So we have a instance on AWS that runs CouchDB which was down and not accessible until we rebooted the box (which took a long time).
The instance is back up now and I am trying to figure out what went wrong. At the time of the problem, I was not able to ssh into it. I've look at the CouchDB log and /var/log/syslog and nothing is jumping out. Where else can I check to see if there is anything wrong before contacting AWS?
