The cronjob is broken and runs every minutes for the hours 0 and 12. The
fix is https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/109877


As I said in a previous thread:

The file /data/project/logs/fatal.log can be accessed from any instance,
ie from deployment-bastion.pmtpa.wmflabs

The content is also on logstash:
