Dead Man's Snitch incident

Elevated check-in error rate and timeouts

Resolved after 51 minutes, affecting Snitch Check-in Processing, on June 22, 2022.

resolved Jun 22, 2022, 02:25 PM UTC

Error rates have returned to normal and systems are all green. We've identified the possible root cause as a bug in the version of the message bus client we were using that could cause a deadlock in some cases. We've updated to the latest version of the client and rolled out the update to production.

    We're seeing an increase in timeouts for our check-in service. We've removed a pair of misbehaving nodes from our load balancer and we're investigating the root cause. Any check-in that received a 408 Request Timeout error was not processed.
