-   An Icinga check that alerts when the number of Nginx requests drops
    below a critical threshold.
-   We have seen misconfigured firewall configs on our vSE.
-   It could be a genuine low number of requests or it may be indicative
    of a bigger problem as described above. The threshold is
    configurable in hieradata so we can tweak for environments where we
    expect to see lower traffic levels.

-   On Staging and Integration, this alert may appear while production
    data is being copied to the environment. This is because production
    traffic replay is paused during the copying job.
