Servers Damaged (Mostly affecting LMO ?)

[cutty]

A fire early today has destroyed one of OVHcloud’s Strasbourg data centres and part of a second one, the French cloud provider’s CEO, Octave Klaba, wrote in a tweet. He confirmed that all the people working at the site were safe.
OVHcloud is the biggest European-based cloud services provider, competing against U.S. giants Amazon Web Services, Microsoft’s Azure and Google Cloud, which dominate the market.

Major issues with our adjunct, lightningmaps.org.
Info is LMO will be offline for several days.

BT servers seem ok at this Posting time.

LightningMaps.org had two servers there and both are gone forever. They literally moved to the cloud. One of the server was mainly a backup server, but the other one was a productive server. We have a second backup ("tier 3"), which takes much longer to restore. Some of the services have already been moved on other servers at other locations/hosters. The live map is running since 10:00 UTC. Other services like the archive will be restored within the coming days.

Blitzortung.org, the station network and lightning locating wasn't affected.

Hi Tobi,

is the LMO service "lightning archive, maps and animations" also gone forever, or can it be restored ?
I would be very disappointed if this long time data (e.g. spatial lightning distribution) was lost in the fire.

Maybe ... but there may be another issue:
If you are station 804 Muurame (RED )Finland
Europe 1
Running ... so the Blitzortung server sees your station
BUT the server has received NO signals from 804 since
2019-06-03 16:50
which means you likely are NOT in the LMO database, and there is no signal data to download from the Blitzortung database either.

Thanks for quick reply,
I now understand that these errors concerns that still unsolved issue:
https://forum.blitzortung.org/showthread.php?tid=2957

I have also set up some email alarms of lightnings in Finland area. Today was lightnings, but haven't got any email about that. I worked fine until  2020-11-19 18:52:21 EET (No lightnings in wintertime). Could the problem be due to a fire accident?

Hello everyone
Following the OVH fire it seems that the data is starting to go back to https://www.lightningmaps.org/.
The data is very weird, because I now have two red s2401 detectors to display, one which is active, the other which does not return the data !!! However, I only have one RED detector.
The Blue s2783 detector also does not send any data back to the OVH server, however my two detectors are connected to the servers with the same connection ip !!!!
When I look at the detectors in my country, many no longer report their data received ...

Does anyone have any solutions? Or wait until the server data received on OVH is more accurate ...

thank you to all of you.

Patrick.

Patrick,

Well, that's the best news I've heard since the fire!!!

I think that we have to wait until the server data received on the server that replaced OVH's is more accurate. Patience, everyone.

Hi mike
I still don't understand how I can have two lines of statistics on the same S2401 detectors and depending on how I connect to https://www.lightningmaps.org/ my detector s2401 information is either Active with received data or active without data received !!!! (same for the s2783 detector active but no data reception)
  see photo 1 attached
If I connect with the identifiers of my blue s2783 detector, I only have one red detector but no data received .... see photo 2 in attachment

Can someone help me understand this quirk ....

You see bad data because you persist in reading Lightningmaps.org.  The LMO database hasn't synced properly with Blitzortung for about 2 years now. That's why. There are numerous posts relating to this.
