Intro
One of the most important components of the Hall D online monitoring will be the alarm system. Such a system should be configurable to annunciate in the control room and send e-mail messages in case EPICS variables severity changes. It is also very desirable to have an alarm system which can be integrated with the Controls System Studio (CSS).
BEAST
EPICS community developed an alarm system called Best Ever Alarm System Toolkit (BEAST) providing integration with CSS. This system consists of multiple components, and each component is built and configured from Eclipse RCP environment. Some of the component should run standalone, some of them are supposed to be built-in into the CSS executable, and some can used in both ways (Annunciator).
