[IDD #ITN-792291]: request for upstream feed site

Hi Robert,

This reply is being CCed to the LDM/IDD site administrator at Penn State
University (PSU):

Art Person <address@hidden>

Please be advised that the NXRDSRC feedtype is one used internally
at NCDC only.  The other feeds you should be able to get from Penn State
University (PSU) from their toplevel IDD relay machine, 
idd-ingest.meteo.psu.edu.

Penn State University should be willing to feed you the streams that you
desire. You can verify that you are allowed to receive the NEXRAD2, NEXRAD3,
NIMAGE, and UNIWISC datastreams from PSU as follows:

<as 'ldm'>
notifyme -vl- -f "NEXRAD2|NEXRAD3|NIMAGE|UNIWISC" -h idd-ingest.meteo.psu.edu

If your request is "reclassed" to a smaller subset of these feeds, then
the LDM site administrator at PSU (Art Person, who is CCed on this reply) will
need to alter permissions to allow your requests.

NB:

- the volumes of the various feeds above are substantial.  You will need
  to create multiple feed requests to accommodate all of these feeds.  I
  suggest the following as a starting point:

  in ~ldm/etc/ldmd.conf:

request  NEXRAD2  ".*"  idd-ingest.meteo.psu.edu
request  NEXRAD3  ".*"  idd-ingest.meteo.psu.edu
request  "NIMAGE|UNIWISC"  ".*"  idd-ingest.meteo.psu.edu

- you will likely need to create an LDM queue larger than the default to
  accommodate these data.  I suggest that you start with the following:

  in ~ldm/etc/ldmadmin-pl.conf:

change:

$pq_size = "400M";

to:

$pq_size = "1G";

  If you have already created your queue with the default size, you will
  need to delete and remake it:

  ldmadmin stop
  ldmadmin delqueue
  ldmadmin mkqueue
  ldmadmin start            <- after you make the needed changes/additions
                               to ~ldm/etc/ldmd.conf

> Thanks,

No worries.

I have added you as the site LDM/IDD site administrator at NCSU/SIRL in:
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/idd/sitelist.html.  Please verify that
the information listed is correct (and acceptable).

Cheers,

Tom
