Resolved

TOPdesk have now resolved the incident. Thanks for your patience.

RESOLVED: Performance / availability issues Incident resolved We can confirm that since our previous update, there have been no further performance "spike", all system checks have returned to normal and the performance issues we were experiencing have been resolved. As this issue appears to be resolved, we will close this Major Incident. We appreciate your patience during this time and apologise for any inconvenience caused.

The evidence gathered during our investigation strongly indicates that the root cause of this issue lies with one of our hosting partners, and we are currently working with them to fully evaluate this issue. We will update this status page with a Root Cause Analysis (RCA) report once in due course, however we are unable to provide a time frame on exactly when this will be published this at this moment in time.

Monitoring - The temporary "spikes" of poor performance mentioned in the previous update have now not occurred for over an hour and our logging indicates normal levels of performance for customers. We are currently monitoring this situation to ensure these issues do not repeat.

At this moment in time the best information we have available indicates that the root cause of this issue lies with one of our hosting partners, however we are continuing to investigate this issue in the background and will provide a further update once we are able to confirm this or have new information to share.

Latest update from TOPdesk:

Update - We're noticing small improvements in the performance of TOPdesk instances based on our monitoring.

However, this might be due to a natural reduction in traffic with TOPdesk related to customers usage.

We are seeing short bursts of slower performance every 30 minutes.

Our sincere apologies for any inconvienience this is causing. Our team is working hard to figure out what's causing this and fix it.

We will aim to update further within the next hour, unless new information comes to light in the meantime Mar 22, 2024 - 14:21 CET
