We identified the cause. A fault in our scheduling layer dispatched check runs too late, so the runs expired before the affected probe locations could start them. This is why the locations produced no results and sent no alerts. We are applying a correction to the scheduling layer and we are clearing the affected runs. Checks from all other locations continue to operate normally. We will give an update in 30 minutes.
- resolved Aug 17, 2026, 09:17 AM UTC
We have doubled capacity of our scheduling layer to keep up with an increasing load of active check runs. The system is back to normal
