Hi Sean,

To load the iocStats records in your IOC you just need to build your application with the iocStats dbd and library files like this:

    $(DBD_NAME)_DBD += devIocStats.dbd
    PROD_LIBS        += devIocStats

And add a command like this to your IOC startup script:

dbLoadRecords("$(DEVIOCSTATS)/db/iocAdminSoft.db", "IOC=$(PREFIX)")

Mark

Subject: Basic iocStats database
 
Hi all,

Following on from my first question a couple weeks ago about the
feasibility of setting up EPICS for a small lab, I've provisioned a
Debian 11 VM and gotten EPICS Base set up. While I wait for the arrival
of the Modbus-based sensors I plan to use EPICS to read, I thought I'd
set up iocStats
(https://www.slac.stanford.edu/grp/ssrl/spear/epics/site/devIocStats/)
so I have some real world values to play with - CPU usage, etc.

Following various guides I've managed to compile the example application
with iocStats module support. However, I don't actually have any of the
records provided by iocStats configured, and that's where I've gotten
stuck. What I'd really like to see are examples of databases others have
made that make use of the various records provided by iocStats (if such
an example is provided with iocStats itself, I missed it). Ultimately I
want to be able to caget my VM's CPU load, so I can play with archiving
and plotting it later. Google has failed me so I thought I'd ask here.
So, is anyone willing to share their iocStats configurations with me?

Cheers,
Sean
