Minor June 12, 2026 Capabilities created since the 19th of May not receiving emails from third-party vendors 32d 23h Capability provisioning, AAD-AWS-Sync
Started Jun 12, 2026, 12:21 PM UTC· resolved Jul 15, 2026, 11:28 AM UTC
- identified Jun 12, 2026, 12:21 PM UTC
Due to removal of permissions for Exchange Online, we are currently not able to create distribution groups and email aliases. The effects of this is that Capabilities created after that point are unable to receive emails from AWS and other third-party providers. We're awaiting details from the team managing Exchange Online as to why this is now broken..
- resolved Jul 15, 2026, 11:28 AM UTC
Resolved for now.

Minor February 13, 2026 Problematic node on hellman Kubernetes cluster must be killed 28m Kubernetes [Hellman] - Capacity/Scheduling
Started Feb 13, 2026, 12:35 PM UTC· resolved Feb 13, 2026, 01:04 PM UTC
- investigating Feb 13, 2026, 12:35 PM UTC
We are currently investigating this issue.
- identified Feb 13, 2026, 12:37 PM UTC
The node is cordoned off and now marked as unhealthy. Once a new node has been started up, we will start draining all the workloads on this node. The root cause is the kubelet having problems with managing Pod lifecycle, in particular termination, so if draining adds to the problem, all workloads on that node will be forcefully terminated. Downtime can be expected.
- monitoring Feb 13, 2026, 12:46 PM UTC
All workloads on the faulty node have now started up on a new node.
- resolved Feb 13, 2026, 01:04 PM UTC
This incident has been resolved.

- resolved Dec 01, 2025, 01:50 PM UTC
In an attempt to optimise costs for metrics we accidentally ended up not gathering metrics for quite a significant amount of services for a few hours (11:15 CET till 14:40 CET) due to a bug that was triggered by our change. Apologies.

Due to metrics collector going OOM sporadically since yesterday, metrics shipped from Hellman has been partly missing in Grafana Cloud. Working on implementing a fix now.
- monitoring May 29, 2025, 11:32 AM UTC
Fix implemented. Seems stable for now, but without having resolved the root cause I suspect it'll probably happen again. Will keep monitoring it.

Started May 19, 2025, 12:28 PM UTC· resolved May 19, 2025, 12:30 PM UTC
- resolved May 19, 2025, 12:28 PM UTC
A new feature was enabled for build.dfds.cloud mid Friday. Unfortunately something was missing in the production deployment and it caused certain events to not be triggered. In total 6 events has been pending from that time until today 2:15 PM CEST. They are no longer pending, so previously created resources like Kafka topics or Capability membership changes should now have been applied. Apologies for the interruption.

Minor April 8, 2025 metrics: kafka-exporter missing data frequently 1d 23h Kafka metrics exporter
Started Apr 08, 2025, 07:22 AM UTC· resolved Apr 10, 2025, 07:06 AM UTC
- investigating Apr 08, 2025, 07:22 AM UTC
Same as the incident a few weeks ago: https://dfdsit.statuspage.io/incidents/vllndmlym8xd Looking into it. Hopefully a more permanent solution this time. If you have alerts that are currently triggering because of the lack of data from this exporter, a temporary measure could be to set "Alert state if no data or all values are null" to "Keep Last State" for those alerts. It's not ideal, but it's much better than muting/silencing the alert itself. See screenshot: https://blob.juna.seq.tf/pub/vrsWnTTVXk37Srs.jpg
- monitoring Apr 09, 2025, 04:04 PM UTC
A fix has been implemented and we are monitoring the results.
- resolved Apr 10, 2025, 07:06 AM UTC
Since fix was implemented not a single scrape has been missed. Will continue to monitor for the next few days If it becomes problematic again, a different exporter is currently being evaluated to replace the current one.

Started Mar 17, 2025, 06:30 PM UTC· resolved Mar 17, 2025, 06:30 PM UTC
- resolved Mar 18, 2025, 08:44 AM UTC
A configuration change to Traefik which routes http traffic into the Kubernetes cluster caused endpoints that have /api in the path to return 404 not found to requests. The incident was resolved at ~00:30
Minor March 14, 2025 metrics: kafka-exporter missing data often 2h 47m Kafka metrics exporter
Started Mar 14, 2025, 07:53 AM UTC· resolved Mar 14, 2025, 10:40 AM UTC
- investigating Mar 14, 2025, 07:53 AM UTC
Currently looking into metrics from kafka-metrics having no data frequently. Currently the most probable cause is a big increase in consumer groups per topic for a few topics leading to much longer scrape times, resulting in a timeout.
- monitoring Mar 14, 2025, 09:49 AM UTC
Issue seem potentially related to slower response times from Confluent Cloud. This seems to be improving now and the exporter can seemingly reliably export metrics within the set scrape threshold. Will continue to monitor the situation.
- resolved Mar 14, 2025, 10:40 AM UTC
Seems stable... for now.
