RSV Brief Outage

The production RSV collector (rsv.grid.iu.edu) experienced a brief service outage shortly before 3pm EDT today. Service has now been restored. No RSV records are expected to be lost -- the RSV clients will resend the records when the server comes back up, and RSV-SAM transport will also catch up by itself.
