That production would have daily problems like this is an unpleasant surprise.

When we last looked into these reports, Francis and the LOSAs found that the reports coincided with nightly edge updates, deployments and other planned downtimes.

Have you noticed any potentially helpful patterns for these? For instance, are they often at a particular time, or on particular launchpadlib calls?

I suspect that we'll want to ask you to institute httplib2 logging again, as Leonard described earlier. Leonard, could you confirm?
