Re: Epics Archiver Online Status Question

That sounds like exactly what I need Tynan. Any chance I could take a peak of your implementation for the PV? 

Thanks

Hi Adam,

I don't know of a status PV associated with the archiver myself. We implemented a PV with a subroutine like you suggested. It queries an archiver appliance HTTP endpoint and determines if the archiver is up and running based on that.

For instance, you could check that mgmt/bpl/startupState, engine/bpl/startupState, etc. return "STARTUP_COMPLETE". Or query an endpoint like mgmt/bpl/getApplianceInfo and ensure it returns a valid response.

Hi All,

 

Are there any PVs associated when you start up the Epic Archiver that you can read for status of the Archiver (Online, Running, Etc)?  If not does anyone have a simple solution to display in CSS GUI (LED or Text Box) that the archiver is in fact running, one thought was an ASUB record with some C written to check if the web interface of the archiver was reachable.

 

Thanks,

Adam
