Deleted old ext_alert services which were competing with lv_alert

TJ, Jonathan, Dave:

On the machine ext-alert (note dash, not underscore) we were running the legacy ext_alert processes alongside the new lv_alert. The legacy code was competing with the new causing GraceDB query errors.

I deleted the two services:

leaving just the lv_alert.service running. The deletion process I used is:

  1. systemctl stop service_name
  2. systemctl disable service_name
  3. mv /etc/systemd/system/service_name /etc/systemd/archive/service_name_11nov2019
  4. systemctl daemon-reload
  5. systemctl reset-failed

These services were subsequently restarted by puppet. Jonathan made the necessary manifest changes and these superfluous services are once again gone, this time hopefully for ever.
