Re: [conduit] 20210830: Re: High CONDUIT latencies from vm-lnx-conduit2.ncep.noaa.gov



Kevin and all,

Yes, we are definitely large latencies on the CONDUIT data feed, and many missing products. CONDUIT is pretty much unusable right now. Once the latencies get about ~1000 seconds, we start losing products.

I am seriously considering setting up a homegrown pull from ftp.ncep.noaa.gov/feed to EXT or other.. We really need the 1p0, 0p5 and 0p25 degree data every 3h out to 384 for several projects.

Pete




Looks like Unidata is seeing similar large lags.

Hi everyone, over the past several days we’ve noticed another big degradation of GFS data receipt via CONDUIT. Pete, can you confirm the same on your end?

 

Cheers,

 

Kevin

Thanks for the update, Jesse. I can confirm that we are seeing smaller lags originating from conduit2, and since yesterday's 18 UTC run, I don't think we have missed any data here at UW-Madison. 

 

Kevin Tyle, how's your reception been at Albany since the 18 UTC run yesterday?

Pete

Thanks for the quick reply, Tom.  Looking through our conduit2 logs, we began seeing sends of product from our conduit2 to conduit1 machine after we restarted the LDM server on conduit2 yesterday.  It appears latencies improved fairly significantly at that time:

 

 

However we still do not see direct sends from conduit2 to external LDMs.  Our server team is currently looking into the TCP service issue that appears to be causing this problem. 

 

Thanks,

Jesse

Latency in the LDM/IDD context is the time difference between when a
product is first put into an LDM queue for redistribution and the time
it is received by a downstream machine.  This measure of latency, of
course, requires that the clocks on the originating and receiving
machines be maintained accurately.

re:

The machine on which the product is inserted into the LDM queue is
available in the LDM transaction.  We provide an website where users
can create graphs of things like feed latencies:

Unidata HomePage
https://www.unidata.ucar.edu

   IDD Operational Status
   https://rtstats.unidata.ucar.edu/rtstats/

     Real-time IDD Statistics -> Statistics by Host
     https://rtstats.unidata.ucar.edu/cgi-bin/rtstats/siteindex

The variety of measures of feed quality for the Unidata machine that
is REQUESTing the CNODUIT feed from the NCEP cluster can be found in:

https://rtstats.unidata.ucar.edu/cgi-bin/rtstats/siteindex?conduit.unidata.ucar.edu

The latencies being reported by the Unidata machine that is being fed
from the NCEP cluster is:

CONDUIT latencies on conduit.conduit.unidata.ucar.edu:

https://rtstats.unidata.ucar.edu/cgi-bin/rtstats/iddstats_nc?CONDUIT+conduit.unidata.ucar.edu

As you can see, the traces are color color coded, and the label at the
top identifies the source machines for products.

re:

Hmm...  we are.

Excellent!  We are hopeful that the source of the high latencies will
be identified and fixed.

Cheers,

Tom
