| - Search compactor logs for `unhealthy instances`. | ||
| - Check the [compactor ring web page](../../references/http-api/#compactor-ring-status) for unhealthy instances. | ||
| - **What it means**: The compactor ring contains unhealthy instances and compactor(s) cannot check the tenant-shard relationship. | ||
| - **How to mitigate**: Ring failures are typically transient and the alert self-resolves after ten minutes. Otherwise: consider manually forgetting unexpected instances in an `Unhealthy` state on the compactor ring web page. |
