Monitoring
etherFAX has reported that fixes have now been rolled out for interim fax status updates and for the “latest connected on” timestamps.
This means some customers may begin to see improvement in status reporting within GFI FaxMaker.
However, the incident is not yet fully resolved, as etherFAX still shows degraded performance affecting its U.S. and Canada API/REST services and their engineering team continues working on the remaining issues.
We will continue monitoring etherFAX’s fix behavior.
