Life would be sweet! :)

Don't be horrid, MrT ;-)

I'm sure AirNav are doing their best. I feel totally bereft without the network - you'll have noticed how much I love it, and this is the longest outage that I remember.

I actually spent some time with the wife and the cat today, so it can't be that bad! Although apparently there's something called "housework" that one of them does that I should get involved with. Can't wait for the network to come back!

Hi Rod,

Only joking!

I know these things do happen from time to time.

Sadly though, not often enough where I work. The server where I work is extremely and boringly reliable. (I work in a call centre).

Nothing on my system either, so I assume still down.  I appreciate they're doing all they can but I've never heard of such a long period of outage.   I've been a customer for two months now and it's been one thing after another.   I love the system but I wish it was reliable. :-(

I have been a customer since the Radar Box launch and this is the worst outage they have had. It must be pretty bad to take this long but we will have to bear with them as they do all they can to get it back :-)

We would like to give a small update about the network problems: as we have noticed before we were having a problem with our site which required us to change the technology involved in processing our applications (not only RadarBox) requests.

The work is finished and deployed. It will only be tested at peak times (starting at 8 AM UTC). We will conitnue to monitor the server during the next few days.

Again thanks for your patience and understanding on this. We will always do our best to keep our customers satistied.

Hi AN, good to know it's up and running again - fully sorted? or can we expect more down time for a few days?

What was the problem, I thinks a lot of us would like to know - catastrophic failure of HDDs or similar, some sort of malware, something that could potentially affect users?
Title: Re: network down
Post by: AirNav Support on November 10, 2009, 10:30:20 AM
We haven't given the full thumbs up yet, as we want to see how it copes with the load today.

Nothing to do with malware or anything like that.

It was caused by corruption in the database which then caused a few other server applications to be corrupted. Once the database was sorted out on Friday, it soon became apparent that the server applications couldn't cope with the load.

Lots of investigation work over the weekend before the corruption from the server apps were removed and new routines developed to stop this in the future.

It seems the situation is corrected and we are getting much better results in terms of processing times and CPU usage on our server. We usually got a 1 to 4 secs time to process network requests and now that time has been lowered to less than 0.5 secs as an average. We will continue the work "behind the scenes".

We will always keep you informed whenever we have news.

Hi AND and ANS, many thanks for the advice and explanation, I was just a bit concerned it could've been a malicious occurrence, now re-assured, also things seem to be running even faster, so was there a problem slowly building up to crisis point?
Title: Re: network down
Post by: AirNav Support on November 10, 2009, 08:56:18 PM
No, it was something to be kept an eye on but it wasn't building rapidly. The corruption accelerated the issue which is not something we could have predicted.
Title: Re: network down

Have you ticked the 'Get Flights From RadarBox Network' box next to the red/green indicator in the Network tab?

Getting most photos, some slow, some v.quick. Every now and then one just isn't downloading but I can still click it and get the image on airliners.net.
Everything seems ok.

Running v3.07

I'm presuming that there are still problems witht the Network as when I "populate" in "tools" in MyLog I usually find there are 15 to 20 Photo/Info Requests, whereas this afternoon there are 962!

I'm also finding that for some reason MyLog is dropping "Aircraft Name" and "Airline" details, despite them appearing on my Map Screen. I can't seem to find any solution to this, any ideas?  Is it related to the Network issue?

Cheers Allocator, it was as simple as that, I wonder why the box got deselected with this update, thanks again.

No problem - sometimes it is the simplest things that catch us all out :-)
