-"""
-
-Populate api_check.n_pings and api_ping.n fields.
-
- - api_ping.n stores ping's serial number, counted separately for
- each check. For example, if a particular check has received 100 pings,
- its first ping will have a n=1, and the 100th ping will have a n=100.
-
- - api_check.n_pings stores the last serial number assigned to a ping.
- It also is the total number of pings the check has ever received.
-
-This command works by "replaying" stored pings in their primary
-key order, and counting up their serial numbers. At the very end,
-api_check.n_pings fields are updated as well.
-
-Depending on the size of api_ping table, this command can potentially
-take a long time to complete.
-
-Note on ping pruning: when the prunepings command is run, some of the
-pings with the lowest serial numbers get removed. This doesn't affect
-the "n" field for remaining pings, or the "n_pings" value of checks.
-The serial numbers keep going up.
