Thanks for these examples. We are on the case and will let you know when we are running with the new code and monitors will the other name fields mentioned above.
Do be aware btw, that it takes a day or two until the changes make their way into the analysis. I hope we will be able to make it all a bit snappier in time but I find it best to work in an area then wait for a couple of days and revisit it. We did also have a long outage over xmas and the new year of course. Apologies and we will to avoid a repeat. Fyi there were two issues. Firstly the DB had grown so much that it no longer fitted in the solid-state disk we use for holding it during processing and we needed to purchase a new bigger one. Secondly... when we had installed the new drive we found that the OSM nodes DB had just exceeded what could be represented in 32bit number format and we needed to move to 64bit format. All signs that we have a successful project on our hands and it should be a long time before we exceed 64bits!
