Introduction
LValert is The LIGO-Virgo Alert System (LVAlert)
- a prototype notification service built on the xmpp (jabber) protocol and the pubsub extension.
- It provides a basic notification tool which allows multiple producers and consumers of notifications.
Install
We can't install lvalert by igwn on conda environment. (see lvalert_admin broken on both conda igwn-py2 and igwn-py37 environments)
because lvalert depends on legacy package (pyxmpp)
- To install lvalert on python2,
sudo apt install python-ligo-lvalert
Setting in advance
visit https://lvalert-test.cgca.uwm.edu and activate your account.
prepare $HOME/.netrc
- albert.einstein should be your KAGRA account.
PASSWORD should be the password you set at Account Activation site.
$ echo 'machine lvalert.cgca.uwm.edu login albert.einstein password PASSWORD' >> ~/.netrc $ echo 'machine lvalert-playground.cgca.uwm.edu login albert.einstein password PASSWORD' >> ~/.netrc $ echo 'machine lvalert-test.cgca.uwm.edu login albert.einstein password PASSWORD' >> ~/.netrc $ chmod 0600 ~/.netrc
Usage of ```lvalert_admin```
- get a list of existing nodes
$ lvalert_admin -s lvalert-playground.cgca.uwm.edu --get-nodes
- create a test node
$ lvalert_admin -s lvalert-playground.cgca.uwm.edu --create --node test_k1det Creating node test_k1det Successfully completed operation
- subscribe a node
$ lvalert_admin -s lvalert-playground.cgca.uwm.edu --subscribe --node test_k1det Successfully subscribed to node test_k1det
- remove a note
$ lvalert_admin -s lvalert-playground.cgca.uwm.edu --delete --node test_k1det
- check current subscriptions
$ lvalert_admin -s lvalert-playground.cgca.uwm.edu --subscriptions
- unsubscribe
- This works only a node which you created.
$ lvalert_admin --username hirotaka.yuzurihara -s lvalert-playground.cgca.uwm.edu --node "tagoshi-testnode"
- This works only a node which you created.
Usage of {{{lvalert_listen}}} and {{{lvalert_send}}}
- launch the lvalert_listern
- this should run in the background
% lvalert_listen -s lvalert-playground.cgca.uwm.edu -c my_listen.ini -r listener1 &
- prepare the dummy alert
- the real alert will be sent as JSON format. (But, I don't know the actual keys.)
$ cat test1.txt {"uid": "G12345", "alert_type": "new", "far": 1e-8, "gps_time": 1301640384} $ cat test2.txt {"uid": "G12345", "alert_type": "new", "far": 1e-8} - prepare configuration file
- when we got the alert, the following shell script will run. (Note that this shell script can't use option.)
you can see the details of shell script at /users/yuzu/work/lvalert in the Kamioka workstation.
$ cat my_listen.ini [test_k1det] executable = ./run_test_k1det.sh
- send the test alert
- Although test1.txt has gps_time, test2.txt has no gps_time.
$ lvalert_send --username hirotaka.yuzurihara -s lvalert-playground.cgca.uwm.edu -n test_k1det --file test1.txt $ lvalert_send --username hirotaka.yuzurihara -s lvalert-playground.cgca.uwm.edu -n test_k1det --file test2.txt
