The major file systems on the Linux-OS EDEX Data Server are as follows:

Linux File Systems

  • root ( / ), /tmp, /usr, /var. Linux mandates that these file systems exist.
  • /boot. This file system contains the Linux kernel and boot-up instructions.
  • /home. This file system contains all the user working areas.
  • /dev/shm. This file system is the Linux shared memory.
  • /etc/init.d. Location of startup services (edex_postgres, httpd-pypies, qpidd, edex_camel).

AWIPS File Systems

  • /awips2. This file system is used to store baselined AWIPS software.
  • /awips2/data. Database files.
  • /awips2/edex/data/hdf5. Contains the HDF5 component of the data store and shared static data and hydro apps.
  • /awips2/GFESuite. Contains scripts and data relating to inter site coordination (ISC) and service backup.
  • /awips2/edex/data/utility. Contains localization store and EDEX configuration files.
  • /awips2/httpd_pypies/etc/https/conf. Location of PyPIES Apache server configuration file httpd.conf.
  • /awips2/qpid/etc. Location of Qpid configuration file qpidd.conf.
  • /awips2/qpid/sbin. Location of qpidd executable and queueCreator.sh, which is called by /etc/init.d/qpidd.
  • /awips2/ldm. LDM account home directory.
  • /awips2/ldm/etc. Location of ldmd.conf and pqact.conf.
  • /awips2/ldm/logs. Location of LDM logs.

Raw Data Store File System

Folders are usually laid out exactly like the sbn folders on the EDEX server with each plug-in having a folder on the data store. But some of them do not follow the same convention, for e.g., data sent to the 'metar' endpoint will be found in the /data_store/text folder.

Additionally, if ingest of a new format is being worked on, you will find these new data types not yet found on the development or integration systems, located in /data_store/experimental.
