The 2026-08-18 metrics-storage outage exposed two defects in the availability pipeline that distorted the figure in opposite directions at once. The Overview panel fell back to a live one-hour Traefik ratio whenever the yearly rollup sample went stale for 48h, and rendered it under the same "365d" title. When the rollup stopped publishing on 2026-08-18 the panel quietly swapped a 365-day measurement for a 60-minute one and read 99.74% instead of the recorded 99.95%. The fallback is removed: a stale rollup now renders no value, and a new atlas-availability-rollup-stale alert pages at 26h, well before the panel goes blank at 48h. The yearly ratio also silently excluded the 34-hour telemetry gap, because missing days contribute zero requests and zero failures. Absent data was read as "nothing happened" — had Atlas genuinely been down in that window, the figure would still have said 99.95%. Availability keeps its measured-days-only definition, which is correct, but coverage is now published alongside it and shown in a new panel, so a telemetry gap lowers disclosed coverage instead of vanishing. The title reads "365d window" to stop implying 365 days of data exist; request-v4 begins 2026-05-01. The rollup job reported healthy runs across a day and a half of lost publishes: a read-only VictoriaMetrics accepts an import and discards it. It now reads each sample back and fails loudly when the write did not survive. Not addressed here: availability is still measured from inside the platform via Traefik counters, so it cannot distinguish "Atlas down" from "telemetry down", and misses failures that never reach Traefik (DNS, TLS, node dead). An external synthetic prober is the real fix and needs a hosting decision.
