instrumental.Error Broken Pipe about instrumental_agent-php HOT 2 OPEN

How frequently are you sending metrics with that agent? Is it a case of metrics being sent regularly and then the socket dying after a few minutes, or is it several minutes of idle time followed by the next send failing?

Catching the exception is trickier... you might be able to give the agent its own logger and then set the log level to FATAL, or redirect its log output into /dev/null. I don't REALLY recommend that last one, as it would catch any other exceptions and throw them away.

We're sending metrics at least 4 times every two minutes - it's regular metrics with the socket dying every four minutes or so.

Will give some janky exception catching a go
