A malfunction that shut down all of Toyota Motor's assembly plants in Japan for about a day last week occurred because some servers used to process parts orders became unavailable after maintenance procedures, the company said.
I used to do some freelance work years ago and I had a number of customers who operated assembly lines. I specialized in emergency database restoration, and the assembly line folks were my favorite customers. They know how much it costs them for every hour of downtime, and never balked at my rates and minimums.
The majority of the time the outages were due to failure to follow basic maintenance, and log files eating up storage space was a common culprit.
So yes, I wouldn’t be surprised at all if the problem was something called out by the local IT, but were overruled for one reason or another.
and log files eating up storage space was a common culprit.
Another classic symptom of poorly maintained software.
Constant announcements of trivial nonsense, like [INFO]: Sum(1, 1) - got result 2! filling up disks.
I don’t know if the systems you’re talking about are like this, but it wouldn’t surprise me!
You gotta forward that to Spunk so your logs ain’t filling up the server generating them. Plus you can set up automated alerts for when the result stops being 2.

I think you missed a letter…
I always make sure my logs are covered by Spunk.
spunking my logs is one of my favorite pass times
Big SplunkMissed letter? You mean Big Spunk, right?And yet that’s probably there because sometime, somewhere, it returned 1.9 or 2.00001 or some such nonsense.
1 + 1 = 2.000001 for sufficiently large (but not by much) values of 1.
this is software speciifcally for assembly line management?
There is specific software for everything
