Re: [ldm-users] NEXRAD3 configuration in pqact.conf

Hi Blair,

We have this line:

NEXRAD3 ^SDUS[2345678]. .... ([0-3][0-9])([0-2][0-9])([0-6][0-9]).*/p(N[0-3CVET][QVRSULTPXCKHM]|RSL)(...) STDIOFILE -overwrite -close /home/ldm/nexrad/\5/\4/\4_(\1:yyyy)(\1:mm)\1_\2\3.nids

which writes the files out as:

/home/ldm/nexrad/<station>/<product>/<product>_YYYYMMDD_HHMM.nids

for the products that are selected by the regexp before the STDIOFILE expression.

We're pulling the firehose feed of NEXRAD3 on one of our servers to feed/relay to several people, but I'd also like to store some of them on disk.

However, going by the documentation, I can't seem to get pqact.conf set up correctly to write the data to a file in a similar manner to how we "stash" NEXRAD2 scans.

Can someone help me translate the NEXRAD3 equivalent of this (from our pqact.conf file):

    # Data blocks are received...but we don't have all the parts.
    NEXRAD2
    ^L2-BZIP2/(....)/([0-9]{8})([0-9]{4})[0-9]{2}/([0-9]{1,4}).*/[SI]
            FILE    nexrad2/\1/\1_\2-\3.nexrad2
    # The last piece of the scan is received.  We now have the whole scan.
    NEXRAD2 ^L2-BZIP2/(....)/([0-9]{8})([0-9]{4})[0-9]{2}/([0-9]{1,4}).*/E
            FILE    -close nexrad2/\1/\1_\2-\3.nexrad2


This outputs in this format:
~/data/nexrad2/KXXX/KXXX_YYYYMMDD_HHMM.nexrad2

(We have a folder for each site and then files inside that folder with the Ymd_HM date format (and just an arbitrary extension.)

Any help would be greatly appreciated...the documentation appears to be sort of thin and out of date on this topic.
