Past Incidents

19th May 2020

Github timeouts - intermittent

Some users are experiencing timeouts with Github. This is intermittent and does not apply to all. We are investigating.

  • A temporary workaround has been implemented until the routing issue is fixed upstream.

  • We have reached out to Github to update their Internet2 routing. Until then, github will be inaccessible from all machines in Holyoke (holylogin01-04, all compute nodes).

    Please use boslogin01-04 in the meantime if you need to access Github.
