Hello Everyone,

I have been able to setup a EPICS softIoc, setup Alarm Topics with

kafka/zookeeper, configure the alarms with alarm-server.sh and then get

phoebus to run with the alarm tree, alarm table and  alarm area panel on

a system with no network interface using localhost.

When I set up EPICS softIoc, zookeeper/kafka and alarm server that does

has network interface, I find that the alarm topics disconnect soon

after the alarm-server is started.

I found that I had to set EPICS_CA_AUTO_ADDR_LIST="NO"  for EPICS to

access the softIoc PV's.  However, I can't find a way to get the

alarm-topics to connect to the PV's.

Can someone point me in a direction on how to setup the alarm  topic

configuration to connect to the PV's or to the diagnotic programs or

statements to look at so I can see what I have not setup?

Thanks for the help!

Thanks,
Merrill Jenkins
