[CONDUIT #PNI-592429]: LDM config statement for new GFS 0.25 data

Hi Chris,

re:
> We are setting up a dedicated virtual machine for awips2/ldm.

Hmm... Depending on what the host OS is, running AWIPS2 from a
virtual machine may be a bad idea.  One of the members of the
Unidata User's Committee is running CAVE from inside of a VMware
VM running on his MAC laptop, and this seems to work well.
Other attempts of running CAVE in a VM hosted on a Windows
laptop have not worked well.

Running the LDM in a VM seems to work nicely, at least from the
reports that we have seen from users.  To our knowledge, however,
no site has attempted to ingest a LOT of data (e.g., full CONDUIT
plus other feeds) inside of a VM, so we can not comment on if
this should work well or not.

I am not sure what specs to send you based on your comments of running
AWIPS2 inside of a VM.  Specs for a real machine running AWIPS2 EDEX
(the data ingest, decoding and serving portion of AWIPS2) can be seen
in:

You can see the volume of the various IDD datastreams in links in
our IDD Operational Status -> Stats by Host pages.

lead.unidata.ucar.edu is currently ingesting _everything_ available
in all IDD feeds plus the HRRR data from NOAA/GSD, so it is a good place
to look for the high water mark for data that is available:

Please note that the FSL2 feed listed contains HRRR data being fed by
NOAA/GSD.  This is _not_ the HRRR data that is flowing in the NOAAPort
SBN, that data is included in the NGRID feed.

Cheers,

Tom
