[LDM #AFT-567406]: GOES-17 data filing question

Did you change how you are REQUESTing the SATELLITE feed products in the
last few days?

First comment:

If this really is the REQUEST line you are using, it shouldn't work
since the name of the feed is SATELLITE not Satellite.  To check this,
please send the output of:

<as 'ldm' on vulcan'
cd ~ldm
grep -i ^request etc/ldmd.conf

A quick look at the volume of SATELLITE data that vulcan is reporting
as being received shows that it is not getting everything wanted:

http://rtstats.unidata.ucar.edu/cgi-bin/rtstats/iddstats_vol_nc?SATELLITE+vulcan.science.sjsu.edu

We know that all of the real-server backends of our idd.unidata.ucar.edu
cluster are getting all of the SATELLITE data.  This is most easily seen
by looking at the volume of SATELLITE from one or more of those real
server backend machines.  For example:

http://rtstats.unidata.ucar.edu/cgi-bin/rtstats/iddstats_vol_nc?SATELLITE+node2.unidata.ucar.edu

Even though you are not REQUESTing all of the SATELLITE feed, the volume
and peaks/valleys in volume is _heavily_ dominated by the FullDisk images
especially Channel 02 (0.64 um) images.

re:

Hmm...

I do see latency issues on vulcan for the SATELLITE feed:

http://rtstats.unidata.ucar.edu/cgi-bin/rtstats/iddstats_nc?SATELLITE+vulcan.science.sjsu.edu

especially from 0-14 UTC on the 29th.

re:
> But not sure if that is related or not, and why would it only cause

The FullDisk images in the SATELLITE feed are _the largest by far_ of any
products being distributed in the IDD, especially the Channel 02 images
which can be upwards of 440 MB in size.

re:

The first thing we want to see is all of the actual REQUEST lines in your
LDM configuration file, ~ldm/etc/ldmd.conf.

The next thing that we want to see is the outputs of:

/sbin/ifconfig -a    <- to get the name of your Ethernet interface

dmesg | grep <name of your Ethernet interface>

Cheers,

Tom
