Monitoring

An errant logging mechanism was causing some process configuration files to become very large in size. As part of our deploy process, these files are opened and modified; the large file size was causing the deploy to hang and the I/O wait on the machine to increase substantially.

We've deleted the large config files, and have confirmed the hanging behavior is no longer occurring. The deploy will now proceed as planned.
