Re: Latency/Bandwidth issues from idd.unidata ?



Daryl,

For that northeast composite, RADDUR is set to 20 minutes. I'd probably not want to include data any older than that - closer to real-time is preferred. But I'm not sure which stations are the offending ones. 

I've been looking at the ls -l on several nearby NEXRAD sites, and all seem to be within a minute or two of real time. For example, here's Chicago/LOT

I see there are few new emails since I started this reply and got distracted.. I'll read those and respond as appropriate.

Hi Pete,

Your `nex2gini` process would be sensitive to latencies as timestamped files fall outside the RADDUR setting for your composite.  Do you have it something tight like 15 minutes?  A look on disk `ls -l` of your raw nexrad3 products may show you such things as you compare VCP times and the local file write times.

I was about to send this to ldm-users but I wonder if it's related to this.

I had been feeding NEXRAD3 data from idd.ssec.wisc.edu and am seeing rouge NEXRAD3 products coming from that same rouge source (wxengine4.fox.com)

I just changed to idd.unidata.ucar.edu and I am still seeing NEXRAD3 products with a source of wxengine4.fox.com.

I wonder if these products may be the source of the flashing/dropouts on my radar composites like this

https://tempest.aos.wisc.edu/radar/ne3comphtml5.html

Or if maybe there is just some other weirdness causing that, that Daryl described below..

Here is a little of a recent rtstats report from idd-agg on the NEXRAD3 feed, showing data from

Subject: Latency/Bandwidth issues from idd.unidata ?

Hi Unidata,

Ufff, I've been having quite the time recently and don't wish to send you off on goose chases, but over the past number of days, maybe all the way since the NEXRAD3 super-res addition, I have been seeing puzzling latency from various Unidata hosts to me here at ISU over the IDD.  As an example raw bandwidth test:

$ wget https://motherlode.ucar.edu/decoded/gempak/model/gfs/2022030700_gfs215.gem

2.36MB/s  first test.
25.6MB/s second test a few minutes later.
52.8MB/s max on third test, but bouncing around a bunch

I am trying this from different data centers at ISU to see about isolating against local congestion.

So I am reviewing rtstats metrics and for example, for me:

https://rtstats.unidata.ucar.edu/cgi-bin/rtstats/iddstats_nc?IDS|DDPLUS+idd-dc.agron.iastate.edu

You can see a lot of "chop" between 0 and 300 seconds.  I looked at Pete's and observe similar chop.

https://rtstats.unidata.ucar.edu/cgi-bin/rtstats/iddstats_nc?IDS|DDPLUS+idd1.aos.wisc.edu

with these strange "blips" up to 50 seconds for me.  Looking at other feeds, there's been some odd things too:

https://rtstats.unidata.ucar.edu/cgi-bin/rtstats/iddstats_nc?NEXRAD2+idd1.aos.wisc.edu

It feels like there are gremlins in the system.  Over the past few week, I have multiple times found LDM 6.13.16 seemingly stuck, not moving much of any data, whilst upstream `notifyme` shows data flowing, but even sometimes not showing data flowing.

Golly, this email is horrible for you folks to offer support for.  I guess an overall question.

Are any known troubles (bandwidth, latency) afoot with {idd,iddb}.unidata.ucar.edu afoot?  I keep switching between idd, iddb, and idd.aos(Pete, cc'd), attempting to find stable flows.  I sometimes find the need to re-create the queue to make things happy.

My local monitoring on my LDM queue age does show dipping below 3600 seconds these days, so I will effort getting that expanded, but figured I would ping you folks to see if you know what is going on?

thanks
daryl
