LDM-IDD users, With the addition of radar data being delivered via the IDD (starting 01/01/01), it is important that ALL sites are reporting their statistics to the Unidata Program Center. This will help us to monitor the extra load from the NEXRAD products and to provide qualitative feedback to better serve the community. To see if your site is currently reporting statistics to the UPC you can check the FOS latency page: http://unidata.ucar.edu/projects/idd/status/idd/fosTopo.html You may be reporting statistics correctly, but if your upstream host is not, your statistics will be missing. That is why it is so important for everyone to report their statistics. This way the latency and routing web-pages will more accurately depict the current condition of the IDD network. If your site is sending in statistics and they are not showing up on the web pages, please let us know after checking process described in URLS below. To ensure your statistics are being generated and then mailed to the UPC please follow the instructions at the following URLS: http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/cgi-bin/man-cgi?pqbinstats+1 and http://unidata.ucar.edu/cgi-bin/man-cgi?mailpqstats+1 At this time we also request that you check the sitelist for any changes or updates to your connections, machine names, site administrator, etc.: http://unidata.ucar.edu/projects/idd/sitelist.html As always, please direct questions to address@hidden Thank you, -Jeff ____________________________ _____________________ Jeff Weber address@hidden Unidata Support PH:303-497-8676 NWS-COMET Case Study Library FX:303-497-8690 University Corp for Atmospheric Research 3300 Mitchell Ln http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/staff/jweber Boulder,Co 80307-3000 ________________________________________ ______________________
