After looking around a little bit, I did find that there is already an xml
file defined for NUCAPS data, which makes sense since you said it used to
work coming directly from a feed.
If you try renaming your files to begin with:
IUTN0[0-9] KNES[whatever the rest of your filename is]
This means it starts with: "IUTN0" and then any number 0-9, space, "KNES".
Then it's possible that EDEX might just recognize it and everything should work.
Note, there is a space between the number 0-9 and "KNES".
Please try this and let us know if this solves the problem.
Thanks!
