Comment:

 Thanks to gman999, we now have a sysmon instance that continuously tests
 our default bridges. Our sysmon config is available
 [https://dip.torproject.org/torproject/anti-censorship/sysmon-
 configuration in this gitlab repository].  Here's how it works:
 > Sysmon runs checks every five minutes, and updates DNS records every ten
 minutes. If a check fails twice (e.g., a service is offline for more than
 five minutes), we get an alert.  Currently, cohosh and phw receive alerts.
 Our sysmon instance currently does not have IPv6 capabilities.

 Whenever one of our default bridges fail, cohosh and I get an email. This
 has happened a few times already. Do we want anything else?
