did this happen today or over a longer period of time?

We did some large scale reboots of VMs today to deal with various

I reserve the right to fantasize. Whether or not you

that this was likely update related. I have never seen it before the email
that I sent
​ and am not seeing it now.​

Things should be pretty stable at this point, everything's been
rebooted.

Thanks!
