As far as I can tell... the way it works is: - If the servers are up... they'll show as up and the status page will update every few minutes. - If the servers are down... they'll show as up but will not update until they are actually up again... which then leads back to number 1. It's a great way to show the boss that the servers were never down. :-( Fail...
If the game system stops reporting, then the data will get old. There is a system that lives between the "status" (what you see on the page) and the "game". There is a middleman system that we use to monitor statistics. We use this as a push/pull. Each game server pushes status to the monitoring system while other systems (like our status page), pull information from that system. We represent the age of the data that we get from the monitoring system with our status so that you can know the credibility of the data, but it appears that the monitoring system gets into a mood. This will be most apparent if a lot if a lot of different servers (across multiple games even) are late reporting. -dan
Is there any way we could get the Login server on that list? Or at least include this data in the feed? If the Login server(s) are down, it doesn't really matter if the servers are up because no new players can log into them. Thanks again for the hard work on this!

Looks like it may be sticking again - just checked it after reading this thread and it hasn't updated in almost an hour.
Stuck again. Update going on and all server showing as being up. Back to the drawing board I think. lol.....now it's showing servers are locked. Silly wires and circuits
Just a quick note to let you know that for the past couple of days, Test and Test_Copy are flagged as "down" with last update 14h ago. Test and Test_Copy are definatedly up.
