Hi Carol, re: > It looks like our GOES-R ldm feed stopped about 9 am MDT or 15 UTC this > morning. Greg checked to make sure ldm was running fine on our > typhoon.eol.ucar.edu server, and he didn't see files come in through > the ldmadmin watch. Hmm... re: > Are we pointing to the correct server? idd.unidata.ucar.edu? Yes. re: > Is there a different unidata server that we should be pointing to? No, but you could also REQUEST the SATELLITE (aka DIFAX) feed from our backup IDD relay cluster, iddb.unidata.ucar.edu. We do not see a problem in the SATELLITE feed -- we use this feed to distribute GOES-16 GRB products (ABI, GLM, etc.) to our top level servers, and I see current GOES-16 imagery on both of the servers that are actively feeding. A random real time stats selection of the real server backends of both of our relay clusters show continuous data: iddb.unidata.ucar.edu - cluster0.unidata.ucar.edu http://rtstats.unidata.ucar.edu/cgi-bin/rtstats/iddstats_vol_nc?DIFAX+cluster0.unidata.ucar.edu idd.unidata.ucar.edu - uni14.unidata.ucar.edu http://rtstats.unidata.ucar.edu/cgi-bin/rtstats/iddstats_vol_nc?DIFAX+uni14.unidata.ucar.edu As an end-to-end test, I used McIDAS to list the 10 most recent Channel 13 Full Disk images received by the LDM on two of our data server machines.
