[TIGGE #BGR-338705]: A problem when perform LDM tests

Manuel,
 
> This morning, we have made some changes to the configuration of our LDM.

> $pq_slots =~ s/G//;
> $pq_slots *= 1000*1000*1000;
> $pq_slots /= 430000;
> $pq_slots = int($pq_slots);

The above indicates that the product-queue is sized almost perfectly:
the number of bytes used is almost 12 GB and almost all the slots are
used.  Congratulations!

I would create a time-series of the "nbytes" and "nprods" parameters
to ensure that this condition continues to hold.
