Beginning at roughly 19:29 UTC on 1/31/19, DNS lookups for the pingidentity.com domain resulted in "Host not found" results. Service was restored with a configuration change on our primary DNS provider.
DNS for the pingidentity.com domain is served by two external DNS providers. In the event of a failure with our primary provider, DNS is configured to be serviced by our secondary provider. In this case instead of queries failing they were returned with no data, and the switchover to our secondary provider did not happen as expected.
Customers would have been unable to resolve, and therefore connect to, several of our hosted services (see affected services below). As this issue was caused by incorrect DNS lookups, the actual impact to customers will depend on how clients cached the DNS records. In some cases, there was no impact. In other cases, service was interrupted.
