Incident Report
Summary AI Generated
PostHog experienced a 15.1-hour event ingestion processing delay caused by a degraded shard during routine maintenance and elevated part counts on ClickHouse, which led to insert rejections and Kafka consumer lag. Events took longer than usual to appear in PostHog apps and queries, though no data was lost during the incident. The root cause was identified and resolved, with ingestion resumed and the backlog processed over approximately 2 hours.

During routine maintenance a shard has entered a degraded state in terms of performance and is causing us to fall behind on ingesting data. We are working to remedy the issue and will report back as soon as we have a remedy in place.

EU event ingestion experienced delays due to elevated part counts on ClickHouse. The high part count caused some insert rejections, leading to Kafka consumer lag on event processing. Replication queues have been restarted and merge backlogs are draining. Part counts are returning to normal.
