[11:59:52] <moritzm>	 for two server reimages in the eqsin Ganeti cluster I had to save some space temporarily and prometheus5003 needed to be switched away from DRBD (the servers in eqsin are the old type with only 400G SSDs still).
[12:00:22] <moritzm>	 the maintenane is done and I'll next move ot back to DRBD, during that time the instance will down for a bit
[12:41:00] <hnowlan>	 tappof: for downtiming the metamonitoring checks, could we make a cookbook that just drops a file into STATUS_DIR which the script reads? 
[12:41:47] <hnowlan>	 a json file that says something like {"start": $time, "duration": $len, "reason": "Maintenance on blahblah"}
[12:47:31] <tappof>	 Yeah hnowlan, my first idea was to use the HetrixTools API to put the checks into maintenance mode, but this way we can decouple the downtime cookbook from the external monitoring tool..
[12:47:32] <tappof>	 +1 
[12:47:59] <hnowlan>	 I can try to hack something up for that, unless you'd prefer to do it
[12:49:24] <tappof>	 I'm not jealous... If you have room for that, feel free to work on it :)
[12:49:41] <hnowlan>	 could use a little friday Actual Work task :P 
[12:50:00] <hnowlan>	 I'd never seen the Box library before, that's kinda neat 
[12:50:20] <tappof>	 I love it!
