The change-over was successful. Thank you for your patience and understanding. ToolsDB
should now be fully operational. Please report issues to the #wikimedia-cloud IRC
channel.
In the course of recovery efforts, the four databases that are not replicated were left
behind. This ticket is there to track further recovery efforts on those databases as is
desired or possible relating to those four databases listed here:

This is an update on the ongoing problems with the toolsdb service. We are preparing to
move to a new server, which is now a functioning replica of the toolsdb server. The first
step here is to restart the service in read-only mode, and then we will move the DNS.
Expect writes to stop working and connections to drop. When we are moved to the new DNS,
services that use this database will need to be restarted.
This will be happening within the next hour unless it is slowed down by some issues or
caution.
