Hi Tom, re: > We noticed all of our ldm datafeeds are currently down after months of > constant data flow. And idea of what's the problem? It appears to have > stopped at noon today. > > Help! Questions: - is there any indication for the reason for the failure(s) in your LDM log file? - from what upstream host(s) are you REQUESTing feeds? - has there been any change to the network at UK? Please try the following: - get the name of the upstream host that was providing you with one or more feeds - check to make sure that DNS still exists for this host For example, if you were REQUESTing IDS|DDPLUS from idd.unidata.ucar.edu, run the following: <as 'ldm'> nslookup idd.unidata.ucar.edu If this resolves to 128.117.140.3, then try to contact the upstream host using the LDM utility 'notifyme': notifyme -vl- -f "IDS|DDPLUS" -h idd.unidata.ucar.edu -o 3600 NB: replace 'idd.unidata.ucar.edu' in the above example with the name of the host that you have setup in your LDM configuration file, ~ldm/etc/ldmd.conf Please send us the results of the above test.
