== How to best filter these emails ==
== How to best filter these emails ==
These emails are best filtered by having "Humpty Dumpty Error" in their subject.  Becuase the hostname on the slave might not be correct every/all the time, filtering on domain names might not catch all cases.

=Performance Metrics=
== Why we get them ==
We get various emails containing raw data that relates to a performance bottle neck at some point in time. Typically these are produced by cron jobs, and so received regularly regardless of metric status. (I.e. they may not require any action.)
== What is sending them ==
Since this is a "catch all" category, various tools send them. Check the full headers for information on sender and source machine as needed.
== What to do when one is recieved ==
If you don't know what it's about, you don't need to deal with it beyond setting up a filter to ignore it.
== How to silence or acknowledge this alert ==
It's not an alert, so they'll keep coming until the end of time. Filter them if you're not involved with them.
== Future plans ==
Adhoc, so varies by email. Theoretically, these ''should'' be transitional, and moved into automation and alerting as soon as the metric is understood.
== How to best filter these emails ==
Since these are adhoc, you'll need adhoc filters. It would be nice if folks used a common prefix on subjects, such as "<tt><nowiki>[releng metrics]</nowiki></tt>".
