Re: [awips2-users] CPU load on EDEX/LDM server

from qpid-stat -q -S msg -L 10


This means that 924k messages (1 msg per text product from the LDM) into the Text decoder and 873k messages out, leaving 50,4k text products waiting to be decoded.
So yes, this means that the LDM is writing incoming data to Raw Data 
Store (/data_store) faster than the EDEX decoders can decode and write 
to hdf5 Processed Data Store (/awips2/edex/data/hdf5/).  The grib 
decoder has 29k product "waiting to be decoded".
Yeah, system is I/O bound.   if you tail the text or ingestGrib logs in 
/awips2/edex/logs/ you should see some pretty high Latency times.
Kevin, have you changed any entries in pqact.conf since installing?  The 
NEXRAD3 entry, for example, only requests certain high-res products, not 
everything since EDEX standalone can not process the entire NEXRAD3 feed 
without faster disk writing.  I'm currently testing 13.5.1 server on 
identical machines, one with a solid state drive, another with a striped 
raid.
About that, I hope to make available the next beta (14.1 possibly) in 
the coming months and by then will have better disk recommendations for 
you all.   The SSD standalone server is currently handling all of 
NEXRAD3, NGRID, NIMAGE, WMO feeds as well as 0.5 deg GFS from CONDUIT, 
all without any qpid backup.  I need to turn on the GFS ensemble ingest 
to really turn the fire hose on and test.
I should also mention a problem I've seen, I call them hiccups because I 
can't pin down an exact cause.  Here's an example: turn on EDEX services 
and the LDM with default pqact entries, watch LDM/EDEX ingest and decode 
run well for day after day, until something "hiccups" and the NEXRAD 
files or grid files start to backup.  This sort of thing happens more 
frequently with 13.4 and 13.5, which is why I have kept the beta testers 
on 13.2, where these hiccups are less frequent.  I think I ran UPC 
13.2.1 for two months without any hiccups once, that's the longest stretch.
The solution is

as ldm:
* ldmadmin stop

as root:
* edex stop
* rm -rf /awips2/qpid/messageStore/ (there's a subdirectory in there, I forget exactly what it's called, in 13.5.1 it's /edex)
* edex start

as ldm again
* ldmadmin start
