Root cause has been isolated to issue related to some of the nodes in the backend service which went unhealthy and that led to queue buildup which was impacting data latency for Azure Log Analytics Customers in West US 2 Region. To address this issue we restarted the affected nodes and scaled out the clusters to drain the backlog queue. Some customers may experience issues with intermittent log data latency and incorrect alert activation starting from 07/13 23:30 UTC and we estimate the issue to be resolved in the next 4 hours.
