Sonar Server Maintenance Sonar Server will be going down for maintenance at 1:00 AM (5/30/2025 1:00 AM) The purpose of this maintenance are v0.7.2.0 and server updates.

Update 9:12pm EST: Sonar server is back online, I'll be monitoring during the next few minutes to ensure everything's good. Update 9:22pm EST: Server maintenance completed. (edited)

Regarding Sonar Usage during patch time This is a reminder that usage of Sonar... or Dalamud in general, is at your own risk Dalamud has to go throughout changes every patch before its stable for general usage. This include updating memory signatures and all other necessary changes for hooking the game properly and ensuring stability. As such, no support will be provided should things go wrong, wait for official release. You can follow its status through their discord or you can see the followed posts at #dalamud-patch-status. You can also join for beta testing through their discord during the times its open (right now as a matter of policy they're not accepting beta testers). This is however still considered at your own risk as things are still being ironed out, reason they're testing in the first place. https://discord.com/invite/holdshift (edited)

Sonar Server Restart Sonar server will be restarted at 4:00 PM (5/10/2025 4:00 PM) The purpose of this restart are backend changes. There are no user-facing changes.

Update 11:59am EST: Server is now being restarted Update 12:00am EST: Restart successful, I'll be monitoring during the next few minutes to ensure everything's working as expected. Update 12:51am EST: Server maintenance completed (20 minutes ago, blame red alert) (edited)

SonarPlugin Updated (v0.7.1.5) Cosmic Exploration Sinus Ardorum fates can now appear through the fates list. Only progression / expansion fates are available. Red alerts and Mech ops are not available. Heads up notice for Occulist Depending on how their fates are implemented, if any, Sonar may not be able to track all of them, similar to Bozja. This information is not yet available on the game files so another update will be released once content is available. Update Availability This update will be available once the following PR is merged:

Global: https://github.com/goatcorp/DalamudPluginsD17/pull/6056 This update is not compatible with CN and KR.

Sonar Server Maintenance Sonar Server will be going down for maintenance at 6:00 AM (4/27/2025 6:00 AM). The purpose of this maintenance is the addition of Cosmic Exploration progression / completion fates. This maintenance is expected to take about 5 minutes, however a 1 hour window has been reserved, will keep us updated as usual. This maintenance may be delayed.

Sonar Server Emergency Maintenance Sonar server will be going down for maintenance at 12:10 AM (4/12/2025 12:10 AM) The purpose of this maintenance is to fix the aforementioned bug. Due to the nature of this bug maintenance may go earlier than 8:10pm, whenever the build is ready. While I do not expect any issues, keep in mind that this maintenance has a 1 hour window as usual. I'll keep us updated as usual. No SonarPlugin update is needed at this time. (edit: v0.7.1.4 is released to the Sonar repo as a side effect of this maintenance. No user-facing changes) Update 8:04pm EST: Sonar server is going down for maintenance Update 8:06pm EST: Server is back online, I'll be monitoring during the next few minutes to ensure smooth operations Update 8:18pm EST: Server maintenance completed. I'll be here for a while longer so let me know if there any issues. As explained in #support , I had to change the affected server logic quite a bit. I'm in the hopes I didn't break anything however as with any big changes there's always a chance of having messed something up, so if there's are any issues let me know. Apologies for inconveniences caused by this bug. (edited)

Letting us know I'm aware of a bug causing Sonar to stop working after world traveling I'm currently working on a fix but it seems I have to change a few things, this will take a while This is a completely server-side bug and therefore a SonarPlugin update won't be needed. In the meantime you can work around this bug by reconnecting
/sonarconfig -> Debug tab -> Reconnect Apologies for inconveniences caused.
This bug also happens when relogging as well. This has been fixed (edited)

SonarPlugin Updated (v0.7.1.2) Startup Crash This update attempt to fix rare crash occurring with some of our users. Due to very little information gathered about the crashes I cannot confirm if this fix will work, however I done my best to avoid the possible causes.

SonarPlugin Crashes on Startup I'm currently investigating a mysterious crash that's happening to a very small number of people during startup At this time I do not have anything definitive as of yet, so I'd like to request logs to be sent to me, and if possible any related Event Viewer output My current best guess so far seems to be something deep within the .NET libraries, something is triggering a double-free Let me know your setup as well, such as your Windows version and CPU You can send these at #support, tickets or DMs edit For discord servers following this announcement channel:

Sonar Server Maintenance Sonar server will be going down for maintenance starting at 4:00 PM (3/17/2025 4:00 PM) and will be down for approximately 1-2 hours. The purpose of this maintenance are major backend changes, which includes updating to PostgreSQL 17. While I technically do not expect for this to take long, due to the amount of data (history data) and nature of the changes I'm reserving a 2 hour window. I intend to make some history related queries available to us in a future update via a Discord bot. No plugin updates are needed at this time. I'll keep us updated as usual. Update 10:18am EST: v0.6.9.2 is available in the Sonar repo as a side-effect of the server updates, however there are no user facing changes. Update 12:00pm EST: Server is going down for maintenance. Update 2:00pm EST: Taking longer than expected due to additional steps but I should be done shortly. Update 2:09pm EST: Sonar server is now back online, I'll be monitoring for the next few minutes to ensure smooth operations Update 2:28pm EST: Server maintenance completed. (edited)

Sonar Server Maintenance Sonar server will be going down for maintenance starting at 7:00 PM (3/9/2025 7:00 PM) The purpose of this maintenance are backend host changes. Additionally, a new recovery features for relay information has been added. This will work for relays that's been cleaned up after some period of them not being seen and will therefore be rare to see happening. Cleanup is set to about 1 month. While I do not expect major issues this maintenance, expect a 1 hour window. I'll keep us updated as usual. Update 3:01pm EST: Sonar server is going down for maintenance Update 3:08pm EST: Server is back online, I'll be monitoring during the next few minutes to ensure everything's running smoothly Update 3:10pm EST: New recovery feature errored out, sonar is up but needs another restart once I push a fix. Will let us know of time. Update 3:31pm EST: Next restart set to 3:45pm, 14 minutes from now. Update 3:44pm EST: Server is being restarted -# as usual discord rate limits occurred here Update 3:45pm EST: Server restart successful, I'll be monitoring during the next few minutes to ensure everything's running smoothly Update 3:58pm EST: Server maintenance completed So apparently its not as rare as I thought, although still rare it seem to happen with some frequency. Once this happen you may still see the 1970 dates for a short period as this happen completely asynchronously before being updated with the last known times from history. Relay data requests will not show these entries as they're "forgotten" by the server (as part of the cleanup process) (edited)
