SagePay Outage - March 25, 2010

This is information to SagePay's outage on the March 25th, 2010.

1. Actual screenshots from their system monitor.



2. What they say is the problem.

Merchants cannot access archived transactions. What this means is that if you are a merchant who does pre-authorisations or any action related to a previous transaction that you cannot use this transaction. This is bad why? Say you identify a transaction that you need to refund as it looks fraudulent. You cannot do so and may get a chargeback because of it.

3. Has it happened before.

Yes. September 2009.

4. Start and end time of the outage.

Start : 14:50:48
End : 15:42:43
Total : 00:51:55
Running Total : 00:51:55

5. What the follow up report stated.

What it looks like they did was failover onto their back-up system. Historical transactions were then not available as it looks like the back-up system does not have any data in it.
