[atlas] Probe connection not holding

Hi Andre,

During the back-end problems we got probes unevenly distributed across 
controllers. Lots of probes went to ams14 and started dumping results 
they collected being offline. The ams14 is the most powerful controller 
and it went online first. Therefore it was highly biased to attract 
disconnected probes. It caused major controller slowdown and we decided 
to speed up the redistribution process by manually disconnecting some 
probes away from ams14. Most likely your probe was one of the innocent 
victims.

Sorry for the inconvenience
