History Beta not loading
Opened this issue · 8 comments
I would like to see the beta website return to operation as it's the only suitable site I know to show useful information for identifying local changes to OSM that I can become aware of and verify. It currently fails to load in Firefox or IE11 due to timeout of owl.openstreetmap.org.
It looks like zark (the machine where OWL runs) is down, not sure why.
There are some cooling issues in the server room.
History doesn't load for, I don't know, months?
Zark (the server where OWL runs) is turned off right now. It will be enabled again when new version of OWL is ready (date is same as always: WIR).
Would it be impolite to ask that you change the green "Update in progress" line to red "OWL server is offline" in the meantime? :-)
Can we (or anyone else) help to provide a VM instead of Zark?
Sure, I will update the status later today. VM is not an option since OWL is extremely I/O-hungry so I don't see anything less than a quite powerful physical server with 2-3 TB of fast SSD storage being up to the task.
Have you tried flashcache'ing it? I guess most requests use only the recent data which should be fractional part of the whole db.
OWL API will be back as soon as there is a server machine up and running for it. Should be quite soon.
