20050106: RTSTATS question

Celia,

Yes, the times are latency for a product.

You have a machine "clamp" that is feeding from both
thelma.ucar.edu and f5.aos.wisc.edu as you see here:
http://my.unidata.ucar.edu/cgi-bin/rtstats/iddstats_nc?CONDUIT+clamp.rap.ucar.edu

You also see that alost the entire volume yopu are receiving is coming via
thelma, and very little via f5:
http://my.unidata.ucar.edu/cgi-bin/rtstats/iddstats_vol_nc?CONDUIT+clamp.rap.ucar.edu

I suspect that your queue isn't large enough to hold 1 hours worth of data,
and that periodically, you receive an old product from f5 that you already 
received from thelma, but has since been scoured out of your queue-
so you receive it a second time from the redundant feeder.

You can use the ldm program "pqmon" to show you the age of the oldest product 
in your
queue. If this is falling below 1 hour (3600 seconds) and you are feeding from
more than 1 host, you could receive a product that you had previously received
but has since been scoured out of your queue to make room for new data.
