Whenever the makes internally gets an exception (most probably because of the server provider API returning an error) we update the Server model with a status errored. We'll consider that this server is not operational, and we'll not count it when determine how many servers we should start, stop or reboot when calling DynamicServers::ensure($number).
We will also fire an event ServerErroredEvent so you can take an appropriate action (sending a notification, manually deleting the server, ...). This event has two properties:
-
$server: the server that is hanging
-
$previousStatus: this can be starting, stopping or rebooting.
