Now that I’m awake right when this has happened, I can’t login to the server via SSH. I would normally raise an emergency ticket with the hosting company [1], but given the history, I’m almost interested to see if it is back up for me in a few hours.

I had to raise an emergency ticket because this time the entire server was unreachable.

Nagios only reports DNS as being down, which isn’t right.

I’ll have to look at the logs and see what sense I can make out of them, but for now there are domestic jobs to do!
