We monitor the number of requests reaching our Nginx servers. We expect that
there will be a minimum number of requests occurring and a check will alert if
this falls below a threshold.

There are a few things to check when this occurs:

-   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.
-   It could be a genuine low number of requests. The threshold is
    configurable in hieradata so we can tweak for environments where we
    expect to see lower traffic levels.
-   It could be indicative of a bigger problem. A previous cause for this has
    been misconfigured firewall configs on our vSE load balancer.
