Path analysis
Traffic kept the same route. Latency rose without a visible path change, which points at congestion or a fault on the existing route rather than a reroute.
Cross-probe verdict. Some probes saw the degradation and others did not, which usually means a partial or regional effect.
Timeline
- Alert 2026041707: warning — ratio 2.37x
- Alert #85 improving: 1/3 consecutive OK
- Alert #85 resolved: RTT 12.62ms (baseline 38.61ms), 3 consecutive OK
Detection method
Latency is sampled continuously from our probe network. An alert opens when round-trip time to a monitored endpoint holds above its rolling baseline, and closes automatically once it returns. Full method is described on the methodology page.
