Hi Christian, > What would be the recommended size for the LDM queue size? That depends on the rate that you receive data. We recommend a queue large enough so that the age of the oldest product in the queue is greater than one hour. To determine this size, one can either add up the rates of the various feeds (which is difficult in your case because you get a subset of the CONDUIT feed) or use the "ldmadmin addmetrics" and "ldmadmin plotmetrics" commands to see a time-series of the age of the oldest product (that's my preferred method). If the minimum age is, say, 30 minutes, then the queue size would need to be doubled. Information on the "metrics" commands can be found at <https://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/ldm/ldm-current/basics/monitoring.html#metrics>.
