Description

On 2014-07-29 ~02:00, there were packet loss alarms for oxygen, analytics1003, erbium in the #wikimedia-operations IRC channel:

[01:52:47] <icinga-wm> PROBLEM - Packetloss_Average on erbium is CRITICAL: packet_loss_average CRITICAL: 37.5854172414
[01:56:47] <icinga-wm> RECOVERY - Packetloss_Average on erbium is OK: packet_loss_average OKAY: -0.0539559302326

[02:06:57] <icinga-wm> RECOVERY - Packetloss_Average on oxygen is OK: packet_loss_average OKAY: 1.15079566667

The packetloss periods were short, and there was much monitoring noise in the
IRC channel around that time, so those might have been flukes.

The issue was a flapping esams link [1], which (depending on the stream)
killed half up to all esams traffic (eqiad and ulsfo were unaffected) to the
udp2log instances between 2014-07-29T01:35:45 and 2014-07-29T01:42:00.

This issue affects all of our logging infrastructure, from TSVs to
webstatscollector to pagecounts.
