Howdy!
We have a pqsurf problem we've been attempting to solve without much luck.
Our goal is to split out mesonet metars into individual files to store in
a database. Mesonet data is available in the EXP feed. Tailing the
pqsurf.log file as mesonet data arrives shows that the appropriate file is
being read by pqsurf, but the FILE action is not working. We have tried a
number of combinations. The current ldmd.conf and pqsurf.conf entries
follow:
EXEC "pqsurf -v -f WMO -l /usr/local/ldm/var/logs/pqsurf.log -q
/usr/local/ldm/var/queues/ldm.pq -Q /usr/local/ldm/var/queues/pqsurf.pq -p
^S(A....|P....|XUS8.|XUS91|AEM31|AFR..)"
EXEC "pqsurf -v -f EXP -l /usr/local/ldm/var/logs/pqsurf.log -q
/usr/local/ldm/var/queues/ldm.pq -Q /usr/local/ldm/var/queues/pqsurf.pq -p
(TX.TTUmeso) /usr/local/ldm/etc/pqsurf.conf_mesonet"
EXP ^TX\.TTUmeso([0-3][0-9])([0-2][0-9])\.mtr
FILE /data/text/metars/(\3:yyyy)(\3:mm)\2\3.\1.metar
EXP ^TX\.TTUmeso([0-3][0-9])([0-2][0-9])\.mtr
EXEC /usr/local/ldm/scripts/metar.pl(\3:yyyy)(\3:mm)\2\3.\1.metar
We are using pqsurf successfully to split out WMO metars. Here's a sample
of our pqsurf log file when mesonet data arrives:

Jan 23 21:10:05 pqact[9719] INFO: 75 20120123211005.395 EXP 009

We were hoping it's just a pattern matching problem. Any ideas or
suggestions?
Thanks!
