Comment:

 I updated the script. Changes are:
  - The script now uses argparse to parse arguments.
  - The newly added `-m` argument allows ignoring missing timestamps. This
 makes it possible to also check the backup CollecTor host that doesn't
 archive all descriptor types.

 Regarding the host/address hack, I don't think we'll need that. We can
 simply put in the public DNS name, rather than the host name. Examples:

 {{{
 python3 tor-check-collector -s collector.torproject.org       # for
 colchicifolium
 python3 tor-check-collector -s -m collector2.torproject.org   # for
 corsicum
 }}}

 anarcat, can you review these changes and deploy two checks for the two
 hosts, ideally labeled as "colchicifolium/collector" and
 "corsicum/collector", so that I can quickly notice which one I need to
 fix?
