The Labflow engineering team has successfully completed the previously announced scheduled maintenance. ***When*** Scheduled time: Saturday, May 14th, 6:00 am - 9:00 am (Central Time) Actual time: Saturday, May 14th, 6:00 am - 7:40 am (Central Time) ***Impact*** Labflow was offline and completely unavailable to all users (instructors, TAs and students). Only Labflow's maintenance message page was displayed during this time. ***Important Updates*** We have updated how the quiz question list is viewed with this release. The new QUESTIONS tab replaces the old EDIT tab within a quiz. The questions tab will show you the list of questions in the quiz and allow you to switch to a preview mode so you can see the question stem, solution, and explanation for the question. When you first open a quiz now, you will see the new questions tab. The first time you open a quiz with a question pool, you will get a notice asking if you want to update the format of the question pool. Go ahead and change the format of the pool. The new question pool format allows us to more easily manage the questions included. It is important to note this new page will not impact any existing student attempts at the quiz. Initially, we are limiting the functionality available to instructors on this tab. In future releases, we will add more functionality available to you. If you need any help editing your quiz, contact your faculty success manager. We want to thank the instructors who helped us in the design and review of this new page. We hope that this page will help you to review the questions in the quizzes in a more efficient manner.

- Labflow App Outage Time Frame: Start: 02/10/2022 11:18:11 AM End: 02/10/2022 11:45:11 AM Duration: 27 minutes Root Cause: Labflow's underlying database service failed. Labflow's engineering team is working with its database vendor to understand why the database service failed. We will update this incident when more information is available. Remedies: The database service was restarted allowing all Labflow services to become operational again. We do not expect future incidents at this point. Student Impact: Students were unable to access Labflow at this time.

After further investigation with our database vendor, it was concluded that 2 major factors contributed to this outage. 1. Database queries were executed with an unexpected consumption of RAM that resulted in cluster’s primary node restarting. 2. When the primary node failed, the cluster did not fail-over to the secondary node due to a bug in the vendor's cluster software resulting in the cluster disconnecting from Labflow.
