IDENTIFIED about 13 hours ago - at 12/07/2025 08:23PM

Our Kafka cluster is still operational and we are continuing to work towards restoring full reliability. We will resume work during business hours to restore full Activity Log functionality. We will continue to update as work progresses.

IDENTIFIED 1 day ago - at 12/07/2025 02:18AM

The Kafka cluster is still operational, but is not back to full capacity and resiliency. Work will continue tomorrow to ensure sufficient capacity, as well as during business hours to resume full Activity Log functionality. We will provide more updates tomorrow and as-needed if there are any changes to availability.

IDENTIFIED 1 day ago - at 12/07/2025 12:10AM

We have gotten the Kafka cluster to a stable-enough state, however it will still require remediation before the Activity Log is fully functional and it is back to a level of service sustainable until business hours. We will provide another update in 2 hours or as the situation changes.

IDENTIFIED 1 day ago - at 12/06/2025 10:08PM

Ingest has been fully re-enabled, and SLOs and Triggers are now up-to-date.

IDENTIFIED 1 day ago - at 12/06/2025 09:51PM

We have resumed ingest to api.eu1.honeycomb.io as we were able to restore partial service to the Kafka cluster.

INVESTIGATING 1 day ago - at 12/06/2025 09:23PM

We are continuing to investigate issues with the Kafka cluster. We will continue providing updates every 2 hours unless there are significant changes.

External API access is restored, event ingestion is still impacted

INVESTIGATING 2 days ago - at 12/06/2025 03:19PM

We have temporarily disabled event ingestion for the EU Region, in service of restoring full functionality to our EU Kafka fleet. External API access will also be disabled. Additionally, during the ongoing outage, our Service Level Objectives feature has been impacted and down since 12:30 PM Pacific time on Friday, December 5th. SLO data will not be correct until our systems catch up and we rebuild the cache

INVESTIGATING 2 days ago - at 12/06/2025 07:30AM

Automated systems are still working to catch up and Activity Log will remain offline until that that completes. We will post another update Saturday whether or not the Activity Log outage has been remediated.

INVESTIGATING 2 days ago - at 12/06/2025 12:04AM

Ingest, querying, SLOs, and Trigger alerting is back to normal. Activity Log is still impacted, we have identified the cause and are working to resolve. We are still evaluating the scope of the outage for ingest and expect to have a full answer for that posted during US business hours on Monday.
We will post at least one more update this evening.

INVESTIGATING 2 days ago - at 12/05/2025 11:46PM

We are continuing the investigation after business hours to stabilize ingest and determine what work will be needed to fully recover. Known impact will be updated here as the situation changes. We will post at least one more update this evening.

INVESTIGATING 2 days ago - at 12/05/2025 10:33PM

We have identified that 0.23% of datasets are fully affected, and a larger percentage are seeing intermittent ingestion and query failures (500s at the API level). We are also investigating a replication error in our ingestion pipeline.

INVESTIGATING 3 days ago - at 12/05/2025 09:19PM

A subset of customer environments may see higher than usual error rates when sending events to api.eu1.honeycomb.io, and notifications for SLOs and Triggers may be delayed for that subset. We are continuing to investigate the issue.
