**What happened?**  On July 1st, 2026, some customers reported an issue to xMatters Customer Support where they were encountering authentication errors when accessing the web user interface.  **Why did it happen?**  This issue occurred because a database cluster reached 100% resource utilization, causing database requests to time out. An exceptional traffic pattern exposed a set of slow-running queries, which significantly increased query latency on the cluster. As latency increased, there was resource starvation and further degradation of the cluster's responsiveness, resulting in timeouts.  **How did we respond?**  As soon as Customer Support confirmed the issue, they engaged the Engineering teams to investigate. As designed, the system had restored itself before Engineering could implement any mitigation or recovery actions, but the teams were still able to identify and isolate the root cause.  **What are we doing to prevent it from happening again?**  To prevent this issue from reoccurring, the Engineering Team designed, developed, and tested a fix. They deployed the fix in the morning of Wednesday, July 8th, 2026, and it has been successfully implemented for all instances.

**What happened?**  On May 1st, 2026, some customers reported an issue to xMatters Customer Support where attempting to send a message via the web user interface or viewing an alert on the Alerts report resulted in an error being displayed. The issue only affected the Reporting functions in the EMEA region; the system continued to accept signals, generate alerts, and send notifications across all regions.  **Why did it happen?**  The issue occurred when, during routine database maintenance, the database called a mismatched version of the library, resulting in an internal database error. The version mismatch within the cluster was traced to a prior database engine upgrade where a subset of replica nodes did not restart into the upgraded version. At no point was there any risk to data integrity.  **How did we respond?**  As soon as Customer Support confirmed the issue, they engaged the Engineering teams, who were able to identify the root cause and restore version consistency across all nodes. The teams validated stability and confirmed that all services were restored.  **What are we doing to prevent it from happening again?**  The Engineering Team has added explicit post-upgrade verification checks and monitoring to ensure node alignment is confirmed and maintained. This will provide safeguards to ensure node version alignment after upgrades and prevent this issue from reoccurring.

**What happened?**  On April 1st, 2026, some customers reported an issue to xMatters Customer Support where the Alerts or Notifications reports were timing out and failing to load.  **Why did it happen?**  This issue occurred because a backend service was experiencing significant unexpected load that caused report processing to be delayed. The ongoing resource constraint resulted in timeouts.  **How did we respond?**  As soon as customers reported an issue, Customer Support launched an investigation and escalated to the Engineering teams. The teams initiated rolling restart procedures for the applicable backend services to restore functionality. Once the rolling restart was completed, service was fully restored.  **What are we doing to prevent it from happening again?**  The Engineering teams are currently working to identify any possible bottlenecks that may have caused performance issues. In the interim, they have increased and adjusted resource allocation for several services to handle potential processing delays and prevent potential recurrences.

**What happened?**  On March 10th, 2026, some customers reported an issue to xMatters Customer Support where they were encountering a 404 error page when attempting to log in to their instances via SSO. Some users may also have encountered a “We’ve run into a problem while retrieving your data.” error message.  **Why did it happen?**  This issue occurred during a routine maintenance update to the xMatters platform. Although several components of the platform were updated, specific configurations of the component related to SSO-based authentication conflicted with the update and resulted in 404 errors. This issue was limited to those few customers that had specific criteria set for their SSO configuration.  **How did we respond?**  As soon as customers reported the issue, Customer Support verified the issue and escalated immediately to Engineering. The team traced the issue to the maintenance deployment and initiated rollback procedures to restore functionality. Once the rollback was completed, the 404 errors ceased and service was confirmed restored.  **What are we doing to prevent it from happening again?**  The Engineering teams have implemented additional testing for any configuration criteria related to the SSO-based authentication component. In addition, they have begun working on an improved maintenance plan to prevent further issues that could occur during similar deployments.
