/History ODB tree
Links
- History System
- mhttpd history page
- /Logger ODB tree
- /Logger/History subtree
Purpose
The ODB /History tree contains information related to the History System.
Creating the /History tree
The /History ODB tree is created by mlogger.
Example of /History tree
[local:pol:S]/>ls /history -lt Key name Type #Val Size Last Opn Mode Value --------------------------------------------------------------------------- DisableTags BOOL 1 4 14h 0 RWD n Display DIR MaxDisplayEvents INT 1 4 14h 0 RWD 20 MaxDisplayTags INT 1 4 14h 0 RWD 200 Events DIR Tags DIR Links DIR
Keys in the /History ODB tree
DisableTags
- Type: BOOL
- Default: "n"
Set this key in the /History ODB tree to "y" if reading the history tags directly from the history files. Set to "n" to read the history tags from the ODB. If this key is set to "y" the /History/Tags subdirectory (if present) will be deleted.
This key appears starting with version 4435 of mlogger. See [[#Note1].
CreateOldTags
- Type: BOOL
- Default: "n"
If this key in the /History ODB tree and set to "y", it will force creation of /History/Tags subtree(s) using the old format.
See [[#Note1].
This key is optional and may not be present in recent versions.
MaxDisplayEvents
- Type: INT
- Default: 20
This key in the /History ODB tree is used by mhttpd to set the maximum number of events displayed in the history page maybe??
MaxDisplayTags
- Type: INT
- Default: 20
This key in the /History ODB tree is used by mhttpd to set the maximum number of tags ??
PerVariableHistory (obsolete)
- Type: INT
- Default: "n"
This key in the /History ODB tree is OBSOLETE and should be deleted from the ODB if using a recent version of MIDAS. A message will be printed to this effect.
It has been replaced by PerVariableHistory.
Links subtree
- Type: DIR
This subtree in the /History ODB tree is created by mlogger. If an equipment named "Trigger" is present, mlogger creates
System subtree
- Type: DIR
This subtree in the Links subtree is created by mlogger if an equipment named "Trigger" is present.
Trigger per sec.
- Type: DIR
This link in the System subtree is created by mlogger if an equipment named "Trigger" is present. Trigger per sec. is linked to the key /Equipment/Trigger/Statistics/Events per sec..
Trigger kB per sec.
- Type: DIR
This link in the System subtree is created by mlogger if an equipment named "Trigger" is present. Trigger kB per sec. is linked to the key /Equipment/Trigger/Statistics/kBytes per sec..
Tags subtree
- Type: DIR
This subtree in the /History ODB tree is created by mlogger if the Equipment key /Equipment ODB tree#Log history is set for one or more Equipments.
Tags subtree
- Type: DIR
This subtree in the /History ODB tree is created by mlogger if the Equipment key /Equipment ODB tree#Log history is set for one or more Equipments.
It contains history tags created by mlogger for each equipment set to /Equipment ODB tree#Log history. If the global
PerVariableHistory key is set or the
PerVariableHistory key in the /Equipment/Settings subtree of that equipment, then tags for that Equipment
will be created automatically by mlogger. The names of the tags will be taken from /Equipment/Settings/Names if present, otherwise
The contents of the event will then be completely copied into the history files, using the definition of the event as tag names for every element of the event.
Display subtree
- Type: DIR
This subtree in the /History ODB tree contains parameters used to control the History panels display. It contains a subtree for each defined History panel.
<panel-name> subtree
- Type: DIR
This subtree in the Display subtree is named for the panel on the mhttpd History page, and contains information to define the contents of this panel. In the example, only one panel is defined, named Default. The Default panel is created when If there is more than one panel defined, there will be other panel subtrees present with different panel names.
Trigger rate subtree
- Type: DIR
