Hi Ziv, re: > I was hoping to get started on setting up this feed (worried might be a few > hang-ups on my side). Is there any other info you need from me? No. I just hardwired the credentials that will allow your machine (IP 192.170.232.132) to REQUEST from either of our top level IDD relay clusters, idd.unidata.ucar.edu and iddb.unidata.ucar.edu. Please test that your LDM can successfully REQUEST the NEXRAD2 feed by running the following: <as the user that the LDM is installed as on your VM> notifyme -vl- -f NEXRAD2 -h idd.unidata.ucar.edu AND notifyme -vl- -f NEXRAD2 -h iddb.unidata.ucar.edu Success will be indicated by 'notifyme' output showing the receipt of NEXRAD2 products on our relay clusters. It does not look like we are receiving MRMS data at the moment, so don't be surprised by not getting it there. If/when our MRMS feed is returned to functionality, your ~ldm/etc/ldmd.conf REQUEST line would look something like: REQUEST WMO ".*" gale.unidata.ucar.edu re: > - Public IP: 192.170.232.132 > - Port 388 is open I tried contacting an LDM on this IP address, and got nothing. It looks like the LDM is either not running, or there still is some sort of a firewall block preventing the REQUEST to port 388 on your VM. re: > Thank you for your help! No worries.
