Description
Yesterday evening there 1k 502 errors caused by one user agent from multiple IP addresses. This isn't an uncommon event, I usually don't write them up, but I thought it might be useful for Mathew if I do with this one.

- Add Hours to Ticket changed from 0 to 0.82
- Total Hours set to 0.82
Note: See
TracTickets for help on using
tickets.
The spike is very clear on the munin graphs:
The number of requests made, based on the UA string:
The unique IP addresses:
the total number of IP's:
This UA has been identified as a DDOS tool before.
If it wasn't for the Nginx rate limiting we do this would have brought the server down -- the rate limiting was added following a previous incident like this, see ticket:54.
There are no doubt more defences we could consider putting in place, events like this usually happen several times a month.
