Looks like we need to bounce the qTest server. Search is not working and when I click on the re-index button, it throws an error that elastic search service is unavailable. -> We also really need to do an upgrade as we are falling so far behind we may run into trouble trying to upgrade. We are over 20 updates behind. -. -> Chuck Hawley -> OK, first thing... Elasticsearch had died. I restarted the Elasticsearch service. Try your searches again. -> As for the upgrade, ping Steve so I can get that back on my schedule. -> But let me know if the search issue resolves. It may have just needed elasticsearch to be bounced. -. -> Todd Rosenthal -> yep that seems to have fixed it! -> I'll send Steve a slack about the updates. I hope it isn't a nightmare at this point to do it. Fingers crossed. - -So, again, a non-related problem made them think about upgrading. - -This brings us to the conversation you had with Steve the other day. \ No newline at end of file
