Troubleshooting
Problem
During the nightly autoupdate config deploy, the Events Per Second (EPS) rate is observed to temporarily display zero in the "Event Rate (EPS) (Count) (Events per Second Raw- Average 1 Min)" dashboard graph.
Symptom
The Event Rate (EPS) (Count) (Events per Second Raw- Average 1 Min) Dashboard graph can be seen with results similar to:

Zero events are displayed in the graph when the ecs-ec service is restarting. The 7.5k EPS spike, in the chart afterwards, is where the ecs-ec-ingress spools events to ecs-ec. The accumulator service, which allows the creation of graphs, is also being restarted during the config deploy action.
Cause
The nightly autoupdate deploy causes the ecs-ec service to restart on the console and managed hosts. The ecs-ec service also restarts during a full configuration deploy. In both cases, the EPS drops to 0 in the graph. This is expected behavior.
Resolving The Problem
This is expected behavior during a full configuration deploy which also happens during the night autoupdate job.
