Unexpected Loadbalancer restart

Incident Report for Netdata

Resolved

Yesterday, a brief infrastructure incident occurred due to certain processes on our load balancer failing (exactly at 16:34 UTC). This caused more than half of our globally connected nodes to reconnect, which in turn triggered false positive alerts notifying clients of node downtime.

We apologize for the confusion and are taking steps to ensure this does not happen again.
