@dustinb3403 said in Does Regular maintenance count as Downtime?:

It's a question of what does 99.999% include.

That percentage is uptime, and specifically means that services are available 99.999% of the time... with no more than 5 minutes 15 seconds of downtime per year.

This is achieved through High Availability solutions. Such as in the example of websites, load balancing web servers with redundant reverse proxies, IPs, DNS, etc...

You can't have uptime like that if services are unavailable...

You do planned maintenance piece by piece so that you don't have to bring down your services. You would do firmware or OS updates on nodes 2, 4, and 6, while nodes 1, 3, and 5 are still running and providing services.

Oh and I rarely if ever had to do anything with SpendMap. Their support was absolutely fantastic! We had it for a few years and I think I only touched the servers to update them here or there. The support did all app updates themselves and I just had to be available for support if something went awry.

FFS can't you tell that was sarcasm?

Hey ... I kind of like this FFS-ing and yelling at people! It's fun after a long day!

Look at the images. Top left corner.

The developers are going to be looking at our database to see if they can track down the problem. We are not the only ones but not everyone is having the issue.
