Introduction

  • LIGO-Virgo Alert System (LVAlert) igwn-alert

    • The International Gravitational Wave Network Alert System (igwn-alert) is a notification service built on the Apache Kafka protocol and the pubsub extension.
    • It is a higher-level modification of SCIMMA's hop-client to streamline receiving and responding to alerts from GraceDB.
    • This package replaces the legacy LIGO LVAlert XMPP-based alert system.
    • The API are compatible with Python 3
  • Retirement of existing LVAlert service targeted for ~April 2022.
    • In O4, we will use igwn-alert.

  -g GROUP, --group GROUP
                        GraceDB group name (e.g., gracedb, gracedb-playground)
  -l {critical,error,warning,info,debug}, --log {critical,error,warning,info,debug}
                        Log level
  -n NETRC, --netrc NETRC
                        netrc file (default: read from NETRC environment variable or ~/.netrc)

  -u USERNAME, --username USERNAME
                        User name (default: look up in auth.toml or .netrc)

Setting in advance

  • The authentification between the client and the server is managed by SciMMA.

  • The first step is to make a SCiMMa account by visiting https://my.hop.scimma.org/.

    • At this time, access to igwn-alert is limited to LIGO, Virgo, or KAGRA members.
