Investigating
On May 31, 2024, at approximately 10:00 UTC, a change was released to the Azure Sentinel integration for all customers using the Abnormal Security. This change altered how Sentinel queries our API by implementing a different date range filter, resulting in queries over a larger time range. Consequently, this led to an increased load on the database powering all threat information in both the SOAR API and the Portal, causing higher latency in the Threat Log and errors in Azure Sentinel calls due to a broken date range filter.

There is no impact on Email Detection and Remediation.
