:)
But I am only doing a couple of checks..
I get 21.598 Credits per day for "Probe Uptime" but can only spend 
15.000 credits/day? ;)
yet 62k credits is way to high for 15k credits..

I only do:
1 ping from 10 probes (300s)
1 traceroute from 10 probes (900s)
1 traceroute6 from 10 probes (900s)
1 traceroute from 1 probe (900s)
1 traceroute6 from 1 probe (900s)

What would be better values? What kind of measurements do the other 
users do?

the graphs are one reason yes - but if I want to decrease the probe 
count/measurement interval I would have to enter all input again..

let's see what other mailing list members say..
