Root cause has been isolated to failures in Azure Active Directory which was impacting all of Azure Monitor Service. Azure Active Directory is now recovering, though each service may recover completely at a different time, due to differences in the timing of refreshing Azure Active Directory tokens. Some customer using Azure Monitor Service may continue to experience intermittent data latency, data access and incorrect alert activation in East US and West Europe region.

  • Work Around: None
  • Next Update: Before 03/16 18:00 UTC

Root cause has been isolated to failures in Azure Active Directory which was impacting all of Azure Monitor. Azure Active Directory is now recovering, though each service may recover completely at a different time, due to differences in the timing of refreshing Azure Active Directory tokens. Some customers may continue to experience challenges connecting to the data access API or with data latency. We estimate 1 – 2 hours before all problems are completely addressed.
  • Next Update: Before 03/15 23:00 UTC
