This seems to be a bug that affects any update and I do not think it is<br>
unique to 3.5.1. A fix will be included in 3.5.2, the 'workaround' is to<br>
(re)start the glusterd service after updating the packages.<br>
<br>
I'm sorry for any unexpected outages that this caused! At least you've<br>
now tested your Gluster monitoring setup ;-)<br>
