[IDD #HGX-774709]: LDM support

Hi Kevin,

OK, no worries.

re:
> Meanwhile I need help with the configuration files, I can start the ldm
> and use ldmadmin watch to see incoming data but it is not being saved
> anywhere,

The LDM provides two basic functions:

- move products from one machine to another

  'ldmadmin watch' showing products says that this part is working now.

- doing something with the products as they are received

  This part of an LDM configuration is typically left to the end user
  as s/he knows best what their site wants to do with the data.  The
  exception to this "rule" is when a site uses another/other Unidata
  packages for which there are pattern-action files that will process
  the data in the way that is best for the package being used.  Examples
  of the packages I am alluding to are GEMPAK, McIDAS, THREDDS Data Server
  (TDS) and AWIPS-II.

The question back to you is what you want done with the various types
of data that you are REQUESTing from one or more upstream LDMs?

re:
> my logs files are not working properly.

Can you elaborate on this comment?

re:
> I could have make a mistake with the part of those logs,

If you have built and are running a current version of the LDM
(e.g., LDM-6.13.4), then the setup for LDM logging should work
"out of the box".  If you did a standard installation of a
current LDM (i.e., have not modified LDM registry values), then
the LDM log files should be written in the ~ldm/var/logs
directory, and the current one will be named ldmd.log.

Questions:

- what version of the LDM did you install?

- have you (or anyone else there) made any site-specific
  modifications to the LDM registry (the file ~ldm/etc/registry.xml)?

- what datastreams are you REQUESTing?

- what do you want to do with the various types of data that
  you are receiving?

- are you using/intending on using a Unidata visualization and
  analysis package?

  If yes, which one(s)?

  If you are, then the packages will have pattern-action files that
  will decode and or file the data for most efficient use of the
  data.

re:
> do you have any
> other set of instruccion i could follow to allow me to save my data.

Again, this will depend on what data you are receiving and what you
want to do with it.

Cheers,

Tom
