We have identified contributing factors behind the elevated database server CPU utilization that caused intermittent slowness for some districts, and corrective changes have been implemented. System performance has been stable for the past several hours. Our team will continue to closely monitor the environment, including during the morning hours when the issue has occurred, to confirm the fixes are effective. We appreciate your patience.

Barracuda XDR experienced an intermittent service disruption affecting the events ingestion and signals detection, which might have caused the delayed ingestion and alerts generation across all regions. Our engineering team promptly identified the underlying cause and implemented the appropriate corrective actions to restore normal functionality. We will continue to closely monitor the environment to ensure ongoing stability and the full restoration of expected operational performance. Dashboard access remains down.
