Hi Daryl, re: > I am seeing major LDM latencies from idd.unidata.ucar.edu starting about > 2 AM CDT this morning. Do you have a bad node there? Question: - on which iastate.edu machine are you observing high latencies, and are these for all datastreams or one in particular? I think that it is metfs1.agron.iastate.edu, but I want to make sure. re: > I tried to evaluate via the online rtstats, but they all appear to be > broken at the moment? The real-time stats processing were moved to a new machine. Evidently, one of the side effects of this move is cached links to particular machines/feeds no longer work (but try forcing a reload of the link anyway). What definitely does work is: Unidata HomePage www.unidata.ucar.edu Data -> IDD Operational Status http://rtstats.unidata.ucar.edu/rtstats/ Statistics by Host http://rtstats.unidata.ucar.edu/cgi-bin/rtstats/siteindex etc. I am assuming that the iastate.edu machine that you were experiencing high latencies on is metfs1.agron.iastate.edu (true?) because it is the machine that is REQUESTing data from idd.unidata.ucar.edu. Checks of latencies for all datastreams being received on metfs1.agron.iastate.edu shows that they were very high sometime this morning, but the situation cleared-up suddenly and the latencies have been very low since. Since we have done nothing to any of the real server backends of the idd.unidata.ucar.edu cluster, I have to assume that the cause of the high latencies was likely a router somewhere between your and our machines.
