We are having an unusual problem with LDM. We are running the AWIPS-2 version
of LDM that is redistributed by Raytheon and the NWS (the versions are based on
ldm-6.8.1).
We have an upstream LDM box that feeds two downstream LDMs with similar
pqact.conf and ldmd.conf files. One box simply writes files out for an
archive, while the other box writes data in the same structure, but also is
connected to AWIPS-2 (using edexBridge) sending messages for ingest and
processing. When running a pqutil command (e.g., pqutil -w -f NIMAGE ldm.pq)
on both downstream boxes we verify that each product queue is updated very
nearly simultaneously. However, we see one box write out its data
instantaneously while the other may be delayed by 20 or more minutes.
Yesterday the ldm that fed AWIPS-2 was behind, and today the archive box is
behind. We made a hardware configuration change on the AWIPS-2 box today but
no change whatsoever was made to the archive box.
Does anyone have any ideas what could cause this behavior?
Thanks,
