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.
Install
- The latest version is 0.1.2 (2021/12/07)
- Available in pip and conda shortly.
conda install igwn-alert
pip install igwn-alert
- help

Setting in advance on web
- 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.
After log-in https://my.hop.scimma.org/, by clicking Create new credentials, the password for your account will be shown just once.
Adding Authentication in local
Run the hop command and enter the username and the password.
- Empty Hostname is fine.
hop auth add
Once you entered, the authentification credential is stored in ~/.config/hop/auth.toml .
Usage in local
- Initially, no topic (you can consider channel) is registered to your account.
From https://my.hop.scimma.org/, please add channel (they call Add permission).
- This doesn't show anything.

- If you set up properly, check the topics which you are subscribing.
