Karsten, thanks for the fast reaction.

Since I'm archiving onionoo data I'm "loosing" data (causing blind spots) everytime a "relays_published" 
timestamp is skipped. In theory one could spin up an onionoo instance to generate data for skipped
timestamps but in practice this is hard (requires lots of resources). 
(I know, you are probably talking about not loosing any raw CollecTor data, but wanted to mention that
nonetheless.)

Do you monitor onionoo for such problems ("relays_published" timestamp remaining unchanged for >1-2 hours)? 
Would you find something like that useful?

Thanks for keeping it running besides all the other things you do. 

I'm wondering if the admin team would be available to cover such cases to reduce
the operations load for developers.

kind regards,
nusenu
