This buildbot seems to have been failing for a while (though it’s hard for me to identify the root cause in the logs, as I mentioned in another thread, so it’s hard to say if it’s the same failure, or if the failure is consistent, etc) - anyone watching it/caring aobut it?
What is the specific concern?
http://lab.llvm.org:8011/builders/sanitizer-x86_64-linux-bootstrap/builds/8553
shows that "check-llvm" fails under MSan, and several tests fail with an
actual
MSan error report. Prbably you got the email notification because the slave
was restarted at
http://lab.llvm.org:8011/builders/sanitizer-x86_64-linux-bootstrap/builds/8552,
and
you were added to blame list when the bot failed on the next iteration.
Yup.
We can fix that in two ways:
1. Change the buildmaster to not warn on red->exception->red.
2. Create another identical non-emailing buildmaster and move this bot there.

The concern is a combination of:
1) getting noisy emails (as Renato has mentioned - this could be fixed by
an improvement to buildbot (or our config - we're not sure where the issue
lies/can be addressed) to not email on red->purple->red). This is my
proximal concern, since that's the way most of us interact with the
buildbots - IRC and emails.
2) A lesser concern, is the ability to look at the buildbot dashboard
(grid/waterfall views) and have a sense of the state of open issues/points
of concern. With bots consistently red for long durations the dashboards
seem hard to use - it looks like everything's broken all the time & it's
not clear what are known issues with ownership and what are new/untriaged
issues that need immediate attention.
