Timeline

1. Oct 8, 2026, 13:06 UTC
   investigating
   Beginning around 10:20 UTC, we have been seeing intermittent elevated error rates and latency affecting Grafana Cloud Metrics and Logs in GCP US Central (prod-us-central-0 and prod-us-central-5), and periodic increased latency and occasional errors affecting Grafana Cloud Traces in prod-us-central-0. Customers may see errors or delays when sending metrics, logs and traces. We are actively investigating. Next update by 13:40 UTC.
2. Oct 8, 2026, 13:25 UTC
   investigating
   We continue to investigate intermittent elevated error rates and latency affecting Grafana Cloud Metrics and Logs in GCP US Central (prod-us-central-0 and prod-us-central-5), and periodic increased latency affecting Grafana Cloud Traces in prod-us-central-0. Error rates have decreased, but intermittent errors and latency may still occur. We are working with our cloud provider as part of the investigation. We do not have an estimated time of resolution at this time. Next update by 14:30 UTC.

   Update to scope: we have not confirmed any impact to Grafana Cloud Logs, and Logs has been removed from the affected components. We continue to investigate intermittent elevated error rates and latency affecting Grafana Cloud Metrics in GCP US Central (prod-us-central-0 and prod-us-central-5), and periodic increased latency affecting Grafana Cloud Traces in prod-us-central-0. Error rates have decreased, but intermittent errors and latency may still occur. We are working with our cloud provider as part of the investigation. We do not have an estimated time of resolution at this time. Next update by 14:30 UTC.

   investigating
   We are investigating degraded performance with increased latency in the ingestion path for Grafana Cloud Metrics in GCP US Central (prod-us-central-0 and prod-us-central-5) and for Grafana Cloud Traces in prod-us-central-0. Customers may experience intermittent errors or delays when sending metrics and traces. We are investigating this with our cloud provider. We do not have an estimated time of resolution at this time. Next update by 15:30 UTC.
