That alert basically means that a varnish frontend daemon crashed (and as usual was auto-restarted by a manager process). These are pretty rare and usually worth some investigation.

Runbook should probably say to gather up the crash info from syslog and attach it to a private paste or task for later analysis (this isn't just about user PII - the tech details of the crash could highlight a potential exploitable bug we want to avoid drawing attention to until we understand and/or mitigate).

I think the only way to clear the counter it is to do a full frontend restart, or we can just ACK it with a task# and leave it be.

Private paste for this one: P8576

All cache nodes are currently running Varnish 5.1.3-1wm10, which fixes this.
