Dear All, We'd like to let you know that as described in the mail below, we stopped the generation of the "built-in ping RRDs" (though a bit later than projected). The RRDs that visualise UDM ping measurements will be decommissioned next; the seismograph is provided as a replacement visualisation tool.
