Checking the Filing Status of McIDAS-XCD Data

To check the status of the McIDAS-XCD ingestors and data monitors, use the McIDAS-XCD statdisp command. To check that grib file information is being filed to the real-time GRIB MySQL/MariaDB database (mcrtgrib), use the McIDAS-XCD gribadmin command.

Starting the Status Display Window

The Status Display window gives up to the minute data flow information for the McIDAS-XCD ingestors and data monitors. To start the Status Display window use the statdisp command as described below. For more information about statdisp, see Chapter 3, McIDAS-XCD Administrative Commands.

To display the Status Display window from the McIDAS-X Text and Command Window,

Type: OS "statdisp &

To display it from an Unix shell prompt,

Type: statdisp &

Note: The ampersand (&) runs the statdisp process in the background.

Checking the Real-time GRIB Database

If you are filing GRIB1 and GRIB2 messages into GRIB files of the same format and populating the MySQL/MariaDB database, the gribadmin script can list the most recent record filed. For more information about gribadmin, see Chapter 3, McIDAS-XCD Administrative Commands.

To list the most recent record filed in the mcrtgrib MySQL/MariaDB database from a Unix shell prompt,

Type: gribadmin latest

The modtime is the last field listed. If the GRIB file information is being filed correctly, this should be today's date and a very recent time.
