Thanks Diego, your solution is similar to Eric's. Being still fairly new to EPICS, I'm getting a lot out of talking myself  through these examples.

I like the idea of having no other dependencies than base. This IOC runs on a small pizza box computer and I'd like to avoid building anything other than base if possible.

The PVs are archived by the Archiver Appliance. I do have access to whatever report I want to generate via the rest API. This works great for me, but fails when I want to share this information with the EPS manager and other stake holders.

Cheers,

Hi all,
I'd like to create a database record that counts based on a forward link. This record would need to reset back to zero 
at 12AM every day. 

Use case, is where a beam line user hits a reset button repeatably (tied to a bo record) as a work around for something that is broken.
I'd like to track these resets.

Is there a way to do this with base?
I'm considering writing a C subroutine for this is it doesn't already exist.

Cheers!

If the use-case is to track resets of a bo record, why not use a script that sets up a monitor on the bo record and writes the value and timestamp of each event to a file?  Or you could add the bo record to whatever archiver you're using and extract the events from that.   Either way, such an event log would let you can slice the event data any way you want (not just "per day") and you haven't erased the information every day at midnight.
