Hi,

FTP logs at the UPC show that someone from your institution (or, at
least, someone in the same domain as you) downloaded the latest LDM
release, LDM-6.0.10.  Since we are not receiving real time statistics
from your site or if the real time statistics show that you are
running an LDM version previous to 6.0.10:

http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/staff/chiz/rtstats/siteindex.shtml

I am writing to encourage you to upgrade to LDM-6.0.10 if you havn't
already done so, or to add the appropriate entry in your
~ldm/etc/ldmd.conf file so that you will report real time IDD
statistics.  Reporting of real time ingest statistics will help us
continually evaluate the performance of the IDD and make adjustments
when/where needed.

Building LDM-6.0.10:

  Information on building, installing, and configuring LDM-6.0.10 can
  be found online at:

  http://my.unidata.ucar.edu/content/software/ldm/ldm-6.0.10/index.html

  If you need help in upgrading to LDM-6.0.10, please let us know!

Reporting real time statistics:

  The ldmd.conf entry that needs to be added to report real time statistics
  back to Unidata is:

  exec  "rtstats -h rtstats.unidata.ucar.edu"

  This 'exec' line should be the last 'exec' line in ldmd.conf.  Please
  remember that after making this modification, you will need to stop and
  restart your LDM:

  <login as 'ldm'>
  <modify ~ldm/etc/ldmd.conf>

  ldmadmin stop
  <wait for all LDM processes to exit>
  ldmadmin start

Thanks in advance for your help!
