As you're probably aware, our server colocation facility suffered a massive power outage last night. For more detailed information about the incident, please see our power loss status page.

We have all database clusters back online at this time. We are monitoring the situation to catch any issues that might crop up.

Please contact LiveJournal Support in the event there is anything missing from your journal from before the downtime. We have tools to recover missing data from backups, if necessary. Unfortunately, if you are on the Chef cluster, any updates you made between approximately 5PM PST and 8PM PST were not recorded in the database and have therefore been lost and cannot be recovered.


A running tally of known issues is kept in the large yellow box at the top of the Support page. This list is updated as issues are identified and/or resolved. Additionally, the lj_maintenance journal contains information regarding the latest wave of upgrades.


New: You can now read status messages from your LiveJournal friends page. The status account on LiveJournal only updates if LiveJournal is up and running, so be sure to check back here if you can't get to the site.
