At DANCE we have a similar issue. We are still doing "software
handshaking" between multiple frontends (15 which read data, and 16th
with direct accessto the trigger logic), and we apply a time stamp

|
At CERN I see a large number of hostile network scans that seem to be injecting HTTP requests into the
MIDAS RPC ports. So far, all these requests seem to be successfully rejected without crashing anything, but
they do clog up midas.log.

Doing this through the ODB seems ok to me. If the ODB cannot be accessed, you can fall back to no protection.
At PSI we fortunately do not have these network scans because PSI uses a institute-wide firewall. So you can connect from outside PSI to inside PSI only |

Dear all,
For my personal convenience, I started to add an homebrew formula

Hi Mathieu,
thanks for your contribution. Have you looked at the install.sh script I developed last week:

Hi,
I have a bank of floats with slow control values that I store to the history and
ODB. When reading the history, both in the webbrowser and with mhist, the floats

10 Jun 2025, Nik Berger, Bug Report, History variables with leading spaces
|
By accident we had history variables with leading spaces. The history schema check then decides that this is a new variable (the leading space is not read
from the history file) and starts a new file. We found this because the run start became slow due to the many, many history files created. It would be
nice to just get an error if one has a malformed variable name like this.

I added now code to the logger so it properly complains if there would be a leading space in a variable name.

I would like to have some clarification about the meaning and use of the
tags in the ODB under /History/Tags.

That's right. Some of this stuff is historical gibberish that is no longer needed
