Report: "IZ1 Inbound Calling Impact"

Last update
resolved

The primary service incident that began earlier today is resolved. We understand this has been an extended disruption and sincerely apologize for the impact this had on your operations throughout the day. We appreciate your patience and understanding. While the main issue is resolved, there is a remaining defect where some call recordings are not immediately accessible through the Insights user interface or the contact card. Our team is actively working on the final remediation steps for this. We anticipate that all call recordings will be fully accessible by the end of today. Should you require immediate access to a specific call recording before it becomes available in the UI, please open a request with our Care team. They will be able to retrieve the recording for you. Thank you again for your continued patience.

Report: "VCX Inbound Routing Availability Issues - IZ1"

Last update
resolved

This issue has been resolved.

monitoring

The fix has been deployed and we are observing recovery. We will monitor resolution for the next 15 minutes. If you have changed your call flow to workaround this issue, you are safe to restore to previous configuration.

identified

Our Dev Team has identified the underlying issue and are in the process of validating a fix. We are actively working to implement their corrective actions to our Production system and begin additional testing measures to confirm recovery.

investigating

Our development/infrastructure teams continue to work through various troubleshooting tasks, in an effort to directly resolve the underlying issue or identify a way to workaround the communication problem impacting VCX functionality.

investigating

We are still actively troubleshooting/testing various changes in our infrastructure - to attempt to restore functionality or divert traffic around the portion of the system that is having an issue interacting with VCX processing functionality.

investigating

While our removal of 2 anomalous servers has reduced the volume error tracing in our system logs, we're still seeing continued impact on the portion of our infrastructure that is responsible for integrating call traffic with VCX functionality. Our Dev Team is currently pursuing options to standup new infrastructure or find ways to redirect traffic around the failing communication path, in order to reach the portion of our network hosting VCX projects.

investigating

In our efforts to drive recovery, we're removing 2 specific servers that present a different behavior pattern than others in our infrastructure - indicating they could be consuming resourcing and locking up communication paths with the servers/processes that host VCX functionality (denying their use to other services, calls, etc that are trying to interact with a VCX project). We're continuing to work towards resolution, and are pursuing all available options to correct this misbehavior.

investigating

Our Dev Team is continuing to health-check various system services and devices within our network, in order to systematically rule out items that could be contributing to the communication/port-traversal issue that is preventing call traffic from processing through to a VCX project. Additional infrastructure is being stood up in an attempt to rule out any sort of corrupted device/service from the equation. Further updates will be posted after we're able to divert traffic within our network and run diagnostic tests.

investigating

Our Dev Operations team has identified an area of contention; where network communication isn't happening in the expected fashion over certain port ranges that are necessary for VCX functionality. We are still actively investigating the issue and have a specific area of misbehavior we're focus our troubleshooting efforts on. Further information will be shared when we take action to correct the network communication block/availability issue.

investigating

In an attempt to restore functionality, our Dev Operations/Infrastructure team has been restarting impacted services aligned with VCX functionality (in parallel with reviewing examples, system logging, etc to identify the underlying cause). Further information will be posted to this status page - regarding our continued efforts to correct the misbehavior as quickly as possible for IZ1-based customers.

investigating

We're aware of a misbehavior that surfaced at approximately 12:30PM Eastern for IZ1-based customers; where Inbound Routing -- that is dependent on VCX project availability -- is failing to properly hand-off call traffic. Our Development Operations team has been engaged and we're actively investigating the issue.

Report: "Agents experiencing issues handling interactions within Sharpen Q"

Last update
resolved

This incident is fully resolved.

monitoring

We are now seeing some inbound email interactions routing. They appear to be processing through a backlog. Realtime delivery is not yet functioning as expected. We will update this page when realtime delivery is confirmed.

identified

We are continuing to see sustained recovery for most Sharpen Q operations. Inbound email continues to be impacted. Outbound email works as expected. We will continue to work towards full recovery.

monitoring

A fix has been introduced by AWS and we're seeing initial recovery. We are validating full recovery and will post another update when we are confident all service has been restored.

identified

AWS investigation continues with a confirmed root cause, but recovery is not yet established. We are continuing our pursuit of resolution with AWS.

identified

A path to service restoration has been confirmed by AWS and recovery processes are underway. We continue to be in direct contact with our representatives at AWS and will update with a timeline as they provide more details.

identified

AWS has confirmed that the root cause for this event has been found. Corrective measures are being discussed and we expect an ETA on service restoration shortly. More info to come.

identified

AWS has confirmed an issue with at least the Lamda service. Sharpen Q operations depend on Lamda. As a result, the majority of Sharpen Q interaction related activities are subject to failure. Inbound IVR calls, ring groups, external transfers, and calls to and from Connect licensed users are not impacted by this service disruption. These functions may be used as workarounds as this investigation continues. We continue to have all necessary resources engaged and are pursuing all feasible recovery options.

identified

Agents may be experiencing several varying behaviors within Sharpen Q. We have the fault zone isolated in correlation to events within the AWS indicating a likely failure point within the AWS infrastructure. We are engaged with all necessary Sharpen and AWS resources to restore service as soon as possible.

investigating

Agents may be experiencing several varying behaviors within Sharpen Q. This behavior is currently under investigation. We'll post an update shortly on our findings.
