RE: How to achive a huge number of PVs in Archive Appliance

[Sky Brewer via Tech-talk <tech-talk at aps.anl.gov>]

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 MONITOR@0.01 will be sent to the default archiver with the default policy or using Monitor at 10Hz.

 

Hope that helps.
