Cloudflare admitted that a faulty software update to its logging service on November 14 led to the loss of approximately 55% of customer log data.
For approximately 3.5 hours, Cloudflare Logs failed to deliver collected data to customers. This incident highlights the complexities and risks associated with managing cloud-based logging services.
Logs from multiple servers can be voluminous, and tedious to manage—indicating the need for efficient bundling and delivery solutions like Logpush to mitigate overwhelming customers.
The bug in Logfwdr, triggered by the Logpush change, inadvertently led to all customers’ log events being flooded into the system, demonstrating how interdependent logging tools can complicate data handling.
