monitor Heroku db upgrade

Your database (MAROON on gratipay) must undergo maintenance.

Several vendors recently disclosed some vulnerabilities (CVE-2016-5195) in the Linux Kernel. You can find more details here. As a result, we need to perform maintenance to your database as soon as possible to apply the patch for this vulnerability. You can find FAQ about this maintenance here, please check it out if you have any questions regarding this maintenance.

We plan on performing this maintenance at 2016-11-01 19:00:00 +0000 during your set maintenance window of Tuesdays 19:00 to 23:00 UTC.

At that time, we will create a hidden follower, wait for it to catch up, push the follower's creds to your app, unfollow it from your former leader and recreate any followers you may have.
You may choose a new or more appropriate maintenance window, as needed. For example, you may run: heroku pg:maintenance window="Tuesday 14:30" MAROON to set a maintenance window for Tuesdays at 2:30pm UTC.

You can also run this maintenance directly, using heroku pg:maintenance run MAROON.
If you have any questions regarding this maintenance, please let us know.

The replacement database is ready, so we're starting the changeover process for database (MAROON on gratipay) now. HEROKU_POSTGRESQL_MAROON_URL on gratipay will be updated with the new server address momentarily.

If you've copied the value of HEROKU_POSTGRESQL_MAROON_URL to any other apps or tools (such as database administration tools), you'll need to update those values.

When your database is available again, performance may be temporarily reduced while Postgres rebuilds its cache through normal usage. For more information on postgres caching, refer to this devcenter article:
