[tor-relays] Bridge showing offline

Wed Jan 12 10:58:15 UTC 2022

Hi all,

now it hit my bridge again. it's reported offline on metrics 
(https://metrics.torproject.org/rs.html#details/811CA1BA98FE0987F552859489EF74B5004BB584) 
with nothing in the logs. Except that I had no unique clients since 
about 3 days
I have my ports monitored by uptimerobot as well and they are fine.

Does anyone have an idea on how to track this down before I do a restart?
As mentioned below: I am running tor 0.4.6.8 on FreeBSD in a jail.
Thanks for your help!
