Investigating
We are investigating increased latency processing Events generated by RUM, Trace Analytics, Service Checks, CI Visibility, Cloud Network Monitoring, and Error Tracking. As a result of this issue, some users may see delays or gaps in the event stream or for event queries on dashboards since Sep 30, 2026, 5:25 PM UTC To prevent false monitor alerts due to delayed data, monitors affected by the delay will not notify and will automatically resume once current data is available. All other monitors will operate normally.

What our checkpoints saw
HostTracker's checkpoints, which test app.datadoghq.com from several locations, recorded no outage of 5 minutes or longer during this incident. A provider can report a problem that affects only some features, regions or accounts, which a check of the main address does not see. The live Datadog status shows what our checks see right now.
Does your product depend on Datadog?
An outage like this one reaches your users through your product, and most teams hear about it from a customer rather than from a dashboard. HostTracker watches any endpoint you name - your own site, an API you call, a vendor you resell - from 300+ locations, confirms a failure from several of them before it says anything, and then tells you by email, SMS, voice call or your chat tool.
You get the same record you are reading here for your own services: every outage timestamped, with the checks that observed it.
