Office 365 Monitoring: Microsoft SharePoint Online Outage March 31

On March 31, 2020 at ~5:00am, Microsoft reported an issue with SharePoint Online performance that was affecting users in APAC, Japan, and Australia.

Soon after they reported that they had discovered a throttling rule that was being incorrectly applied to users, and they were working to disable it to mitigate impact.

Many users immediately started to express their frustrations asking when the issue would be resolved.

Finally, at 3:00pm UTC, Microsoft reported that the impact involving this issue had been resolved.

The Importance of Office 365 Monitoring

In a cloud-world, outages are bound to happen. While Microsoft is responsible for restoring service during outages, IT needs to take ownership of their environment and user experience. It is crucial to have greater visibility into business impacts during a service outage the moment it happens.
