Hi all!

At DESY we use the Alarm Management System(AMS). It consists of different Java applications and allows us to compare an incoming event message against user-defined alarm filters. In case of a match one or more alarm messages will be send to the user as SMS, e-mail or voice mail. The configuration of the alarm filters is done within the Control System Studio(CSS).

Best regards,
Markus Moeller

Hallo Markus.

Kannst Du bitte in wenigen Worten unser AMS beschreiben und hier posten??

Hi Patrick,

As others have pointed out, it's pretty easy to write scripts that
sends email on any condition.   For a simple solution, see
     http://pyepics.github.com/pyepics/alarm.html

which can easily be made to send an email message on an alert.  This
is used at the APS to push some status messages to twitter accounts
(eg http://twitter.com/APS_13ID), which can then be followed by
anyone.

For a more complicated but also more flexible option, the web-based
data archiver we use at our beamline also sends emails when PVs meet
"alert" conditions (not exactly the same as being in alarm condition,
as different people may want messages for different non-alarm
conditions).  This has a web-interface for adding and managing alerts,
including what email addresses get the messages, the text of the
message, and so on.
