  • Research Centres & Institutes site stopped responding- Nginx webserver returning 504
    • User rang my office phone at 1:52pm - unfortunately I was at lunch and then a meeting so I didn't get back tot he office until around 3pm. 
    • Checked logs - no indication of what went wrong in the places I looked so did a service restart. System came back up fine and the service was restored.
  • Set up nagstamon on my workstation - now seeing alerts and warnings for all systems.
