The Ethernet cables were leaking. There are 1’s and 0’s all over the server room floor. 
It should be OK now.

I was using binary today to tell my much younger colleague how many tins of Quality Street to hand up to me at work today. Thankfully the most I required at any one time was 100.

Actually I performed one of the two guaranteed IT fixes. These are either:
“Percussive maintenance” where you give it a good slap.
“Reset the uptime to zero” where you switch it off and on again.
The second one worked

Here is the last 6 hours traffic graph for one of the two servers. At about 1905 the traffic starts to rise (marked as 1) this is when the other server started not to work as expected. It handled fewer requests so the this server picked up the slack.
At point 2 the second server got fed up doing all the work and went on strike!
At point 3 I restarted both of the servers and normal service was resumed.

Here’s what the leak looked like. Pluggable, yes, but never sweep up the spilled numbers for reuse. The dust pan has bits of dirt, and the result will be noisy and buggy code… Elliott, K6EL

Is the spike in traffic at 1 normal?

Yes. There are 2 API servers behind a load balancer. One API server started to take longer to respond and so processed fewer API calls. The load balancer started feeding more requests to the other server. At point 2, the second server became unresponsive. I didn’t look for any causes in the logs, I just restarted the two API jobs.
