Hi:

We're aware of the source forge problem. Since there have been previous inconveniences, we've moved the CSS source code over to github: https://github.com/ControlSystemStudio/cs-studio

> The reason I went to the cs-studio website is to get the latest version of the CSS book.
A snapshot of the CSS book can be found here:
https://ics-web.sns.ornl.gov/kasemir/CSS/Training/
https://ics-web.sns.ornl.gov/kasemir/CSS/Training/css_book.pdf

The CSS wiki page http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/cs-studio is still on SF, and seems to be OK most of the time.

> I'm looking for more information about how to use BEAST's new automated_actions alarm fields.
Well, there's nothing on that in the CSS book. At this time, the info is only in the online help of the alarm system.
There is a new alarm.beast.notifier product that performs the notifications, and you configure that as described in the online help (which you can preview outside of running CSS by looking at the files in plugins/org.csstudio.alarm.beast.ui/html/alarm_system.html, section is copied below.

Thanks,
Kay

Automated Notifications

If alarms persist for a certain time without being acknowledged or cleared, and automated notification can be generated.

If you configure a notification for an alarm trigger PV, the default message will contain the alarm info for that PV. If you configure a notification for a system or area, the default message will list the PVs in alarm below that section of the alarm tree.

The configuration of an automated notification has three parts:

 1.  Title: The title to be displayed as a context menu item. The max length of title is 30 characters.
 2.  Delay: Delay in seconds before the notification is performed. If the alarm is acknowledged or clears before this delay, no notification will be performed.
 3.  Details: Details of the automated action to be executed. The exact format of the notification detail depends on the type of notification, for example email, as listed below.

The automated notifications are performed by a designated "alarm-notifier" that must be running in parallel to the alarm server.

Email Notifications

Email notifications start with "mailto:";, using the RFC 6068 URL schema.

Examples:

mailto:[email protected]
mailto:[email protected],[email protected]
mailto:[email protected][email protected]&[email protected]
mailto:[email protected][email protected]&subject=*RF Source 1 in error&body={0} Alarm raised - Water below {1} m3


Within the configuration, the text {0} will be replaced with the alarm severity and {1} with the value that triggered the alarm.

External Command

The prefix "cmd:" selects an external command to be executed. Examples:

Examples:

cmd:caput SomePV 1
cmd:my_notifier *


Within the configuration, the text * will be replaced with a list of alarm PVs and alarm severities.

The command is executed with the working directory defined by the preference

org.csstudio.alarm.beast/command_directory

of the notifier.

The reason I went to the cs-studio website is to get the latest version of the CSS book. I'm looking for more information about how to use BEAST's new automated_actions alarm fields.

Kind regards,
