      During server maintenance, we rebooted the server BB is running on.
      The elasticsearch services didn't come back online automatically for some reason, which in term created an issue with consul configuration template:
      The whole elasticsearch section of the config was empty, and the server code was crashing repeatedly on startup in quick succession with this error:

      The server should be more resilient and treat the absence of a search configuration to set a banner on the website to tell users search is not working, but still bring up the server !
