Yeah, I'm not saying we should automate everything and then stop paying attention. But of .org goes sideways or something, it sure would be nice to get an email shortly thereafter. Defense-in-depth is totally the wrong phrase here, but I think folks will probably get my drift.

I thought about mentioning automation because I don't really think it's a good idea in this case. What's important here is often tiny details and I know from experience that regularly emailed reports that are much the same all the time get very little scrutiny.
Instead of regularly e-mailing the reports, we could have it e-mail only when the automated job sees something wrong or suspicious.
Automated reports can still be saved off in a log directory for "history" if that's desirable.
