  • Root Cause: The failure was due to a recent deployment to one of the backend instances of our service to become unhealthy leading to a backlog of data to be processed.

We understand that customers rely on Azure Log Analytics as a critical service and apologize for any impact this incident caused.

Root cause has been isolated to an outage in a backend system which caused ingested data to back up and not be processed. To address this issue, the backend team has rolled back the deployment Azure Log Analytics is now working as expected , though ingestion data is still backed up and data sent to the system which got stuck. Some customers using Azure Log Analytics, Log Search Alerts & Azure Sentinels services may experience intermittent log data gaps and/or incorrect alert activation and/or latency. We estimate 2 hours before all log data gaps and/or incorrect alert activation and/or latency is addressed.
