[12:02 p.m. EST]

This incident has been resolved. Our DNS provider has resolved an issue on its side and our monitoring shows that normal traffic has resumed. We apologize for the inconvenience.

* * *

[11:02 a.m. EST]  
**Current status** : We have expanded our DNS name service level and are seeing positive indications. Please respond here with your CI provider and region, if available, if you are still experiencing failures

**Root causes** : We are continuing to investigate root causes, but our DNS provider has just reported a major incident.

**Symptoms** : DNS for some CI providers was failing to resolve [SonarCloud.io](http://SonarCloud.io), which caused analysis to fail.  
&nbsp;

Again, please respond here if you’re still experiencing problems. It will be helpful to know your CI provider and region.

Hi all,

[SonarCloud.io](http://sonarcloud.io/) cannot be resolved by some of our customers. As a consequence, static analysis cannot be performed. Our engineering teams are currently troubleshooting this issue with top priority. Preliminary investigations are pointing to a DNS issue.

I have consolidated reports of this outage here in this thread so there is a single, central place to go for updates.

As we know more, we’ll add it here. Please use the bell (🔔) icon to subscribe to updates on this thread. You can also watch [https://sonarcloud.statuspage.io/](https://sonarcloud.statuspage.io/)

Hello,

Our CI is down with this message:  
ERROR: SonarCloud server [[https://sonarcloud.io]](https://sonarcloud.io%5D/) can not be reached  
Sonar cloud status page is green.  
The website seems to work fine.  
Is there an issue?

Witnessing the same thing. It started yesterday in sync with the AZURE networking outage I believe. Then it came back up, but I guess it’s back to being “down” this morning.  
Not sure why the status page is not reporting anything.

The status page is not reporting any incidents and it seems that other people in the communicty are facing the same issues.

Any idea of what’s happening or what was recently upgraded ?

Thanks,

Hi @aminebensalem

Indeed the error message indicates some DNS issues somewhere:

`Caused by: java.net.UnknownHostException: sonarcloud.io: Temporary failure in name resolution`

At the time I write `sonarcloud.io` is taking requests normally, both UI and APIs.

We are also experiencing that issue, running the action sonarsource/sonarqube-scan-action on GitHub and getting the following exception:

Caused by: java.net.UnknownHostException: [sonarcloud.io](http://sonarcloud.io): Try again

However, when we run it from Gradle using the sonarqube plugin, pointing to the same url anda different project, it works fine.

We have the same issues in our gitlab pipelines. We let the gitlab support staff check our pipelines and they verified a DNS configuration issue on sonarcloud’s side.  
However, it seems that when we use different gitlab runners running in AWS they don’t seem to have troubles connecting to [sonarcloud.io](http://sonarcloud.io) while the google cloud based gitlab shared runners do have problems.

Same here in GitLab cloud pipelines. Also badges from SonarCloud are not working in GitLab

</div>

Did the DNS configuration for [sonarcloud.io](http://sonarcloud.io) change recently?

I am able to resolve [sonarcloud.io](http://sonarcloud.io) on my laptop, I can access the UI and I can ping the API. However, the dns resolution fails in our Kubernetes clusters hosted in Azure.

I believe not only Azure infrastructure is affected, as people are facing the same issue on different cloud providers. So I can only assume this is from sonarcloud’s side.

Hi all,

Thanks for your reports of this issue. They helped us spot the problem and begin to understand the scope. I’ve consolidated all the reports in this new thread I created so there’s one place to go for updates.

As we know more, we’ll update it here.

Hi,

According to your status page the API is suppose to be “Operational”, however when calling an endpoint like: [POST] [https://sonarcloud.io/api/projects/create?name=\*\*\*&organization=\*\*\*&project=\*\*\*&visibility=private](https://sonarcloud.io/api/projects/create?name= ***&organization=*** &project=***&visibility=private)

Then: “No such host is known.” is returned.

I assume it is releated?

Other api endpoints like: [GET] [https://sonarcloud.io/api/components/show?organization=\*\*\*&component=\*\*\*&qualifiers=TRK](https://sonarcloud.io/api/components/show?organization= ***&component=*** &qualifiers=TRK) is working.

Hi all,

I’ve updated the inital post with this, but I’m also adding it as a reply so notifications are sent:

* * *

**Current status** : We have expanded our DNS name service level and are seeing positive indications. Please respond here with your CI provider and region, if available, if you are still experiencing failures

**Root causes** : We are continuing to investigate root causes, but our DNS provider has just reported a major incident.

**Symptoms** : DNS for some CI providers was failing to resolve [SonarCloud.io](http://SonarCloud.io), which caused analysis to fail.  
&nbsp;

Again, please respond here if you’re still experiencing problems. It will be helpful to know your CI provider and region.
