[Systems] Docker alerting

[Bernie Innocenti]

Very cool, Sam. I'd set up alerts for any limited resources being close 
to exhaustion and when processes crash.

By the way, I'll be travelling for a few weeks with little connectivity 
and I also should let my arm rest from typing, so I won't be responding 
to SL email. In case of an emergency, call or IM me.
