Are the detectors working?
- Do all of the channels have hits?
- What are the hit counts/rates per channel?
- Are the energies & times OK, garbage, or out of range? (by channel)
- Is the reconstruction working?: Run full reconstruction over a small % of data, view tracking/shower-reconstruction results online (hdview2, monitoring_hists plugins).

David is updating RootSpy and the documentation.
- When he's finished, he'll contact the different detector groups and have them write their monitoring plugins.
We (Paul?, David?, Sean?) will stay in contact with the detector groups, and make sure that they:
- Write the plugins
- Are histogramming the data we want (see above).
- Integrate them into RootSpy, and determine which are the primary plots, the ones that are the most important for shift-takers.

Paul will make sure that the monitoring_hists plugin plots (for reconstruction quality) are integrated and viewable in RootSpy.

Can we reproduce the online histograms offline:
- Can we ready data from tape?
- Are all the channels present?
- Are all the recorded values within the expected ranges?
How do the online histograms change as a function of time (e.g. hits/event vs run number)?
Calibration status/quality histograms (individual runs & a function of time)
Reconstruction status/quality histograms
- Num tracks, showers, hits, etc.
- Reconstructed track kinematics
- Track / detector-hit matching
- PID Quality
Analysis histograms
- Can we see pi0 peaks
- Can we see simple final states
  - proton pi+ pi-
  - proton pi+ pi- pi0
  - proton pi+ pi- eta

Make sure that the detector groups make plugins for doing the calibrations and viewing the quality/results.
Make cron-job scripts that automatically read data from disk and make histograms of the above.
Make cron-job scripts for visualizing the data:
- Make it easy to view today's & yesterday's online data (webpage?)
- Make it easy to view data from any given run (webpage?)
- Make it easy to view the status of things as a function of time (webpage?)
