<auto-dbm@ripe.net> is slow this afternoon.

17 May '18

Dear Colleagues, Because of a very high level of use this afternoon, the response time of <auto-dbm(a)ripe.net> is longer than normal. I have made contact with those who are responsible and I expect the situation to improve as the machine works through the queue. Please be patient. Obviously we at the RIPE NCC Database Group are continuously working to make the performance of the database as good as possible. However, we cannot make improvements in zero time. We thank you for your co-operation up to now and we ask for your continued co-operation so that everyone receives the best possible service. If you have anymore questions, please contact <ripe-dbm(a)ripe.net>. Regards, Ambrose Magee ____________________________ RIPE Database Administration.

Deprecation of DBConstat service
by Denis Walker 06 Jul '12

06 Jul '12

Dear colleagues, The RIPE NCC has carried out a thorough review of DBConstat, a service to check consistency of data in the RIPE Database and produce statistics. It was written over ten years ago and has changed little over that period. The current software is unmaintainable now. The results of this review are published on RIPE Labs: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/denis/review-of-dbconstat The review showed that this service produces a series of almost flat line graphs and provides an interactive service barely used by anyone and resulting in no significant improvement in data quality in the RIPE Database. The RIPE NCC believes this is not the way to address the few outstanding inconsistencies reported by this service. We therefore intend to deprecate this service, then investigate and address the remaining inconsistencies using other methods, as discussed in the article on RIPE Labs. If anyone has any concerns about this service, please reply to the mailing list within the next two weeks. Regards, Denis Walker Business Analyst RIPE NCC Database Group

Database Updates service disruptions
by Kaveh Ranjbar 30 Jun '12

30 Jun '12

Dear Colleagues, RIPE Database sync updates, web-updates and API updates are not responding at the moment. We are dealing with hardware problems on the machines used for the database update cluster. The service was affected from from 07:58 CET (05:58 UTC) and we are working to recover it as soon as possible. Queries will keep working and updates via emails are queued and will be processed as soon as the service is up. We will send an update message as soon as the service is up or when we have an estimate on how long it takes to fix the problem. Kind Regards, Kaveh Ranjbar RIPE NCC Database Group Manager
