We had a customer complaining of random data loss for the last 6 months or so. We eventually tracked it down to a combination of bad coding and a couple of bugs with the ORM. Basically, 'BEGIN' was being emitted by the web app when viewing a certain page and 'COMMIT' was never emitted after that. So once the app would get restarted, all data changes would be lost. Definitely worst case scenario.

So the question is, what is the best way to monitor for this scenario going forward? Are there any plugins or community recommended scripts already made?
