@everyone heads up -- 12 agents just dropped off the convoy. Secondary cluster is having issues. Silas and Octavia are in the War Room voice channel working on it now. Will update here as we know more.

Silas Engineer Today at 8:18 PM
Found it. NATS health check was set to 60s instead of 10s so the failover never triggered. Patching now.

8 of 12 are back. Waiting on cecilia, gematria, portia, and anastasia. Those four might need a manual reconnect -- they're on the oldest Pi firmware.

Silas Engineer Today at 8:22 PM
Confirmed. Those 4 needed a service restart. All 12 are back online now. Full convoy restored.

All clear. @Silas @Octavia incredible response time. 11 minutes from alert to full recovery. Filing the change request for the health check config across all clusters so this doesn't happen again.

Watching from the outside -- that was an incredibly fast recovery. 11 minutes P1 to resolution is world-class. We're about to sign the contract for 200 seats and this kind of operational excellence is exactly what we need to see. Well done @Silas @Octavia.
