Gabriel,

I'm investigating your problem and need your help.

The logfile that you attached contained a lot of distracting entries, so
I applied the following filter to it:

    egrep -v 'to LDM 6 on striker|striker\[8872\]: Desired|eldm\[8873\]: 
Desired|pnga2area|nullproc_6 failure to eldm' log.bak

because

    1.  Striker isn't allowing your LDM to connect.

    2.  The LDM on host Eldm has problems.

    3.  The log message from pnga2area(1) are irrelevant.

This resulted in the following:

The interesting thing here is that from 2005-01-31T14:43:22 to
2005-01-31T20:45:34 UTC the LDM was, apparently, working OK.  At that
later time, however, an ldmping(1) process was started and determined
that the LDM wasn't available.  A pqcheck(1) process that was started at
the same time, however, indicated that the LDM product-queue had ten 
writers into it.

Who started that ldmping(1) process and why?  Was it a part of a larger
script (started by crontab(1) perhaps)?  Could that script also do bad
things to the product-queue?

The logfile entry just prior to that ldmping(1) entry is

    Jan 31 20:43:28 twister eldm[8873]: ERROR: requester6.c:455; 
ldm_clnt.c:286: nullproc_6 failure to eldm.fsl.noaa.gov; ldm_clnt.c:142: RPC: 
Unable to receive; errno = Connection reset by peer 

which is 2 minutes 4 seconds earlier than the ldmping(1) entry.  So the
LDM system appears to have been working up to that time -- with no
indication of a problem other than those unreachable hosts.

When the LDM system is running, can you ldmping(1) it?

Regards,
Steve Emmerson
