Today a full run of the apis without problems.

Ok, another patch to the XML API has been deployed. I'd be keen to know everyone's experience from after 16:30UTC today is like.

Not surprising :) In the past the most logs we've received in a 1 hour period was around 3.5 million rows... after today's patch i'm seeing 7.2 million for the exact same 1 hour timeframe (we measure DB baseline's at the same time each day).

MUCH faster log inserting = way more logs being inserted

hurray!

glad to hear IS!

I can confirm it is happening to me also.
My logs show everything working fine every 20 mins up til downtime and then its dead from then onwards.

If I view the XML returned to my server I get:

Server Error in '/' Application.

Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Just to confirm that my script has not changed and I have full success logs going back for a few days.

I am getting the string as curl ill just have to filter out the rest of the .net page they return in the string as you say.
I do dislike having to do that as it adds work for the server but C'est la vie.
Thanks for the link, saves me having to work out the php hehe

If you're using curl, set a curl option to include a user-agent string, e.g. in PHP:

     curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, 'YourServiceName/YourVersion (SomeDescription)');

where $ch is the variable holding the result from using curl_init().

And the problem magically goes away. Thanks to Miranda Ka for the pointer.
