Office 365 Monitoring: Microsoft Teams Outage June 18, 2020

On June 18^th, 2020 at ~7:00am UTC, Microsoft reported an issue that was causing problems receiving messages in Microsoft Teams throughout North America.

They soon after reported that they were rerouting service traffic through alternate infrastructure and tentatively started to recover.

Users started reporting that their organizations were not able to access chat. Others reported that they were also unable to receive external calls in addition to issues with chat.

Roughly an hour later at ~8:30 am UTC, Microsoft reported that they successfully rerouted traffic and have validated that service was restored.

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.
