What the night watch does

Servers checked every minute, safe fixes applied, one plain message instead of a hundred alerts.

An alert that fires a hundred times overnight is not a plan. The night watch checks every server every minute, and when something goes down it acts.

It works from a short list of safe, reversible fixes: start a stopped web server, restart a crashed app, clear space on a full disk. It checks that the fix worked, and if it did not, it stops and calls a person.

Either way, the morning message is one paragraph: what broke, why, what was done, and whether anything is needed.
