What is going on with Samson? :dunno:
It is down again according to the sever status page. This has happened a few times lately, but FQ doesn't post what the problem is?

SAMSON was hit by a high load spike, which caused the Server Guardian to kick in. The Server Guardian takes CGI offline for a few moments and if the loads are high enough, Apache also goes offline.

This is to allow the server a chance to recover instead of crashing and needing a full reboot. Normally this results in about 2 minutes of CGI being offline. However, this time Apache was also offline. 5 minutes.

All is back to normal now.

We have noticed that SAMSON has had some issues lately, and we are monitoring the situation.
