MIT implemented NTP rate-limiting to defend against on-going reflection attacks,
which was causing our nagios checks to fail intermittently. When the attacks
die down or when external sites fix their NTP configurations, checking against
time.mit.edu will stop failing. However, there also isn't much of a reason to
stick with checking against a single server.

It's confusing to have our log data on different files on different
systems (e.g. loadbalancer vs. app).

This tool is a little crude; it runs out of a cron job and will
forward to staging a notice about any new lines in the declared log
files, truncating if there are more than 10 lines.

running them manually a bit easier.

There were a few recently introduced bugs, and this also cuts down on
our having to review diffs that don't actually affect the relevant
server when doing updates.

The trailing "/" actually means "replace the location with /", which
is either useless or actively harmful, depending on the location.

Previously we sometimes set it to $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for and other
times to $remote_addr, but according to
http://wiki.nginx.org/HttpProxyModule#.24proxy_add_x_forwarded_for
$proxy_add_x_forwarded_for handles this for us -- it will be
$remote_addr if there was no X-Forwarded-For header anyway.

EXTERNAL_API_URI: e.g. https://staging.zulip.com/api
The former is primarily needed for certain integrations.

This is something we forgot to do in the VPC migration, so our IPs
have all been the lb0 IP in our logs :(.
