Incident Summary

‌

On Sunday, 26 July 2026, Flexera experienced a service disruption affecting Snow Atlas customers in the APAC Production environment, resulting in login failures and temporary inability to access Agreement pages. The issue was isolated to the APAc region, with no impact to other production regions.

Investigation by our technical teams determined that the disruption was caused by a backend service communication issue that prevented Agreement data from being retrieved successfully. The condition was consistent with a runtime synchronization issue following recent platform infrastructure maintenance.

Flexera teams validated platform health, restored the affected services, and confirmed successful recovery. Customer access was fully restored, and post-recovery monitoring confirmed stable operations with no recurrence of the underlying service communication errors.

A detailed post-incident review was completed, and corrective measures have been implemented to further strengthen platform resilience and recovery processes.

‌

Root Cause

‌

The incident was caused by an application communication failure within the APAC Production environment. A component responsible for processing requests between internal application services did not successfully handle Agreement-related requests, preventing those requests from being completed and resulting in customer-facing 404 errors and failures accessing Agreement pages.

‌

Contributing Factors

‌

• The application communication failure occurred following a recent infrastructure upgrade to the APAC Production environment.
• Although the application services and underlying infrastructure remained healthy, an internal service responsible for processing Agreement requests did not fully recover after the upgrade.
• Existing health checks validated application and infrastructure availability but did not verify the successful initialization of the internal communication path following the upgrade.
• The issue was therefore not detected until customers began experiencing login failures and HTTP 404 errors when accessing Agreement pages.

‌

Remediation Actions

‌

To restore service, technical teams:

• Confirmed the underlying infrastructure remained healthy throughout the incident.
• Identified the failed internal service communication affecting Agreement requests.
• Restarted the affected application services.
• Validated successful recovery across impacted tenants.
• Continued monitoring to confirm service stability.

‌

Future Preventative Measures

‌

• Enhanced Post-Upgrade Validation: Introduce additional validation checks following infrastructure upgrades to verify that critical application components and internal service communications are functioning as expected.
• Improved Monitoring and Alerting: Enhance monitoring and alerting to detect internal service communication failures and responder registration issues more quickly.
• Synthetic Health Checks: Implement synthetic health checks that validate critical customer workflows, including Agreement page functionality, following infrastructure changes.
