 We should create a nagios config that provides core tor developers with
 notification, logs, and vote and descriptor data in the event of a failure
 of one or more directory authorities.

 If Nick and Sebastian had not been able to get descriptor and log lines
 from Jake and Linus, the fix for the IPv6 catastrophe would have taken
 even longer, possibly long enough for the network to completely fail.

 A simple version of this would be to modify Tor Weather just to provide
 immediate notification for dir auth operators. But in an ideal world, if
 some threshold of dir auths failed, logs and descriptor data would get
 sent to an email alias.
