I am not CI/networking expert, but I will be more than happy to assist. I am at +0530 hrs available widely.

I have munin [1], but as said, I'm not a trained sysadmin. I don't know what I'm looking for if you ask "statistics on the network". Also, I have no experience with s390x except for deploying the Debian software on the server setup by Phil. All the quirks of s390x are beyond me. I can provide logging from the host, but I'll need detailed instructions of what people find useful to look at. Recently Antonio taught me a trick to provide temporary access to a lxc container on any of our hosts, so if it helps to be on the host (but inside lxc) we can provide for that.
