Not sure if the general discussion HamWAN list (psdr) cares about outage
notifications. Probably not. Here's one example, forwarded below.
We also had an outage of Baldi a couple days ago during very heavy rain
+ wind. It was intermittent. I brought up a secondary link to Baldi in
response to this, and have left it on to be used by the routers as a
backup route when the primary uplink fails. We REALLLLY need to align
that Baldi dish so this link doesn't fail. We're presently working off a
side lobe, and the main lobe of the Baldi uplink is aimed @ Cougar Mtn
instead. As cool as that is, it's throwing away signal.
We've had some other edge/uplink router outages in the past, and have
deployed self-healing scripts now to avoid any future occurrences of these.
Overall, I'd say we're improving stability, not just chasing our tail.
There's still a very problematic Paine-CapitolPark link. Could be
mitigated with dish alignment.

Looks like we had a short outage for Cacti (and by extension, the map on
the homepage). MySQL stopped itself due to low RAM. I've bumped the RAM
allocation from 512MB to 1GB and restarted things. All is happy.
Also, syslogging continued without issue. FYI.
