    We've identified the cause of the missing node-level metrics (CPU, memory, disk, thread pools) in affected regions. Cluster health, shard, and deployment data were never affected, and no data loss has occurred. A fix has been validated in one region and is now being rolled out to the remaining affected regions. We'll provide a further update once the rollout is complete.
