+# This is a general tracking query for all OVB infrastructure failures.
+# It is intended to serve two purposes: First, to let us know when such
+# failures are occurring, and second to notify users of what happened
+# when their job fails in this way, since it may not be obvious to them
+# what went wrong.  Please leave this query in place even if there are no
+# recent hits for it.
