What needs to be done to replace the DAQ Doctor

Created by: hsakulin

1) Additional checks

  • High individual FED Deadtime
  • High Partition Deadtime
  • High global deadtime (with analysis of breakdown (individual issue #46)) (*)
  • (individual issue #17 (closed)) Check that physics stream rates are within limits (configurable, different sets for different machine modes, may vary over time, exceptions for special runs, maybe tie to HLT Key or L1/HLT Key). ( finer check in the future: limits may depend on HLT menu, inst. luminosity, prescale-column )
  • (individual issue #28) Temperature checks
  • (individual issue #29) (check all other checks that used to be done by the DAQ doctor)

(*)

  • Use DeadTimeBeamActive for runs with beam in the machine (INJECTION PROBE to STABLE BEAMS)
  • Use DeadTime for cosmic runs (BEAM DUMP to SETUP)

2) New data sources

2a) New data source: Filter Farm Monitoring

  • (individual issue #47) meet with Srecko to find out if it is always there

  • (individual issue #17 (closed)) HLT output rates per stream, stream sizes

  • (individual issue #44 (closed)) CPU usage per machine

  • Fill level of RAM disks (individual issue #32), output disks (individual issue #45)

2b) New data source: errors from XMAS (spotlight)

2c) Where do we get the temperature monitoring from? (individual issue #28)

II=> 3) Audio alerts

  • LHC machine/beam mode change
  • DAQ state change
  • Subsystem going to RunningDegraded / RunningSoftErrordetected / Error
  • (individual issue #43) L1 or HLT rate out of limits
  • High dead time
  • No rate when expected etc.

4) Add support for audio
