Ask HN: “We're having some trouble serving your request. Sorry”
Since HN’s come back online, I am randomly been getting an error message saying, “We're having some trouble serving your request. Sorry” and have seen others on Twitter sharing getting the same error.
Does anyone know easy/free way to log HN not being down, but returning an availability error — preferably from a system that’s not dependent on AWS; HN is currently on AWS as a result of the main & fallback servers experiencing disk failures.
Preferably it generate a report that publicly available like the one below, but that report doesn’t appear to log these types of errors:

- NickRandom 4y agoSheesh! Give them (Dan & co) a break. It's obvious that they are doing their best to get things back to normal, chill dude.
- O__________O 4y agoWhat? I didn’t ask Dang for anything, in fact the opposite. To my knowledge, Dang is aware this is an issue, and expecting it to pickup once people are back at work; in fact, errors like this pop-up anytime HN has high amount of traffic, especially commenting traffic; in the past, Dang even asks users to logout if possible. Again, this is independent of Dang, unclear what I did to get a response like this. Just trying to setup simple log of the error, not asking for anything aside from suggestions on how to do it; done it in the past, that is automate loading a page, only for a string of text, but thought I would see if anyone had suggestions or was already doing it.
