Hi Mike, re: > Thanks a lot for your reply. I will check with our IT support to see if > they can figure out why the latency is so large. > Please find the ldmd.conf and pqact files that we are using. I think that the cause of the high latencies that you are requesting too much (volume/#products) on single feeds. Here are the REQUEST lines I am referring to from your ldmd.conf file: REQUEST UNIDATA|NNEXRAD|FSL2|CONDUIT|FNEXRAD|NIMAGE|UNIWISC ".*" flood.atmos.uiuc.edu REQUEST UNIDATA|NNEXRAD|FSL2|CONDUIT|FNEXRAD|NIMAGE|UNIWISC ".*" idd.unidata.ucar.edu I recommend that you split these feeds. Here is one split to try first: REQUEST WMO|FNEXRAD ".*" flood.atmos.uiuc.edu REQUEST NIMAGE|NEXRAD3 ".*" flood.atmos.uiuc.edu REQUEST FSL2|UNIWISC ".*" flood.atmos.uiuc.edu REQUEST CONDUIT "[09]$" flood.atmos.uiuc.edu REQUEST CONDUIT "[18]$" flood.atmos.uiuc.edu REQUEST CONDUIT "[27]$" flood.atmos.uiuc.edu REQUEST CONDUIT "[36]$" flood.atmos.uiuc.edu REQUEST CONDUIT "[45]$" flood.atmos.uiuc.edu REQUEST WMO|FNEXRAD ".*" idd.unidata.ucar.edu REQUEST NIMAGE|NEXRAD3 ".*" idd.unidata.ucar.edu REQUEST FSL2|UNIWISC ".*" idd.unidata.ucar.edu REQUEST CONDUIT "[09]$" idd.unidata.ucar.edu REQUEST CONDUIT "[18]$" idd.unidata.ucar.edu REQUEST CONDUIT "[27]$" idd.unidata.ucar.edu REQUEST CONDUIT "[36]$" idd.unidata.ucar.edu REQUEST CONDUIT "[45]$" idd.unidata.ucar.edu NB:: - after making changes to ldmd.conf, one needs to stop/restart the LDM: <as 'ldm'> ldmadmin stop ldmamdin start OR ldmadmin restart - your original REQUEST lines were doubling up on the REQUESTs for the UNIWISC (aka MCIDAS) feed. UNIDATA == WMO|UNIWISC == IDS|DDPLUS|HDS|UNIWIS re: > Thanks again for your help! No worries. Let's start with splitting your feed REQUESTs and worry about the other issues you raised later.
