My tool went down after 3 days on Labs https://www.statuscake.com/App/AllStatus.php?tid=1334098 I think it will require https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T142164 Build replacement for the webservice toolschecker test On WMUA's server I think I solved this with the monit service, the was no downtime in 5 days according to statuscake checks (each 5 minutes)

Dear Ilya, Leila, and others,
Thank you for your response. Unfortunately, I am not programmer, and I can't help you with the development. I only know that Tools had severe problems in the past, and it may not be a very reliable solution
because, if
something happens to the server, you won't have direct control and
won't be
able to solve the problem quickly. I had enough trouble when map
scripts for
Wikivoyage were running there.
Yuvi, what kind of guarantee can we have for Tools' availability?
It has definitely been more stable than in the past by quite a margin, I think. However, we do have some maintenance planned (not announced yet) for end of Aug / beginning of September related to NFS that could cause some instabilities. In light of that, I think the following is a reasonable course of action to follow:
- Identify critical 'must have' tools (not too many!)
- Set them up in a labs instances that doesn't have any NFS (I can
help do this) 3. When we do the planned maintenance, re-route the tools to hit the labs instances setup in (2) (I can help do this a well).
Now all we need is a *super* minimal (maybe 2?) of tools that should be considered absolutely essential for September (I expect everyting to be stable by October), so we can setup redundancies for that tool.
