System Status

On Tuesday, October 25, 2022 at 5:30pm, some CARLI services experienced an unexpected service interruption for approximately 10 minutes. Services affected included the CARLI website, the ILDS website, the CARLI Selection System, CARLI’s Explore More Illinois authentication service, and CARLI’s ticket tracking system.

During routine software maintenance of CARLI’s AWS environment, new local IP addresses were unexpectedly assigned to these services. While CARLI staff corrected the problem quickly, users may have experienced an outage longer than 10 minutes while waiting for DNS caching to be updated locally.

For future maintenance of this type, CARLI staff will perform the updates on weekends to avoid any potential unexpected downtime.

On the evening of Friday, May 21, 2021, beginning at 5:30pm, CARLI staff will be relocating the CARLI email server and the CARLI Support ticketing system from a local data center to a cloud-based web host.  Nothing will change about the CARLI email lists or the CARLI Support ticket system; we are simply moving the services to a new location.
 
The email server migration should take approximately 30 minutes.  During the email server migration, email sent to any @carli.illinois.edu email address (including support@carli.illinois.edu) will not be delivered.  
 
The CARLI Support ticketing system migration should take about 12 hours.  During the ticketing system migration, email that is sent to support@carli.illinois.edu to open a new ticket or to add correspondence to existing tickets will be held and delivered once the migration is complete.

Any updates or changes to this schedule will be posted on the CARLI System Status page.

Late today CARLI staff got reports of mainly EBSCOhost electronic collection links not connecting in PrimoVE. Further investigation found that some of the proxy settings were changed to “no” at the full text service level.

To check, go to your Alma and look up EBSCOhost electronic collections. Select one and click on “Collection Editor”

Then to "Additional" tab, then scroll down to Full text service.

Go to full text service  editor, then to linking tab.
Scroll down a little to the proxy section.
Then change the proxy to "yes" and select your default proxy and save.

Steps to get to the full text service level linking tab

CARLI is investigating how these involuntary proxy changes happened.

RESOLVED 7:00pm, Monday, July 27

From 2:53pm until 6:10pm on Monday July 27, the CARLI Support Ticketing System was malfunctioning.  Most new emails to support@carli.illinois.edu were rejected and those that were accepted by the system arrived without any content.  Any emails in reply to an existing ticket sent by library staff to support@carli.illinois.edu were received as "Correspondence added", and any emails that CARLI staff tried to send from the system were sent only with the text "Correspondence added".  CARLI staff will reach out on any tickets that have been affected by this outage to request additional information as needed; however, if you sent an email to CARLI Support on Monday afternoon and did not receive an automatic message reply with a ticket number [CARLI Support #116nnn], please submit your ticket again to support@carli.illinois.edu.  Thank you!

As of approximately 3pm, the CARLI Support Ticketing System is down.  New emails being sent to support@carli.illinois.edu are currently being rejected, CARLI staff are unable to reply to existing tickets, and responses from libraries to existing tickets are not being received.  We are investigating the problem.  Thank you for your patience!
