Event Timeline

Chris -- I'm not sure what the procedure is here. If you need to power down the machine for this we'll need to arrange an outage window -- otherwise, you can do this whenever :)

Note to self: Before outage, silence icinga for labservices1001 and checker.tools.wmflabs.org

I purchased some thermal paste today and the entire process should not take longer than 10mins.

@Andrew Replaced the thermal paste on labservices1001....it didn't look dry and crusty so not 100% it will fix the issue. Leave the task open to monitor for a couple of weeks.

@Andrew any other issues with this? Can we close the task?

The box has been solid since you worked on it. Unfortunately, the issue we seek to fix is VERY rare, so there won't really be any point where we declare it fixed for real. Might as well close the bug for now.

More good news, we're going to replace that hardware entirely in the next few months.
