Experimental Physics and
Industrial Control System

I am currently working on creating an alarm server for our epics IOCs and I’ve been running into a few issues in the process.

 

To begin with, I’ve noticed that if I add a large number of alarms (~5000 or more), it causes the initial loading process to take a significant amount of time. Often on the order of 30 minutes. I was wondering if this was expected behavior or if there are ways to reduce the load time.

 

Secondly, I’ve had issues connecting Phoebus to the alarm server. At the moment, I have Phoebus running on one machine and the alarm server running on another one due to various limitations. I also have kafka and zookeeper running on the same machine as the alarm server and have verified that the CLI is functioning. I was hoping someone would know how to connect Phoebus to it, as I’ve been unable to find the port it should connect to.

 

Sincerely,
