I assume juga can do that when they start 17:15:47 it is also that if we find a set of relays failing that test, we can start contacting them and attempt fixing 17:15:59 we could extend what i have and build something we can run from a node and have dgoulet's prometheus system collect the info so we can keep this in track over time 17:16:00 ahf: ack 17:16:19 especially with dgoulet's upcoming changes to tor on oom/cpu/socket info in descriptors it could be good if we had something to look at 17:16:25 +1 17:16:25 mikeperry: yes 17:17:08 ok, very good. do we have more s61 things to dive into tonight? 17:18:25 those are the main ones from the planning meeting 17:18:31 I think I am good 17:18:35 excellent! 17:18:45 we have no new things from other teams that want us to look at 17:18:56 do we really not have any discussion items? 17:19:05 * dgoulet is good 17:19:06 that is a new thing 17:19:28 well let's call the meeting then and get back to what we were doing before! 17:19:31 thanks all o/ 17:19:32 #endmeeting
