Monitoring webpage help

The purpose of the various monitoring web-pages is to allow users to quickly and easily access the graphs produced from the launches. These graphs can be viewed by plot (the same plot from all of the different runs in a user selected range), by run (all of the plots from a user selected run), by version (all of a given plot from each version of a given run), and by time (extracted quantities graphed over time). Below are the monitoring web-pages with a quick guide on how to use them:

After the page loads the user is prompter for the Run Period and Reconstruction Version. When a Run Period is selected from the drop-down the Version drop-down will auto-update to display only the valid versions for the chosen run period. The default run numbers for the given run period will also auto-complete. Next, the user picks the plot to be displayed. This drop-down menu contains a list of all possible plots (Note: just because a plot is in this list does not mean such a plot was produced for the given Run Period, Reconstruction Version, and/or range of run numbers). The range of run numbers to look at can be specified by typing in the starting and ending run number inclusively. It is important to note that, at present, these entries are not error protected. Thus supplying any non-numeric character or giving the range from high to low will result in the page crashing. Should this occur the session will need to be restarted and options reselected. The final two text fields are the MYSQL query, where users can enter additional querying statements demanded of the returned runs, and the additional RCDB query requirements, which have been defaulted to "@is_production and @status_approved" but can be modified at the users discretion.

After all options have been entered hit the "Display" button. The page will appear to refresh and the relevant plots will be displayed in a table on the bottom half of the page. The user can click on the "Run xxxxx" hyperlink and will be taken to the runBrowser page for the given run. Currently this link does not load the plots from the run and the user should consult the section on the run Browser for more information.

There are three possible states for the plots to be in:

1) A broken image link appears. This means the selected plot was not produced for the run.

2) A white image. This plot was supposed to be produced but something went wrong in the saving of the image file

3) The plot. The plot was found for the given options.
