Hi Marcus, re: > Our LDM has been getting data outages lately, We had some hiccups this past weekend when the machine rooms that house a number of our outward facing services were taken down. Service was mostly up by midday on Monday, but there have been some lingering problems with the machine we collect real-time IDD statistics (rtstats.unidata.ucar.edu). re: > with the message in the logs similar to this: > > ------------- > Nov 12 13:15:33 gwoemul rtstats[11147] WARN: Couldn't connect to LDM on > rtstats.unidata.ucar.edu > using either port 388 or portmapper; : RPC: Remote system error - Connection > timed out Being able to send real-time stats back to us should not have any effect on your ability to be fed data. re: > Nov 12 13:15:30 gwoemul idd.unidata.ucar.edu[11152] ERROR: Disconnecting due > to LDM failure; > Couldn't connect to LDM on idd.unidata.ucar.edu using either port 388 or > portmapper; > : RPC: Remote system error - Connection timed out This is indeed a problem. It typically means, however, that there is some problem in the network connection between you and idd.unidata.ucar.edu. Questions: - is your machine still having problems receiving data from idd.unidata.ucar.edu? - did you try restarting (ldmadmin restart) your LDM to see if the problem would clear? I will check the real server backend machines of the idd.unidata.ucar.edu cluster to see if log messages shed more light on what may be going on with the feed(s) to you.
