Online Data Monitoring
What we want to know
- Are the detectors working?
- Do they have hits?
- What are the hit rates?
- Are the energies & times OK or garbage?
Example
- CDC_online plugin (Naomi): Trunk Link
Action Items
- 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 need to stay in contact with those groups, and make sure that they:
- Write the plugins
- Integrate them into RootSpy (visualization macros?)
- Are histogramming the data we want (see above)
Offline Data Monitoring
What we want to know
- Can we reproduce the online histograms offline (i.e. can we read data from tape)?
- How do the online histograms change as a function of time (e.g. hits/event vs run number)?
- Calibration status/quality histograms (run-by-run
- Reconstruction status/quality histograms
- Analysis histograms
- Can we see pi0, etc. peaks,
Action Items
- 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 the status of things as a function of time (webpage?)
