I agree ;-)

Right.  We are not getting support inquiries dealing with decoding issues from 
other sites running
5.11.1 except a couple whose problems went away when they built from source.

Not being a GEMPAK guy, I have little to offer here other than it might be 
useful to use
NMAP2 and see if the same kind of holes are showing up in it.  If they are not, 
then
the problem is in Garp.  If they are, then the problem is in the decoding.

No sorry.  I will have to get our GEMPAK person involved in this.

Here's the thing: your CONDUIT and HDS data ingestion is showing large 
latencies.
If your upstream feed host's queue is not large enough to have the data you are 
trying
to get over the period of time that you are now taking to get it, then you will 
miss
products. This seems like a real possibility for your CONDUIT ingest and less a
possibility for your HDS ingest.

Let's try a test:

- let's split the CONDUIT ingest into 10ths:

change:

request CONDUIT "([09]$)" idd.unl.edu
request CONDUIT "([18]$)" idd.unl.edu
request CONDUIT "([27]$)" idd.unl.edu
request CONDUIT "([36]$)" idd.unl.edu
request CONDUIT "([45]$)" idd.unl.edu

to:

request CONDUIT "0$" idd.unl.edu
request CONDUIT "1$" idd.unl.edu
request CONDUIT "2$" idd.unl.edu
request CONDUIT "3$" idd.unl.edu
request CONDUIT "4$" idd.unl.edu
request CONDUIT "5$" idd.unl.edu
request CONDUIT "6$" idd.unl.edu
request CONDUIT "7$" idd.unl.edu
request CONDUIT "8$" idd.unl.edu
request CONDUIT "9$" idd.unl.edu

Can't hurt...

Cheers,

Tom
