Temporary issue affecting field guides

Posted by AaronClausen

Hi All,

Growing pains again.

A key part of the system which is responsible for the generation of field guides needs to be redeveloped and optimised to handle much higher loads - we are receiving an insane amount of traffic now.

As a result, there is a temporary impact on field guide data which means that some field guides may appear inaccurate until this work is completed.

We'll let you know once it's been resolved.

Cheers

Aaron.

Hi Aaron, thanks for the announcement to clarify. Unfortunately, the Daily Reports have stopped coming for me at least. So if that is true for others they might have missed the announcement.

P.S. I am taking a break over Christmas and for a couple of weeks after that. I hope you can take some time off too. Our members can cope quite well with the present situation.

Really appreciate your efforts to keep this huge and complicated site up and running Aaron. Just in case no one has noticed/reported it, the SRS scores have gone haywire for a number of areas. I semi-regularly monitor the SRS score for the top 10 Reserves and all but 1 of them (Bruce Ridge) are currently reporting scores approximately 5 times bigger than recently. Bruce ridge has a sensible number compared with its history (just 1% larger than in September), in case that helps identify the issue.
Thanks to all the NatureMapr crew and Happy New Year.

Hi all, fields guides are being regenerated now - ETA a few hours for them all to start appearing correctly.

SRS scores will also be recalculated and refreshed as part of this process.

System has been heavily optimised and should be heaps faster and more reilable from here on.
