EDEX Settings
Plugin Configuration
The directory /awips2/edex/conf/resources contains configuration text files for specific plugins, which allow for user-defined values which are read by AWIPS plugins on EDEX start:
acarssounding.properties
autobldsrv.properties
com.raytheon.edex.plugin.gfe.properties
com.raytheon.edex.text.properties
com.raytheon.uf.common.registry.ebxml.properties
com.raytheon.uf.edex.archive.cron.properties
com.raytheon.uf.edex.database.properties
com.raytheon.uf.edex.registry.ebxml.properties
distribution.properties
edex-localization-http.properties
edex-requestsrv.properties
edex-uengine.properties
eventBus.properties
ftp.properties
goesr.properties
grib.properties
maintenance.properties
proxy.properties
purge.properties
quartz.properties
radar.properties
stats.properties
textdbsrv.properties
warning.properties
Look at purge.properties for example:
# Master switch to enable and disable purging
purge.enabled=true
# Interval at which the purge job kicks off
purge.cron=0+0/15+*+*+*+?
# Interval at which the outgoing files are purged
purge.outgoing.cron=0+30+*+*+*+?
# Interval at which the logs are purged
purge.logs.cron=0+30+0+*+*+?
# Interval at which hdf5 orphans are purged
purge.orphan.period=24h
# Number of days older than the earliest known data to delete.
purge.orphan.buffer=7
...
In grib.properties, goesr.properties, and radar.properties you can adjust the number of decoder threads for each plugin.
cat radar.properties
# Number threads for radar products ingested from the SBN
radar-decode.sbn.threads=5
Ingest Modes
By default, EDEX starts three "modes": ingest, ingestGrib, and request (each as its own JVM).
The file /awips2/edex/conf/modes/modes.xml contains all available mode definitions, including some specific modes for Hydro Server Applications, ebXML Registries, Data Delivery, and more.
EDEX services are registered through spring, and by including or excluding specific spring files (usually by datatype plugin name) we can finely customize EDEX startup.
In /awips2/edex/conf/modes/modes.xml there are a number of unused plugin decoders excluded because the data are not available outside of the SBN:
...
<mode name="ingest">
<exclude>.*request.*</exclude>
<exclude>edex-security.xml</exclude>
<exclude>ebxml.*\.xml</exclude>
<exclude>grib-decode.xml</exclude>
<exclude>grid-staticdata-process.xml</exclude>
<exclude>.*(dpa|taf|nctext).*</exclude>
<exclude>webservices.xml</exclude>
<exclude>.*datadelivery.*</exclude>
<exclude>.*bandwidth.*</exclude>
<exclude>.*sbn-simulator.*</exclude>
<exclude>hydrodualpol-ingest.xml</exclude>
<exclude>grid-metadata.xml</exclude>
<exclude>.*ogc.*</exclude>
<exclude>obs-ingest-metarshef.xml</exclude>
<exclude>ffmp-ingest.xml</exclude>
<exclude>scan-ingest.xml</exclude>
<exclude>cwat-ingest.xml</exclude>
<exclude>fog-ingest.xml</exclude>
<exclude>vil-ingest.xml</exclude>
<exclude>preciprate-ingest.xml</exclude>
<exclude>qpf-ingest.xml</exclude>
<exclude>fssobs-ingest.xml</exclude>
<exclude>cpgsrv-spring.xml</exclude>
</mode>
...
In this example, request, ebXML, grib plugins, OGC and other plugins are excluded because they are included in their own mode/JVM.
Note: TAF and NCTEXT plugins are disabled here due to performance issues.
JVM Memory
The directory /awips2/edex/etc/ contains files which define the amount of memory used for each of the three EDEX JVMs (ingest, ingestGrib, request):
ls -al /awips2/edex/etc/
-rw-r--r-- 1 awips fxalpha 1287 Jul 24 18:41 centralRegistry.sh
-rw-r--r-- 1 awips fxalpha 1155 Jul 24 18:42 default.sh
-rw-r--r-- 1 awips fxalpha 1956 Jul 24 18:41 ingestGrib.sh
-rw-r--r-- 1 awips fxalpha 337 Jul 24 18:36 ingest.sh
-rw-r--r-- 1 awips fxalpha 848 Jul 24 18:42 profiler.sh
-rw-r--r-- 1 awips fxalpha 1188 Jul 24 18:41 registry.sh
-rw-r--r-- 1 awips fxalpha 601 Jul 24 18:36 request.sh
Each file contains the Xmx definition for maximum memory:
...
export INIT_MEM=512 # in Meg
export MAX_MEM=4096 # in Meg
...
After editing these files, you must restart : service edex_camel restart.
