Hi Eric, When you run "ldmadmin watch" as user awips (su - awips -c "ldmadmin watch") you should see products scrolling by which are in your local data queue. If you do not see this then your local LDM is not receiving data from the upstream IDD server. If the LDM is receiving data, the next thing to check is that the files are being written to /awips2/data_store - make sure permissions are set up so that user awips:fxalpha can read/write in that directory. If there are files being written to /awips2/data_store, the next thing to check are the EDEX logs: edex log edex log grib edex log radar You should see continuous "processed" messages for the various data types.
