Root cause has been isolated to an intermediate service having authentication failures which was impacting metric alerts, custom metrics, auto-scale. To address this issue engineers have provided a substitute authentication.  Some customers may experience data gaps, data latency while accessing or querying their metrics data. We estimate ~1 hour before all issues are addressed.
