Weird UOG Behavior

[nitz]

Hey Red, first of all, thanks for the great work regarding the website, UOG helped me a lot back in the days to increase my server's population and it's great community, unfortunately due major RL issues I had to stop everything in 2007 which was heart breaking.

Since last year I've been trying to get back and I was happily surprised to find a new UOG! I am not sure how is the UO gaming nowadays but I this is certainly important to keep alternative shards alive allowing players to find us easily.

UOG has been working great for me but now I have transfered my shard from my testing machine to an actual server and since then UOG has been acting weirdly.

I see the shard poller logging in and out but still shows my shard offline, sometimes it's back online with <20ms ping and sometimes nearly 2000ms ending up in a time out and offline again.

I have monitored my shard for the last couple of days and it's working great here, no lag, connectivity or performance issues. Is this an issue with my shard or UOG itself?



Thank you.

Hard to tell, but could possibly be that the DNS on our side had not propagated yet.  So the poller was still trying to reach the old IP. 

The ping is kinda for fun purposes but not to be taken too seriously, as currently the server is very overloaded so it could actually be cpu latency causing the ping spikes.  At some point I do want to upgrade to a higher end server, but don't have the funds yet.  I don't want to shell out more per month for more ram/cpu, rather save up to build a server and then colo it.

One good way to confirm if ping spikes are on our side is to check the other shard stats to see if they look similar at those times.
