Overnight Sync Has No New Run

The 02:00 content sync never published, and product pages are still showing yesterday's prices.

Briefing

The host that runs the nightly content sync was rebuilt from the base image on Monday.

cron itself is running, and the sync script is still in /usr/local/bin with its execute bit set.

The first theory in the channel is that the script's publish step is failing quietly.

The fix is yours to find: hints, the recovery checks and the debrief unlock inside the incident.

How it plays

  1. 01

    Get paged

    The alert fires and the clock starts. Read the page and the briefing.

  2. 02

    Investigate

    Work in a simulated shell with realistic output: logs, configs, services.

  3. 03

    Fix it

    Change the system the way you would in production. Hints are there if you get stuck.

  4. 04

    Prove it

    Automated checks verify the recovery, then the debrief explains what happened.
