Start Time: 7 p.m.

The following work is being completed: Linux systems managed by Information Technology Services will be updated to include newly released patches. As part of these updates, individual systems may need to be rebooted.

All affected processes: Processes that use ITS Linux services, including smtp.wsu.edu, Shibboleth authentication, ITS monitoring (Zabbix), Splunk services, and the University communications web servers (wsu.edu and others) may be impacted.

All affected groups: Entire WSU community

Duration of impact: Services may be unavailable for several minutes as servers are rebooted. Those services using redundant servers to provide additional availability should expect no user impact.
