[LDM #SER-849220]: Request for adding new IPs to allowed LDM connection

Hi Gyorgyi,

No worries.

I thought that this would be the case.

I agree with you, but the LDM developer pursued a different course...

re:

The redundancy has to with feeds, not specific products.

I just took a look and saw that none of your machines are reporting real-time
IDD stats, or, at least, if they are reporting, they are reporting using
some other name(s).  Reporting real time stats helps us to troubleshoot
when feed problems arise, so I want to strongly encourage you to change
the configuration on your machines to report those stats.

If you aren't reporting stats, it is probably due to one or two different
situations:

- the 'EXEC "rtstats ..."' line in the LDM configuration file, 
~ldm/etc/ldmd.conf
  is commented out

  If this is the case, simply uncomment the line and stop/restart your LDM.

- if the 'EXEC "rtstats ..."' line is not commented out, then it should 
  mean that the local, department, college or university firewall is
  not allowing outbound traffic to port 388 on our rtstats.unidata.ucar.edu
  machine

  This would not be usual given that the firewall(s) are configured to
  ALLOW LDM REQUESTs from both UCAR and Penn State machines, but it is
  possible.

re:
> Anyways, thank you so much for your help,

No worries.

Cheers,

Tom
