High Event queue count in US SL3

Last update
  1. postmortemOct 22 · 20:53 UTC

    Issue Summary:
    On September 30, 2026, the US SL3 Production environment experienced delays in processing queued operations, resulting in an unusually high volume of events. Affected operations were unable to process at the expected rate, causing events to accumulate in the queue and delaying completion of activities.

    Root Cause:
    The issue was caused by database deadlocks occurring during concurrent data merge operations. When these conflicts occurred, the application attempted to retry the affected operations without sufficiently reducing the batch size of learning objects being processed. This resulted in repeated database conflicts, preventing queued events from being processed efficiently and causing an accumulation of events.

    Corrective Action:
    Cornerstone implemented a fix to improve the application's retry logic and database deadlock handling. The update addressed repeated processing conflicts by adjusting how failed operations are retried, allowing data merge operations to be processed more efficiently.

    Preventive Measures:
    To reduce the risk of a similar issue, Cornerstone has taken the following actions:

    • Enhanced retry handling to reduce batch sizes when processing conflicts occur, minimizing the likelihood of repeated database deadlocks.
    • Improved error handling to ensure database deadlocks are properly identified and managed, preventing repeated attempts to process the same failed operations.

Edge Import and Feed Issue for UK/Met

Last update
  1. postmortemOct 9 · 08:46 UTC

    Incident Summary

    On September 18th users in the UK , MetPol Production and Pilot environments experienced issues accessing the Imports and Feeds functionality.

    Impact

    Affected users were unable to access and manage Imports and Feeds during the incident window, resulting in disruption to the affected functionality.

    Root Cause Analysis (RCA)

    The incident occurred during a planned maintenance activity.

    As part of the maintenance activity, changes were performed on an active host supporting the Imports and Feeds functionality. The activity required a restart of supporting services; however, the restart did not complete as expected for the dependent application workload.

    As a result, a supporting service did not recover as expected, which caused the dependent Imports and Feeds functionality to become temporarily unavailable.

    Resolution

    The affected supporting services were restored to a healthy state and the required recovery activities were completed.

    Following recovery, the dependent services were validated and the Imports and Feeds functionality was tested to confirm that access and normal operation had been restored.

    Preventive Measures

    • Controlled service restart and recovery steps will be incorporated into the maintenance activity to ensure dependent workloads are gracefully handled before supporting components are restarted.
    • Post validation will be strengthened to confirm that all dependent services and application functionality have fully recovered before the activity is considered complete.
