Spam Experts Filter Service - Degraded Performance

Update - Engineers have been able to confirm that after works were completed by the upstream provider and monitoring overnight that mail filters are now operating in a normal capacity.

A post incident report will be provided when completed.

If you are still experiencing any mail delivery issues when utilising the mail filters, please contact our support team via the MySAU portal or on 1300 788 862.
Nov 25, 09:29 AEDT

Update - Engineers & the Upstream Vendors are continuing to perform necessary work to the filtering systems to help them return to normal operation, further performance improvements and an overall reduction of load has been seen among the cluster.

We're expecting to have the problem rectified very soon, further updates will be provided when available; we appreciate your continued patience.
Nov 25, 02:19 AEDT

Monitoring - Engineers have completed further works on one of the spam filter service nodes within the cluster. They are seeing a return to normal operation, however are in coordination with the upstream vendor for further analysis.

Performance is expected to improve for any servers that have been utilising the filter. It is expected that you may still experience longer than average mail processing times while the mail queues are processed. We appreciate your continued patience.
Nov 24, 18:33 AEDT

Update - Engineers are preparing to enact further work on one of the spam filter service nodes within the cluster, in preparation for further coordination with the upstream vendor.

Degraded performance may continue through this period, including longer than average mail processing times. We appreciate your patience as this is continued to be resolved with the vendor.
Nov 24, 17:29 AEDT

Update - Engineers have placed the node back into production and works are underway to get the mail flow back into synchronization. While synchronization occurs, some spam filter performance may continue to be degraded until works have completed.
Further updates are to come.
Nov 24, 14:14 AEDT

Identified - During some routine work, Engineers have identified degraded performance with a node which provides the spam filtering service. Servers Australia will be removing the node with degraded performance from production temporarily whilst we investigate/complete the required works. During this period, Spam Filter associated services will automatically divert to other nodes in the cluster. Please note that there may be some increased duration of sending/receiving mail during this period.

Maintenance

Scheduled Maintenance

HADRaaS VPN Decommission Dec 7, 09:00-10:00 AEDT

We have recently replaced the legacy SSLVPN service which some users use to connect to HADRaaS vCenter, with a more modern VPN solution - Wireguard.

This maintenance window is to disable the legacy VMware SSLVPN service.

After this date, vpn.hadraas.servercontrol.com.au will no longer resolve, and the VMware SSLVPN service used for connection to the HADRaaS vCenter will cease to function.

All clients have been contacted via support case with the new VPN details, and instructions on how to connect to the HADRaaS vCenter.

We will be running both VPN services in tandem until the 07/12/2021, when only the new Wireguard service will remain active.

We highly recommend switching to the new VPN service as soon as possible.

Emergency Maintenance - Spam Filter Service Node

Completed - The scheduled maintenance has been completed.
Nov 26, 00:00 AEDT

Update - Engineers have had to extend the duration of this maintenance window to ensure all works are completed with no data loss.

During the window mail filtering will be operational but in a degraded state.

Current estimate for completion is 12AM. We will provide further updates as necessary.
Nov 25, 22:15 AEDT

In progress - Scheduled maintenance is currently in progress. We will provide updates as necessary.
Nov 25, 22:01 AEDT

Scheduled - Servers Australia Engineers will be invoking an emergency maintenance window to move a spam filter service node between environments. This is intended to assist with alleviating recent degraded performance seen by some users of the filtering platform.

The maintenance is expected to last 45 minutes until 10:45 PM AEDT. During this time, the spam filter will continue to function on service nodes that are not within the scope of this maintenance. While no direct customer impact to the spam filter is expected, users may see degraded or reduced performance of mail filtering during this time while the cluster operates in a degraded state.

Once maintenance completes, the service node will brought back into production and returned to operational status.

Service Disruption - Vocus End-User Connections

Resolved - Network engineers are now reimplementing original paths with Vocus, and all traffic should be seen from regular routes.
Nov 18, 10:29 AEDT

Monitoring - Engineers have been able to verify an advertised path between Vocus and Servers Australia experienced a fault, with Vocus technicians working to rectify their disruption.

Our engineers are currently implementing re-routing mitigation to restore service connectivity for Servers Australia customers, and impacted connections should be restored as traffic takes an alternate route.
Nov 17, 14:14 AEDT

Investigating - Engineers are reviewing reports from some customers that utilise Vocus as an upstream provider, that services on the Servers Australia network are unreachable. Some Internet Service Providers utilise Vocus as a wholesaler, so may be unable to reach Servers Australia services from a home or office connection.

Engineers are awaiting further information to confirm where the disruption is occurring with Vocus before performing further analysis.

Further information will be provided as soon as made available.
