There were 81 RIPE Network Coordination Centre outages since August 22, 2025 totaling 51m of downtime. Each is summarised below — incident details, duration, and resolution information.
THIS IS A SCHEDULED EVENT Jun 17 , 08:00 - 09:00 CEST Jun 15 , 16:40 CEST Scheduled - We plan to perform a switchover of the RIPE database primary instance, so we can perform patching on the server. We don't expect any downtime for Whois queries or updates.
THIS IS A SCHEDULED EVENT Jun 11 , 19:30 - 21:30 CEST Jun 11 , 12:32 CEST Scheduled - RRC12 will be shut down for scheduled maintenance as part of a hypervisor upgrade. BGP sessions will be shutdown at the start of the maintenance. MRT update files will not be generated until maintenance has been completed.
Jun 5 , 09:43 CEST Investigating - We are experiencing issues with RIPEstat. We are investigating and will update this announcement once we know more.
Jun 8 , 17:25 CEST Investigating - rrc07 is currently unavailable and we are not receiving data from this collector. As a result, new bview and updates files are not being created for rrc07. We are investigating the issue and will post an update tomorrow morning UTC.
THIS IS A SCHEDULED EVENT Jun 8 , 21:00 - 22:00 CEST May 26 , 11:15 CEST Update - We will be undergoing scheduled maintenance during this time. May 26 , 11:09 CEST Update - We will be undergoing scheduled maintenance during this time. May 26 , 11:07 CEST Scheduled - We will be undergoing scheduled maintenance during this time.
Jun 8 , 09:00 CEST Identified - Over the weekend of 6-7 June we started experiencing an issue where software probes that disconnected for any reason were not allowed to connect again. Over time this caused a gradual decrease in the number of connected probes, up to 20% of software proves or about 10% of the total probe population. The identified the root cause to be a delay of processing of internal control messages. We executed ad-hoc measures that allowed most probes to temporarily connect again, and we are currently working on a proper solution.
Jun 5 , 16:18 CEST Investigating - The certificate authority we use changed the intermediate certificate of the certificates we use on our email MX servers, which we missed. This led to the TLSA records for our email MX servers to be incorrect. The TLSA records have been updated today around 16:00 Amsterdam time, but people verifying these may experience issues for the TTL duration of the records, which is 86400 seconds after the update in the worst case scenario.
THIS IS A SCHEDULED EVENT Jun 5 , 23:00 CEST - Jun 6 , 02:00 CEST Jun 4 , 10:27 CEST Scheduled - The third-party service that we use for billing and payments, AFAS, will perform an upgrade of its database servers. During this maintenance, AFAS Online will be temporarily unavailable, which may flag any payment issues.
THIS IS A SCHEDULED EVENT Jun 5 , 10:00 - 11:00 CEST Jun 4 , 09:49 CEST Scheduled - We will be carrying out software updates on the RIPE Atlas controllers. You may experience delays in scheduling one-off measurements and receiving results during this time.
Jun 4 , 20:01 CEST Investigating - We are currently investigating this issue.
THIS IS A SCHEDULED EVENT Jun 2 , 13:00 - 18:00 CEST Jun 2 , 10:05 CEST Scheduled - We will be undergoing scheduled maintenance during this time.
May 30 , 09:02 CEST Identified - We have identified a misconfiguration in the pipeline that publishes RIS bview files to data.ris.ripe.net, and are giving early notice. As part of an infrastructure change on 27 May 2026, the publishing pipeline re-copied historical bview files produced after February 2022. This had two effects: * File modification timestamps changed for historical bview files published after February 2022. * Some bview files produced between 1 March 2026 and 21 May 2026 may be incomplete. This affects copies of files downloaded after 26 May 2026. For the incomplete files, the likely impact is that data from some RIS peers may be missing from the affected bviews. The data has not been lost. We have multiple copies available and expect to fully recover the affected files after the weekend.
May 28 , 12:03 CEST Verifying - Verification is currently underway for the maintenance items. May 28 , 11:00 CEST In progress - Scheduled maintenance is currently in progress. We will provide updates as necessary. May 27 , 10:57 CEST Scheduled - We are performing maintenance on the pipeline responsible for generating MRT dumps and update files. During the maintenance window, new update files will not be published. (This maintenance was originally scheduled for May 27th)
May 27 , 10:46 CEST Resolved - We had a fiber issue between our data centers which also caused network problems for RIPE Access. The fiber issues seems to be fixed now and RIPE Access has also recovered. May 27 , 10:38 CEST Update - We are continuing to monitor for any further issues. May 27 , 10:37 CEST Monitoring - We have resolved the issue and continue to monitor the situation closely. We will share an update when it has been fully resolved. May 27 , 10:36 CEST Identified - We have identified the issue, the [explain the issue] and we are working to resolve it. May 27 , 10:26 CEST Investigating - We are currently investigating this issue.
May 27 , 10:40 CEST Resolved - We are monitoring the issue. We opened two incidents in parallel by accident, and are closing this duplicate. May 27 , 10:27 CEST Investigating - We get intermittent errors in RIPE Access. We are investigating the issue and working on a fix.
May 27 , 10:30 CEST Completed - The scheduled maintenance has been completed. May 27 , 10:15 CEST In progress - Scheduled maintenance is currently in progress. We will provide updates as necessary. May 26 , 17:52 CEST Scheduled - Status: informational. We expect no impact. On Wednesday May 27 at 08:15 UTC we will switch the backend used by RIPEstat from our on-premise backends to a backend hosted on rented bare metal servers. This will lead to additional latency between RIPEstat and backend systems. We have evaluated the latency increase and expect no significant impact. We have evaluated the expected increase and do not anticipate any significant impact. Recent work to parallelise backend queries should help hide most of this additional latency. We will carefully monitor how this migration affects RIPEstat. Please contact us if you observe a change in either the data or performance.
May 26 , 20:10 CEST Completed - The scheduled maintenance has been completed. May 26 , 20:00 CEST In progress - Scheduled maintenance is currently in progress. We will provide updates as necessary. May 26 , 11:23 CEST Scheduled - RPKI Dashboard is unavailable due to planned maintenance.
May 26 , 14:00 CEST Completed - The scheduled maintenance has been completed. May 26 , 13:00 CEST In progress - Scheduled maintenance is currently in progress. We will provide updates as necessary. May 22 , 15:15 CEST Scheduled - We will carry out maintenance on a backend system of RIS Live component as part of our migration of RIS backend systems to new infrastructure. During this maintenance RIS Live will not produce data for up to 30 minutes. During the maintenance window we will switch an upstream system used by RIS Live. The new instance runs independently from the current one. As a result, RIS Live cannot continue producing data during the switchover without risking duplicate messages. Instead, there will be a short downtime. During the maintenance window, we will: * Stop RIS Live data production * Reconfigure backend systems * Start RIS Live data production from the new backend systems There will be no overlap in data. We expect a gap of up to 30 minutes in RIS Live data.
