Re: Adding a PV to archiver appl, missing something...

[astrid morreale via Tech-talk <tech-talk at aps.anl.gov>]

Thanks Yong, I took a look at the https://epics.anl.gov/tech-talk/2017/msg00705.php thread and checked the various hints, unfortunately I do think what is suggested in those threads is the problem (?).

My PV shows "Appliance assigned" in the archiver browser followed by a bunch of N/A despite the changing value of my PV. It's not seen/sampled/monitored at all  by the archiver.

the permissions 

in the s/l/m write directories seem ok

ie

ls -lrt -h  /home/arch/sts/
total 4.0K
drwxr-xr-x 2 tomcat tomcat 4.0K Jul 20 16:14 ArchiverStore
 

looking at the logs under

ls -lrt -h   /opt/archappl/retrieval/logs/

I do not see suspicious entries, I still think something is wrong in my setup

I checked the ports, I think these are ok

sudo firewall-cmd --direct --get-rules ipv4 filter INPUT
0 -s 10.0.0.0/8 -p udp --sport 5064 -j ACCEPT
0 -s 10.0.0.0/8 -p udp --dport 5065 -j ACCEPT
0 -s 10.0.0.0/8 -p udp --sport 5075 -j ACCEPT

finally, I attach my  arch.log and my retrieval_catalina.err files

(tails pasted)

any input will be appreciated.

Thanks!

Hi Astrid,

 

It seems you have a similar issue as asked on tech-talk, EPICS Archiver Appliance does not transfer PVs to "Being archived"

https://epics.anl.gov/tech-talk/2017/msg00705.php

 

Good luck!

Yong

Subject: Adding a PV to archiver appl, missing something...

 

Hello everyone,

 

I have yet another naive question as I am just starting (from zero) using EPICS and Archiver appl.

 

I have EPICS running and I am "ca monitoring" some PV's which are being populated---> all ok with ca monitoring I see that the PV's are changing value as I expected.

astrid@localhost epics-base]$camonitor myPV

myPV                           2020-07-23 16:44:41.905899 0

 

 

I open my archiver browser and I try to add my PV and I do not see anything happen (the PV is there but seems like a ghost).

I suspect I am missing some fundamental setting and archiver is just getting ready to connect to the PV.

 

"myPV

Appliance assigned

N/A

N/A

N/A

N/A

N/A

N/A

N/A"

 

some added info:

 

my archiverappl link is http://10.0.0.78:17665/mgmt/ui/index.html

my env variable in bash is set to

EPICS_CA_ADDR_LIST=localhost

export EPICS_CA_ADDR_LIST

 

my epics base directory looks like this:

[astrid@localhost epics-base]$ ls

R3.15.5/ bin/ etc....

where my softIoc is under

epics-base/bin/linux-x86_64/softIoc

and R3.15.5 is the automatic epics installation done by archiver (following the slacmshankar/ archiver instructions online)

 

(I use Linux)

 

thanks a lot in advance.

Astrid
