Dead Man's Snitch incident

19 Minute Check-in Blackout

Resolved after 19 minutes, on February 24, 2015.

resolved Feb 24, 2015, 04:15 PM UTC

Snitch check-ins between 15:30 UTC and 15:49 UTC were accepted but not processed. We brought check-ins back online, but the check-ins during the outage have been lost. We have discovered that check-ins were not run due to incorrectly telling our queue that we had failed a message. We mistakenly were not telling the queue to requeue the failed message and it was instead being dropped.
