I don't think it should have happened, however, and it might indicate a problem with your product-queue. I'll investigate more. > Oct 05 16:58:23 idd-ingest idd.unidata.ucar.edu[13779] ERROR: pq_insert() > failed: Invalid argument: 8e1efb2f5322d97b4503cb8900f14bd4 > 4242220061005164806.699 CONDUIT 345 > /afs/.nwstg.nws.noaa.gov/ftp/SL.us008001/ST.opnl/MT.ruc_CY.16/RD.20061005/PT.grid_DF.gr1/fh.0001_$ > !grib/ncep/RUC2/#252/200610051600/F001/VVEL/hybrid_lev_46! 000345 The "pq_insert()" message isn't formatted correctly: there should be a space between the product-size (42422) and the timestamp (20061005164806.699). Was it miscopied? In any case, the message means that the given data-product couldn't be inserted into the product-queue because a function in the product-queue library determined that it was given an invalid argument. This should not have occurred and might indicate corruption of the product-queue. > Oct 05 16:58:24 idd-ingest rpc.ldmd[13773] NOTE: child 13779 exited with > status 10 The "child ... exited" message means that the downstream LDM that was receiving the CONDUIT data-feed terminated due to the previously described problems with the product-queue. This is the reason you stopped receiving CONDUIT data. > They seem to be the first errors that ocurred around the time that we quit > getting CONDUIT data. Could there be a queue corruption issue? All things considered, I think your product-queue was corrupted.
