[LDM #QXS-738090]: ldm questions

Hi Mike,

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.

Cheers,

Tom
