>From: Unidata User Support <address@hidden> >Organization: Unidata Program Center/UCAR >Keywords: 200305121843.h4CIhU7U016942 LDM-6 IDD rtstats Hi, FTP logs at the UPC show that at least one but not all machines at your site that run the Unidata LDM are running the current release, LDM-6.0.10. In particular, the primary IDD node at your institiution appears to still be running LDM-5, or a version that is know to contain bugs that have been fixed in the latest release. I am writing to encourage you to upgrade all of your machines that are participating in the IDD to LDM-6.0.10, and to configure them to report real time statistics back to Unidata. 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 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 If you would like help in upgrading to LDM-6.0.10, please let us know! Thanks in advance for your help... Tom Yoksas
