Seems to be doing OK today and my traffic is beginning to pick up, so I may just be over anxious.
My hosting service seems to have some kind of throttle or firewall on ICMP because I can't ping reliably even when I have a perfectly fine SSH connection. If it starts losing the flag again I suppose I could cobble together a script that periodically does a wget from the dirport or something.
Thanks for the thought though.

My relay seems to gain and lose the stable flag every day for the last several days. It's been up more than a week. Is this normal? I don't recall seeing this on a previous hosting provider and I suspect there is something going on with the network.
I'm thinking of setting the log level to info or debug to try to figure out what is going on. Is that a good idea? Is it likely to be informative?
I've not been running my relay for that long, so I don't know if it's common to unexpectedly lose the 'stable' flag. However, do you monitor the machine externally? If so, are there gaps in the data? If not, I'd just try monitoring the connection in a simple way (even just pinging something every minute or so) and see if it goes out to lunch every once in a while.
