Hi Adam,
At the Australian Synchrotron, we use a few mechanism to check the status of our archiver appliances:

 

1/ We use a general purpose box status driver that occasionally pings the archive appliance  host (or any network device) to check it is at least on the network.

2/ We have a status IOC running on the archive appliance that check that 8 instance of the jsvc.exec process re running; and

3/ A cron job that attempts to retrieve data from the archiver appliance and writes to a status record depending on success/fail -  this is new this week.

I’m happy to share any/all of the above.

Regards

Andrew

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
