Moving to phoebus alarm server

["Gotz, Malte via Tech-talk" <tech-talk at aps.anl.gov>]

Hi all,

 

I am looking into migrating our alarm handler based alarm system to one based on phoebus. I was bit surprised that I couldn’t find any pre-existing solution to converting alh config files to the phoebs/css xml format. It should be simple enough, but I would rather work with/improve something existing than needlessly re-invent something.

Then I was wondering if some of those using the phoebus alarm system might be willing to share how you generate your alarm configs. I am sure you don’t enter everything through the GUI alarm tree. For the alarm handler we have different files, some hand written, some generated, which are then combined with the INLUCDE statement. How do you handle this in phoebus? Do you have scripts that build one xml file from fragments or am I just missing some really convenient option?

Best regards,

Malte Gotz
