Greetings,
I’m currently attempting to ingest USPLN lightning data via LDM into EDEX/CAVE,
but having some issues that I cannot seem to work past. Perhaps there’s someone
can help me?
First off, I have data flowing from the ldm LIGHTNING feed and already have an
allow on our server.
Here is my pqact entry:
LIGHTNING USPLN1EX
FILE -close -edex /awips2/data_store/lightning/%Y%m%d%H%M.uspln
Here’s what the particular file in the log looks like:
LIGHTNING-USPLN1EX,2015-03-30T18:13:00,2015-03-30T18:11:55
A file with more data entries:

Here is the relevant error message in edex-ingest-yyyymmdd.log
ERROR 2015-03-30 18:15:34,215 [Ingest.textlightning-1] TextLightningParser:
Cannot match lightning input
LIGHTNING-USPLN1EX,2015-03-30T18:13:00,2015-03-30T18:11:55

I also had to make a modification to the regex that EDEX was looking for in
/awips2/edex/data/utility/edex_static/base/distribution/textlightning.xml and
added the last two expressions:
<requestPatterns xmlns:ns2="group">
<regex>FAA_*</regex>
<regex>WWLLN_*</regex>
<regex>*USPLN1EX*</regex>
<regex>USPLN1EX*</regex>
</requestPatterns>
Lastly, here’s my /awips2/edex/data/hdf5 directory
airep bufrhdw bufrmosLAMP bufrua gfe grid mcidas
ncpafm ncuair obs poessounding QC redbook sfcobs topo
bufrascat bufrmosGFS bufrmthdw cwa goessounding lsr modelsounding
nctaf nucaps pirep profiler radar satellite svrwx
Hopefully I’ve included enough relevant information to get some help. It
doesn’t seem to be creating any lightning hdf5 files (probably due to the error
message). If anyone has any insight, that would be greatly appreciated.
