Issue Discovered - Service disruption in North American Region – API

Incident Report for xMatters

Postmortem

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.
