A network engineer is working on the problem now.

The same problem has occurred as of approximately 8:40 AM US Eastern time. The problem is being worked on.

It is some kind of firewall issue we are told.

The Sierra Chart Exchange Data Feed is down again.

There is an intermittent problem that is being worked on now.

It is a firewall issue on the Barchart network.

It will be resolved as soon as possible.

To use the data feed provided by your Trading service you need to uncheck Global Settings >> Data/Trade Service Settings >> Allow Support for Sierra Chart Data Feeds .

Reconnect to the data feed with the File >> Disconnect and File >> Connect To Data Feed commands, after changing the setting.

Update: The problem is due to a firewall device on the network in the data center. They are working on resolving it now. This issue is occurring within the Barchart Data center rack where our servers are located. We will be providing complete details as soon as possible.

Update on the problem:

We are told there is a failure of a device on the network in the data center and a technician is resolving it now.

The resolution is going to be delayed a little longer because they physically have to go to the data center.

Thank you

Is there a place Sierra users can sign up to receive email or TXT alerts to serious problems like this?
[2014-07-14 14:24:06]
Sierra Chart Engineering - Posts: 104368
No there is not. However, since you have posted in this thread, when we do update this thread, you will receive email notifications.

Also, a problem like this is very rare.

It is most important that we are aware of the problem immediately when it happens and then we take action on it. We became aware of the problem within a minute of it occurring. So we are not waiting for anyone to contact us or call us.

The problem is there is a faulty firewall device in the Barchart network that we use. A technician had to physically go to the data center to work on this. So this is the reason for the delay. We are currently awaiting the problem to be resolved.

We really do apologize for this. Unfortunately, we are at the at the mercy of the Barchart network and data center rack we are located in.

This is really quite unusual though.

We need to discuss with them redundancy after this incident is resolved.
