Hello, from the Fedora side of Infrastructure. We have been trying to
get the 503 error rate down in the last six months and thought we had
licked it with recent changes. We had moved down the error rate to
80,000 bad requests per day out of 13.5 million total ones which
actually is a creep up from what we had last month. Most of the
requests every day happen in the time frame of XX:00 -> XX:15 of every
hour. Every proxy seems to give about 100 per day but 2 proxies seem
to have had docker problems and have been each contributing 32,000 to
38,000 503's.

We did find an error in the docker restart script which hopefully will
drop this further. We are still evaluating why just those 2 proxies
have so many more and will let you know what is found.

Thank you for your patience.
