## **Summary** On February 3, 2026, dashboards in the Prod4 environment experienced data-fetch failures following the deployment . The issue was caused by an unintended configuration change prevented dashboard metrics from loading.The issue was identified and mitigated the same day through configuration correction and service redeployment. ## **Impact** * Dashboard metrics failed to load in the Prod4 environment. * Underlying system functionality remained operational. * No data loss occurred. * The issue was limited to dashboard data visibility. ## **Root Cause** A recent update to a shared configuration chart was introduced to support an unrelated migration initiative. This change resulted in authentication failures, preventing services from connecting to the database and loading dashboard data ## **Mitigation** The issue was mitigated through the following steps: * Reverted the shared configuration to restore normal functionality. * Applied an emergency configuration fix to explicitly set the correct values. * Rebuilt and redeployed all affected services across relevant versions. ## **Action Items** To prevent recurrence, the following improvements are being implemented: * Enhance version control mechanisms to prevent automatic adoption of shared configuration changes without explicit service-level upgrades. * Improve configuration precedence logic to ensure safer fallback mechanisms. * Enhance monitoring and validation for all dependency connectivity. * Strengthen regression validation processes for shared configuration changes.
