Re: [ldm-users] NEXRAD2 Latency/Fragmented Data?

Are you seeing the latency incoming??
Or disk write ??

I'm not seeing it on the system your feeding from ..

your pqact is a little odd ...
here is what I'm using

NEXRAD2 ^L2-BZIP2/(....)/([0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-1][0-9][0-3][0-9])([0-2][0-9][0-5][0-9]).*
    FILE    -close    /usr/local/ldm/data/raw/level2/\1/\1_\2_\3

We are (and have been for some time) seeing a huge latency (between 30 to 90 minutes) on the NEXRAD2 feed. At present, our constellation of three servers are pulling from Texas A&M (bigbird & idd) and Michigan Weather Systems.

Are there network issues or something I might be missing?

Additionally, I'm noticing that the data we do receive is often incomplete. For example, the most recent scan I received for KFWS (who has been in 212 for the last few hours) included only 7 of the 14 tilts for reflectivity, and some of the volume scans (like VIL) were absent entirely.

It's entirely possible that I need to tweak my pqact.conf settings, but it seems like we didn't start having issues until the latency kicked up in the last week or two. Here is what we have now (an excerpt from pqact.conf...feel free to correct me if we've got this wrong):

    # L2 data
    NEXRAD2
    ^L2-BZIP2/(....)/([0-9]{8})([0-9]{4})[0-9]{2}/([0-9]{1,4}).*/[SI]
      FILE    data/nexrad2/\1/\1_\2-\3.part
    NEXRAD2 ^L2-BZIP2/(....)/([0-9]{8})([0-9]{4})[0-9]{2}/([0-9]{1,4}).*/E
      FILE    -close data/nexrad2/\1/\1_\2-\3.part
    NEXRAD2 ^L2-BZIP2/(....)/([0-9]{8})([0-9]{4})[0-9]{2}/([0-9]{1,4}).*/E
      EXEC    safemv data/nexrad2/\1/\1_\2-\3.part
    data/nexrad2/\1/\1_\2-\3


If anyone else would be willing to provide an "ALLOW" entry for one or two of our servers for NEXRAD2, we would be very appreciative. (We're bringing on several new servers over the next two or three months...with at least one being 1Gbps...and we will be happy to share the bandwidth and spread the love.)

Thanks,
