[LDM #DGB-771229]: Fwd: Product drop at NWS sites

Hi Sathya,

[We re-directed your email into our support-email tracking system because your
question is of general interest. Hope you don't mind.]

I'll need some more information in order to diagnose the problem. Would you 
please send me the output of the following commands, executed by the LDM user
on the relevant computer at the LOT site:

    regutil /server/max-latency
    gunzip -c <<directory containing this file>>/ldmd.log-20170413.gz | grep 
oldest | head

I'm looking for any discrepancy between the maximum allowed latency and the
age of the oldest product in the queue. The first command will tell me the
former and the second command should give me an idea of the latter.
