On occasion we need to shut off all updates for all products/branches. This could happen because of a disastrous update scenario, a downtime, or some other unforeseen reason.
Shutting off updates
- Go to the Balrog Admin interface's rules page, VPN is required.
- Find the rule with "Global shut off" in its "Comment" field (eg using the 'Search for anything' box).
- Click the 'Update' button to modify the rule
- Change the priority to "10000" and click the "Save Changes" button
- Remove any filter to double check that shut off rules has highest priority, so that it overrides all other rules
The load balancer will serve cached responses for a few minutes then all responses should be <updates></updates>.
This affects all products, including Firefox, Thunderbird, GMP, SystemAddons, B2G, etc.
Re-enabling
- Go to the Balrog Admin interface's rules page.
- Find the rule with "Global shut off" in its "Comment" field. Change its priority to "1" and click the "Update" button.
