Summary

October 24th, 2019, beginning at around 4:00 a.m. Eastern, Yext engineers began observing high error rates in the Analytics service in Sandbox. Service was restored at 12:41 p.m. Eastern. During this outage, Analytics was unavailable in Sandbox. There was no impact to our production services.

Root Cause
