Outage Details

We have received reports of false alerts being sent out for some short interval Snitches. The issue is related to maintenance an upstream provider is performing on our main message bus service that is causing some check-ins to be processed out of order. We've taken an initial step to mitigate the issue but have more work to do to fully address the issue.

RESOLVED 24 days ago - at 04/08/2025 03:26AM

Our primary message bus is still undergoing maintenance and we have implemented all the mitigations that we can without making larger changes. Taking that into consideration and the fact that we have not seen a disruption which would cause out of order processing within the last hour we've decided to close this incident.

MONITORING 24 days ago - at 04/08/2025 01:02AM

We are continuing to monitor the situation as maintenance on our primary message bus continues at our upstream provider. We're currently discussing options for a longer term fix but we expect that fully solving the issue will take longer than it will take for the maintenance to complete.
