Resolved - Our Engineering team has confirmed the resolution of the issue affecting certain Droplet metrics in the BLR1 region. Users should no longer see intermittent gaps in monitoring graphs for Droplets in the BLR1 region.
We appreciate your patience and apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.
May 8, 01:26 UTC
Monitoring - Our Engineering team has implemented a fix to address the intermittent unavailability of Droplet metrics and delayed Resource Alerts in the BLR1 region.
Our team is now and monitoring the results and will continue to do so for an extended period to ensure this sporadic issue is addressed by the implemented fix.
At this time, we expect users not to experience further metrics gaps or delays in alerts.
We will post an update as soon as we confirm this incident is fully resolved or once we have further information. Thank you for your patience.
May 7, 22:04 UTC
Update - Our Engineering team is continuing to investigate the root cause of the issue with intermittent unavailability of Droplet metrics in the BLR1 region. Multiple reproduction efforts and testing against potential root causes are underway. Due to the sporadic nature of the issue, we anticipate incident updates for this issue to be less frequent, but we will share new information as soon as it is available.
At this time, users impacted by this incident will experience intermittent gaps in monitoring graphs for Droplets in BLR1, as well as delayed notifications for Resource Alerts (for any resources in BLR1).
We apologize for the inconvenience, and we'll share an update once we have more information.

Completed - The scheduled maintenance has been completed.
May 7, 20:00 UTC
In progress - Scheduled maintenance is currently in progress. We will provide updates as necessary.
May 4, 20:10 UTC
Scheduled - Start: 2025-05-07 20:00 UTC
End: 2025-05-07 23:00 UTC
During the above window, our Networking team will be making changes to the core networking infrastructure to improve performance and scalability in the LON1 region.
Expected impact:
During the maintenance window, users may experience delays or failures with event processing for a brief duration on Droplets and Droplet-based services, including Droplets, Managed Kubernetes, Load Balancers, Container Registry, and App Platform. We will endeavor to keep this to a minimum for the duration of the change.
