Hi Loïc,
You can use the rest api to submit PVs to be archived. We maintain a python library that can read files listing PVs and submit them to be archived at
https://gitlab.esss.lu.se/ics-software/py-epicsarchiver
Excitingly, you can also use ChannelFinder (from v4.7.2) to submit PVs to be archived. Setting a configuration of:
################ Archiver Appliance Configuration Processor #################
aa.urls={'default':
'http://localhost:17665'}
aa.default_alias=default
aa.enabled=true
aa.pva=false
aa.archive_property_name=archive
aa.archiver_property_name=archiver
Any PV with an info tag of “archive” to “default”, or even
[email protected] will be sent to the default archiver with the default policy or using Monitor at 10Hz.
Hope that helps.
Sky
