CHI@UC upstream network issue

Resolved Posted by Michael Sherman on December 05, 2024
Outage start Thursday, December 05, 2024 1:20 p.m.
Expected end Thursday, December 05, 2024 6 p.m.

We're receiving reports of issues reaching CHI@UC, but the issues seem depend on the source address, so we have not been able to reproduce them consistently.

This manifests as timeouts for horizon dashboard at https://chi.uc.chameleoncloud.org, or disconnections when connecting to instances over ssh.

We're working with our network provider to troubleshoot the issue.

CHI@NU outage

Outage start Sunday, September 08, 2024 12:45 p.m.
Expected end Wednesday, September 11, 2024 6 p.m.

The CHI@NU site is currently inaccessible due to an issue with its proxy server interfering with federated login.

You will observe symptoms including the message "No active allocations" from the dashboard, or an HTTP 403 error from the API. Don't worry, nothing is wrong with your account, the failure just happens to be prevending the site from fetching your list of projects correctly.

We've notified the site operator, and will post updates here.
