[tor-commits] [doctor/master] Suppressing sybil notification if not run in the last three hours



commit 3d0869304dbd178b04b911b8b49ec2316731b7ef

    Suppressing sybil notification if not run in the last three hours
    
    Our sybil checker compares a list of all fingerprints we've ever seen to the
    current consensus to see how many new additions there have been. As such it
    always goes off if it hasn't been run for a long while.
    
    We got one of these false alarms when yatei went down for thirty hours.
    Suppressing email notifications when we haven't run in the last three hours.
