comments from jbond (not sure if delivered):
- Summary:
- an example of the request with the headers, specifically the agent would be useful (or a logstash link)
- Timeline:
- was the only fix “Amit Emptified the templates” or did we also add vcl ratelimit/block?
- impact:
- could be more precise i.e. expand on almost in “API became almost unresponsive”
- wonder if we could have more actions here
- identify problematic templates
- is there an action we can have to resolve “It is hard to pinpoint when an issue is due to a template”
