We’ve completed system validation and re-enabled accounts with some capabilities temporarily paused. We’ve taken the step to limit access to reduce the risk of additional impact to your services. Capabilities currently enabled on accounts:

- Login
- Update Content
- Push Updates to Listings
- Push Updates to Search
- Push Updates to Live API
- Pages Updates will come online as validation continues
- Review data will come online as it re-indexes

We will continue to monitor our system and re-open features and capabilities as it returns to being fully operational.

Updating Hitchhikers Site to Partial Outage.

We have successfully deployed and tested the majority of services in read/write mode in the backup data center. We are currently executing content reindexing, which is one of the final requirements to re-enable customer access. Based on observed indexing speed we anticipate restoring access tomorrow (July 12) afternoon EDT.

Our teams are working to resolve the disruption as quickly as possible. We are currently validating the system before restoring additional services or access.

We continue to bring platform services back online. As of this morning, all consumer-serving is restored. We are taking steps to mitigate further disruption by moving the service to the secondary Source Data Region data center, and that work is well underway.

We are waiting for an update from our primary Source Data Region data center and will post here when we receive an update.

Last night we failed over from our primary Source Data Region data center to our backup Source Data Region data center.

The system there is in read-only mode, which means that the Platform API is partially available for reads of data available in the platform. However, users will not be able to login to the Customer Portal as logins currently require write access to be enabled. This also means that Yext Employees cannot login to the Customer Portal to make updates on customers' behalf and that updates to Pages, Listings, Search and Reviews are not currently available.

We will provide another update in the next hour.

We have failed over critical services to our back up data center and reestablished consumer serving from our global regions in Japan, Germany, and the US. We are leaving the knowledge graph in read-only mode while we wait for our primary data center to come back online around mid-day Tuesday, based on the recovery timeline we received from our contacts at the data center.

Service on Platform API (Knowledge and Administrative) is partially restored in read-only mode.

We have received another update from our primary Source Data Region data center. Its full text is below:

After reviewing the site, the fire marshall is requiring that we extensively clean the UPS devices and rooms before they will allow us to re-energize the site. We have a vendor at the site currently who will be performing that cleanup. We will provide an update at 8:00AM EDT unless something significant changes overnight.

Due to the current outage, Connectors are unavailable, and client ETLs are experiencing delays.

Updating list of impacted services.

We have begun a rolling restart of our consumer-serving jobs to restore service and will continue to monitor activity.

Pages Generation remains unavailable.

We are attempting a partial fail over to our backup Source Data Region data center.

The loss of power at our primary Source Data Region data center disconnected our Consumer Serving Regions from our primary code repository system as well as our secure secrets vault.

We are working to deploy a mitigation to allow us to deploy from our backup Source Data Region data center.

We have received an update from our primary Source Data Region data center. Its full text is below:

Power remains off at our data center in Secaucus/EWR1 per the local fire marshal.

We have had an electrical failure with one of our redundant UPS' that started to smoke and then had a small fire in the UPS room. The fire department was dispatched and the fire was extinguished quickly. The fire department subsequently cut power to the entire data center and disabled our generators while they and the utility verify electrical system. We have been working with both the fire department and the utility to expedite this process.

We are currently waiting on the fire marshal and local utility to re-energize the site. We are completely dependent upon their inspection and approval. We are hoping to get an update that we can share in the next hour.
At the current time, the fire department is controlling access to the building and we will not be able to let customers in.

We are continuing to investigate this issue.

We are actively working to restore access to our consumer-serving services and waiting for further updates from our primary data center.
