Hi Samuel, I just got back from my lunch meeting... re: > Again, thank you for your help. No worries. We are glad to help when we can. > I see you commented out the crontab entry: > 17 00 * * * /home/ldm/restartldm Yes. > Thank you, I was about to remove it myself. Very good. I think that restarting the LDM is the wrong approach when experiencing data receipt irregularities. > I thought that the files being created in > /data/ldm/gempak/images/sat/GOES-11/4km/VIS > stopped after midnight because of a bug, and just by conincedence I would > restart lmd > around 10:00am in the morning, and the files would start being generated > again. Hmm... are you sure that the you were seeing interruption of GOES-West (GOES-11) data and not GOES-12 data? The reason I ask is that data from GOES-East has been observing a blackout period from more-or-less 3:45 UTC - 6:15 UTC. > Now I realize it's not a bug that's fixed by re-starting ldm. Correct. If there really is a data outage, I would suspect that the upstream IDD site you are requesting the data from is having a problem (or their upstream, etc.). > This brings up a few questions though: > > 1. Most importantly: Should this data be in /data/ldm/gempak, or > /data/ldm/mcidas? McIDAS doesn't care where the data is put. The serving of the data through ADDE simply has to be adjusted to point at the correct place on disk. > Isn't crontab is setup for /data/ldm/mcidas? Yes, but you must remember that I created the pattern-action files and associated crontab entries for sites that are using McIDAS exclusively. If the site (CUP) is also using GEMPAK (very likely), then the site administrator (you) have to take this into account and adjust: - the patterns used for processing the data so that you are only processing the data once - the ADDE server setup to correctly find the data on disk however you decide to write it - the crontab entries for data scouring to scour where you are writing the data Question: - what is your primary objective? Do you want a setup that provides the data for both GEMPAK and McIDAS? If yes, then there will need to be a review of the ~ldm/etc/ldmd.conf entries and the pqact.conf* actions that are run to do the work needed > 2. Not as important: Why do the files in > /data/ldm/gempak/images/sat/GOES-11/4km/VIS > stop around midnight, and start again at 10:00am? They shouldn't, AND I don't believe that they are. The plot of volume received by shu.cup.edu from the UNIWISC datastream: http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/cgi-bin/rtstats/iddstats_vol_nc?UNIWISC+shu.cup.edu is the same as that from the site inserting those data into the IDD: http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/cgi-bin/rtstats/iddstats_vol_nc?UNIWISC+unidata2.ssec.wisc.edu And, the data being received from GOES-West shows no interruption: <as 'mcidas' on

By the way, as soon as we can get your machine fully setup, it will be easy to evaluate your data ingest/processing using McIDAS ADDE. In order to do this, access to port 112 will need to be opened in the CUP firewall. Also, I _strongly_ recommend that telnet access be turned off immediately. Instead, please open SSH access (port 22) for machines in the CUP LAN and for machines here at Unidata. The subnets that we use are: 128.117.140. 128.117.156. If access needs to be limited to certain machines, please make sure that the following two machines are allowed access: laraine.unidata.ucar.edu 128.117.140.62 yakov.unidata.ucar.edu 128.117.156.86 By the way, I am still unable to telnet to shu.cup.edu from my workstation here at Unidata (yakov.unidata.ucar.edu). This is very odd given that I could telnet to shu from my home machine.
