Hi Ralph,

We get most of this from our infrastructure: we have an IOC management toolchain ("controls ecosystem") that keeps track of all of our IOCs, we use ChannelFinder for record counts but also to carry other metadata of interest (e.g. record type and access group), and we get the EPICS modules used by an IOC from require. We store all metric data in prometheus. We cannot (yet) do bullets 2 and 3, but I think it should be technically doable. We occasionally "grep" through IOC and/or EPICS module repositories to generate reports. I can show you some of this if you are interested.

In your case, I think manual reports from text search in IOC repositories might be the way to go. You could also build some sort of crawlers - collection scripts on/targeting the hosts whose data is aggregated in some centralised db.

HTH
