My company currently is looking to migrate to Scalr. We are excited
about the many features Scalr has to offer at reasonable prices. While
working with the service over the past several days, I encountered a
few issues and hope that you can address them for us.

* I am trying to run the "Apt-get update & upgrade" script "OnHostUp"
for a "app-apache" role. The first issue is that I am not seeing any
log output. Is there something that needs to be done to enable
logging? I saw that another script sourced the /usr/local/aws/lib/
lib.sh file. If this is required, why isn't this included in the "Apt-
get update & upgrade" script?

* The second issue is I'm not sure that the script ran correctly.
After about 20 minutes when the instance status changed to "Running",
I ssh'd into the instance and ran "apt-get upgrade" and got the
following error:

r...@ec2-174-129-151-29:~# apt-get upgrade
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree

The following packages have been kept back:
  bind9-host dnsutils libbind9-30 libdns35 libisccc30 libisccfg30

1 not fully installed or removed.
After this operation, 0B of additional disk space will be used.
Do you want to continue [Y/n]?
Setting up snmpd (5.4.1~dfsg-4ubuntu4.2) ...
Starting network management services:invoke-rc.d: initscript snmpd,
action "start" failed.
dpkg: error processing snmpd (--configure):
 subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
 snmpd
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

Should we expect to be able to run this script reliably "OnHostUp"?

* The final thing is that, over the past few days, the scalr.net
website and calls to the Scalr logging functions have been very slow.
I ran the following script:
#!/bin/bash
. /usr/local/aws/lib/lib.sh
for (( c=0; c<100; c++ ))
do
    log "`date`"
done
It took 8 minutes to send 100 log messages. Is this considered normal
results? The website has also been slow and even inaccessible at
times. I have gotten the
"Unrecoverable error Service is temporary not available. Please try
again in a minute." error a number of times. Can we expect
improvements in the future?

Thank you for your work to provide this service.
