Hi Gilbert, re: > This is true, but when you do this for 30 minutes and that get anything, it’s > safe to > say that nothing is coming in. Sounds reasonable! I must say that I have never had the patience to wait for 30 minutes when running 'notifyme' interactively :-) re: > And it’s really weird: when we feed from our satellite > dish, or from Patrick Francis’ satellite dish at modelweather.com, we do not > get the > GOES-16 products on NOTHER.

That is totally weird indeed! re: > Get this: when we feed from the College of DuPage, we get everything fine. That matches our experience with downstreams of the top level IDD relays we operate, idd.unidata.ucar.edu and its backup iddb.unidata.ucar.edu never report not getting data ** unless there is some problem with a stale feed process **. This happens rarely enough that I hesitated to even mention it. re: > We have > synced all of our servers, including bird01, our satellite ingester, first to > Google’s > server, and then to others that are stratum one or two, restarting NTP each > time, and > even rebooting the server, but it makes no difference! I’m stumped. The thing about keeping servers synced is so that when (re)establishing a connection the "send me the products from 'n' seconds ago" does not get waylaid by there being a difference in the clocks on the up and downstream machines. Once a connection is established AND DOES NOT BREAK, data should continue to flow unless there is a problem. I am sure that Steve will ask for the output from the LDM log files on both the upstream and downstream machines that cover the situation where data is flowing and then stops. This is the only way that the cessation of flow can be troubleshot. And it may be necessary to have the upstream LDM logging in verbose mode (ouch!) when the failure (meaning cessation of product movement) happens. Other than what I said in this and the previous email, I'm totally out of ideas :-( Cheers, Tom -- **************************************************************************** Unidata User Support UCAR Unidata Program (303) 497-8642 P.O.
