Looks like this failed job has already been cleared out, and I'm not seeing anything in Logstash.

blake@deploy1003:~$ kubectl get jobs -l team=mediawiki-special-pages,cronjob=update-special-pages-s4 --field-selector status.successful=0
No resources found in mw-cron namespace.

Marking invalid, as this is obsolete, and the job has succeeded more recently than this failure:

blake@deploy1003:~$ kubectl get jobs -l team=mediawiki-special-pages,cronjob=update-special-pages-s4
