Using aliasesΒΆ

For every metadata type it is possible to define some aliases for the most commonly used search expressions.

Aliases are defined in /etc/arkimet/match-alias.conf, which has one section per metadata type. For example:

[origin]
arpa = GRIB1,200

[product]
# Pressure
pr      = GRIB1,200,2,1
# MSL pressure
mslp    = GRIB1,200,2,2  or GRIB1,98,128,151
# Geopotential
z       = GRIB1,200,2,6  or GRIB1,98,128,129
# Temperature
t       = GRIB1,200,2,11 or GRIB1,98,128,130 or GRIB1,98,128,167 or GRIB1,200,200,11

[level]
# Surface
g00    = GRIB1,1

# Height from surface
g02    = GRIB1,105,2
g10    = GRIB1,105,10
