Good point, thanks. Checking...
Main config (BPC-server): 8-18, all weekdays
Host config (cloud server): 8-18, all weekdays
The badping limit and good content are set at their defaults three and seven
respectively.
The host, a departmental cloud-server, is however one of those servers that is
up 24/7/365 (or close to in any case - it's not supposed to be down for any
reason if possible).
I'll keep an eye on it for a while and see what happens now.
