Martin,

Thanks for your reply. The correlation coefficient is almost back at the 
normal level. I will search some old logs to see if previous outages also 
shows the same behaviour. It could be perfectly normal.

I am sorry, my mistake, I've created a new graph.

The data is extracted via SNMP. According to the MIB:

mbgLtNgRefclockStatusA - pzf     : correlation
mbgLtNgRefclockStatusB - all     : field strength

Version: LANTIME V6.14.021


Best regards,
Ben
