Re: Status of the build.gnome.org service

[Andrea Veri <av gnome org>]

Is there anything we could monitor through Nagios for getting notified
about service outages?

Going with a systemd unit file and proper documentation (SOPs) about
common use cases might be a good starting point especially now that we
are receiving new boxes with SSDs but generally better hardware to
migrate GNOME OSTree to.
