[TIGGE #EEC-237791]: Memory problem with LDM Server at CMA

["Unidata IDD TIGGE Support" <support-idd-tigge@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

MA Qiang,

You are correct: no swap is being used.  My mistake.

The "nprods" and "nempty" variables indicate that the product-queue is
limited by the amount of data space and not by the number of slots.

The age of the oldest product is still less than one hour.

> I am very interested in ploting time series of the parameters. Could you please send me some scripts?

I've enclosed the script "plotUptime".  A typical invocation would be

    plotUptime -u ldm01 -f logs/tigge-ldm.uptime tigge-ldm.cma.gov.cn </dev/null

> Our networker administrator has disabled the tgn06's ssh port on firewall, because the testing application for ssh was out of date. I attach the ldmd.conf to this e-mail.

The entry "ALLOW	ANY	tgn00	.*" allows any computer
with "tgn00" in its fully-qualified hostname to request data.  This
is probably not what you want.

The entry "allow	ANY	depot\.cmc\.ec\.gc\.ca	.*" allows
any computer with "depot.cmc.ec.gc.ca" in its name to obtain data.
This is why the request from "accessdepot-nat.cmc.ec.gc.ca"
is denied.

I've attached a modified LDM configuration-file that should work better.
You should check it against your existing configuration-file.  The
main difference is the increased use of regular-expression anchors:
start-of-string (^) and end-of-string ($).

Steve Emmerson
