⚪ Someone deployed a DNS config change that yeet'd .apm endpoints into the void. Serverless customers got the silent treatment for ~9 hours until engineers remembered these endpoints existed. Elastic's internal DNS provider apparently needed a nap.

[RESOLVED - 2026-08-26] APM endpoints for serverless projects not available

// Status page says

Aug 27 , 17:11 UTC Monitoring - On August 26, at around 00:00 UTC we deployed a change in Managed Inputs that affected some rules in our internal DNS provider, removing the .apm endpoints some of our Serverless customers. The service was restored around 9AM UTC on the same day. During this time, some customers would have experienced unavailability of the .apm endpoint, for a period in the 9 hour window.

🟡 Elastic's GCP us-central1 region decided projects should come with a 'read receipts disabled' feature. Some Serverless deployments are either moving at geological timescales or vanishing entirely.

🟡 Elastic's AutoOps can't find its node metrics (CPU, memory, disk) in certain regions—they're just gone from recent time ranges. The good news: your data's fine, cluster health is fine, everything else is fine. It's just the one thing you need to see that's MIA. ETA on the scavenger hunt: 2 hours.

🟡 Elastic's own support portal decided to become unsupported. The company that helps you monitor everything apparently turned off monitoring for, well, everything. They're 'investigating' with their provider—translation: playing hot potato with blame while customers scream into the void. (Auto-resolved: no updates in 24h)

⚪ 🔍 Elastic's monitoring agents decided to practice the strong, silent type for three days straight. Turns out metrics weren't flowing anywhere—just vibes and prayers. The patient is stable now, but AutoOps dashboards are looking patchier than a conspiracy theorist's evidence board.
