ObjectRocket is experiencing an active issue:
http://status.objectrocket.com/
We use ObjectRocket for session state of chat widgets.
ObjectRocket did not yet provide an ETA. We are actively monitoring.
Update 8/6/2018 15:09 ObjectRocket is still having issues affecting Embedded Chat and Notification systems. We continue to check with RackSpace on the ETA. Stay tuned. Thank you for your patience!
Update from ObjectRocket 8/6/2018 15:37: Update: We have identified the issue and are working to roll out the fix in ORD to the impacted Redis instances. We'll update again when the issue is fully resolved.
Update from ObjectRocket 8/6/2018 15:51: Update: We are still actively working on this Redis issue and our original fix was insufficient. We are still working to resolve this incident and will keep you updated here.
Update from ObjectRocket 8/6/2018 18:40: [Identified] Engineers have identified one source of the issue, and are working to resolve it. During this time it may appear that instances are fully available, but intermittent connectivity issues are expected as they work towards solidifying the solution.
Embedded chat should now begin working. We continue to monitor.
We rolled out our own fleet of servers to handle session state and all systems are now operational.
We will keep ObjectRocket as a backup source for redundancy so issues like this are mitigated in a timely manner.
Very sorry for the inconvenience caused and thank you for your patience.
