Server Status Checker Down - Posted By dog199200 (dog199200) on 10th Sep 09 at 2:55am
Your server status checker is down, considering the last time it check to see if the server was running was "Checked 2561 Minutes Ago".

I know. The company who host that server have recently made some kind of update to the software on it which has broken the status checker (I got up the other morning to find some 300 e-mails from the status server telling me it was unable to check any status'). Fortunately we no longer rely on that server for letting us know when there is a problem as a new monitoring system has recently been setup elsewhere. I'm still waiting on the company who host it to find a fix but having seen this I'm going to send them a reminder.

Ah, was just about to say something about this. Maybe hide it for the time being so it doesn't say all the servers are offline?

I've finally heard back from the data centre who have been trying to work out why we've been unable to get it working again. It would appear a security setting had been changed which is blocking the status script from connecting to the other servers.
Since this script is no longer completely responsible for status monitoring I'm not going to rush in getting an updated version online. I agree that hiding it for now would be a good idea.
