A minor incident means a feature is degraded, delayed, or under maintenance, but the main wallet and chain experience should still be usable.
Incident Response
Clear updates when Vorliq needs attention
Vorliq uses public incident records, app-wide maintenance banners, and operator alerts so users can see what is happening while the operator works on the underlying system.
How Incidents Work
Public incident records are stored by the backend and shown on the status page and inside the Vorliq web app. Users can read incidents without signing in, while incident creation and updates are protected by an operator-only admin token.
Active incidents are any incidents whose status is not resolved. The public status page shows active incidents and marks the network as a service disruption when any active major or critical incident exists.
Severity Levels
A major incident means important parts of the service are unavailable or unreliable, such as the backend API, chat, forum, or public node operations.
A critical incident means the production node, blockchain API, deployment, or data recovery path needs immediate operator attention.
Where Users Check Status
Users should check status.vorliq.org for public updates. The Vorliq web app also shows a maintenance banner at the top of every page while an active incident exists.
Operator Token
Incident write routes require ADMIN_TOKEN on the production backend. The token must be generated on the server, stored outside the repository, and never committed, printed in logs, or shared publicly.
Create an Incident
Use the protected API to create an incident. Replace ADMIN_TOKEN_HERE with the production admin token on the server or in a private operator shell.
curl -X POST https://vorliq.org/api/incidents \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer ADMIN_TOKEN_HERE" \
-d '{
"title": "Public node is degraded",
"description": "The public API is responding slowly while the operator investigates.",
"severity": "major"
}'Update an Incident
Move an incident through investigating, identified, monitoring, and resolved as the work progresses.
curl -X PATCH https://vorliq.org/api/incidents/INCIDENT_ID_HERE \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer ADMIN_TOKEN_HERE" \
-d '{
"status": "monitoring",
"description": "A fix has been deployed and the operator is watching recovery."
}'Resolve an Incident
Resolve the incident when the service has recovered and no user-facing maintenance banner is needed.
curl -X POST https://vorliq.org/api/incidents/INCIDENT_ID_HERE/resolve \
-H "Authorization: Bearer ADMIN_TOKEN_HERE"
