Event Timeline

@MoritzMuehlenhoff did a hard power cycle and the server came up clean, I've never seen the ASSERT messages. Typically if there is a h/w error on HP I will get a yellow notice and a prompt to review the log. I am not sure what you want to do with it at this time?

Thanks, given that the server is in fact back up and and that we don't have any actionable error message to report to HP, let's simply close the bug. If it ever happens again, we'll find this task in Phabricator and then can reassess.
