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)

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:
1. Identify critical 'must have' tools (not too many!)
2. 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.
