Gempa application server for the web

Description¶

GAPS provides a collection of Web-based client tools running in a Web browser anywhere on PCs, tablets or smartphones to interface with a SeisComP3 installation that operates the GAPS server. Through GAPS, operators gain insight into a remote SeisComP3 data acquisition and processing system and can interact with it. In full-screen mode, the modules are excellent for demonstrating the performance of the SeisComP3 server system in a show room.

Overview¶

When connecting to a GAPS server, the start page is shown. From there the start page the individual Web modules can be started. The start page is configurable. Customized logo images can be shown by setting the parameter apps.logoPath.

GAPS start page (full-screen mode, example from http://quakelink.gempa.de/).

Access of password-secured users with specific privileges can be granted. In this way authorized users can process data and commit the results to the SeisComP3 server system as if they were directly connected to a SeisComP3 system.

GAPS consists of 2 packages that should be installed for full functionality:

GAPS server (server application)
GAPS webapps (client applications)

GAPS uses maps stored as tiles. High resolution maps can be imported from OpenStreetMap, created by the user or purchased from gempa GmbH. Contact info@gempa.de by email for the details.

System requirements¶

In order to have GAPS functioning, the following modules must be configured and started:

GAPS server¶

Installing the GAPS server creates the data directory @DATADIR@/gaps/ which includes the template files for creating the websites. This data directory will be overwritten with every new installation. For manually customizing the websites copy the data directory to another location referred to by mediaDirectory and make the desired changes in the new directory.

New installations might provide new features. Therefore, overwriting the files and directories in mediaDirectory with the newly installed data directory may be required. Make sure to safe the manual changes before and apply them thereafter again.

Webapps: client modules¶

The GAPS client modules include:

EQView (scesv equivalent): earthquake locations and seismograms for configurable regions and magnitudes.
StationView (scmv equivalent): quality of seismograms and peak ground motion at configured stations along with recent seismicity.
TraceView (scrttv equivalent): viewing raw or filtered seismograms with phase picks for stations selectable on a maps.
OriginLocatorView (scolv equivalent): interactive picking and relocating of earthquakes, commits to the SeisComP3 server system.

The modules can be configured individually (see section setup).

Common map properties¶

Common to the client modules are some map functions:

Zoom in / out: +/- or use mouse wheel
Pan left / right or up / down: arrow left / right or arrow up / down
Show the coordinates of the current cursor position: shift + cursor (only in EQView, StationView, OriginLocatorView)

EQView¶

EQView provides remote access to maps and the list of detected and located events as well as to a preview of the seismograms. The colors of the event circles and the size represent depth and magnitude, respectively.

Maps with user-specific regions and event profiles can be defined as widgets. These maps can be selected and viewed by clicking on the widget shown along with the currently selected map. The regions of these maps and of the events therein can be customized based on coordinates, magnitude and event time.

The widget "Latest Event" show the details for the latest event within the currently active map widget. When clicking on that widget more event details and waveforms are shown. Showing the picks of P and S phases can be activated by configuration. In addition, the map is zoom around the event. The zoom level depends on the event magnitude.

EQView - event map (full-screen mode). Map panels (right) show configured areas which can be selected and enlarged. Circles show event locations. The colors indicate source depth, size indicates magnitudes. Corresponding values are given in the legend (lower left). The overview map (upper left) shows the position of the central map.

EQView - event list (full-screen mode). Seismograms (left panel) are shown for a selected event.

StationView¶

StationView provides information on the state of sensor stations based on a mapview and text boxes. The information include quality control parameters, e.g. delay, latency, gaps, spikes and offset as well as current ground motion and PGD, PGV and PGA on 0.3 Hz high-pass filtered seismograms for the past 10 seconds and 5 minutes (in brackets). Clicking on a particular station shows the parameters in a inset figure.

The maps allow zooming in and out. They may be centered around the most recent event. For dense networks, stations are clustered and only the number is given at the center of the region. The region shown initially on the map can be customized.

StationView (full-screen mode) showing the location of stations (triangles) with measured ground motion (color), active triggers (bold red circle around station), recent earthquakes (circles) within the configured area and information for one selected station (left panel).

TraceView¶

The TracveView allows viewing of real-time data collected on the SeisComP3 GAPS server along with picks made on these data. The stations for which the seismograms are shown can be selected from the map of stations based on the region. The region shown initially on the map can be customized.

For showing the traces: 1. mark "Select stations" in the settings panel to the right, 2. select a region by drawing a rectangle on the map using the left mouse bottom, 3. click on "Show traces" in the settings panel to the right.

TraceView (full-screen mode) showing the stations (triangles) for which traces can be viewed as well as active detections (bold red triangles). The stations selected for showing traces are marked in yellow.

For adjusting seismogram filtering and zooming within in the trace window, select the parameters in the "Settings" panel. The panel can be accessed by moving the mouse arrow to the right edge of the TraceView window. The filter settings can be customized (see setup). Use the left mouse button to shift the seismograms in time.

Return to the map window by clicking on "Show map" in the "Settings" panel.

TraceView (full-screen mode) showing the traces for selected stations filtered in the configured frequency band.

OriginLocatorView¶

Use the OriginLocatorView for viewing and relocating of events. Users with granted permissions (see setup) working from allowed computers (see setup) can view the data and send back the results from data processing.

For example, everyone from any computer worldwide may have permission to view the data but only authorized staff may be permitted to commit the processing results such as picks and locations to the server SeisComP3 system.

Detailed help on the OriginLocatorView can be accessed through "Help" button on the upper right on all OriginLocatorView windows.

Individual events can be accessed by clicking on that particular event in the event list or in the event map. Access the event list and map by clicking on the list and map symbol on the upper right of the "Events" tab.

OriginLocatorView showing the list of events. The help module can be accessed through "Help" bottom on the upper right.

OriginLocatorView showing the map of events. The help module can be accessed through "Help" bottom on the upper right.

The "Locator" tab is accessed by clicking on an event in the event list or map. In the "Locator" tab the event can be relocated choosing the configured locator and locator profile. Phase picks can be selected or unselected. Clicking on "Picker" opens the picker window where existing picks of P and S phases can be reviewed and new picks can be made.

OriginLocatorView: Location tab.

The picks can be made in the picker window. The pick window can be accessed by clinking on the "Picker" button in the "Location" tab. In the picker window arrivals of P and S phases can be picked. Results are committed the the server by clicking on "OK". For zooming and shifting the data in time, use the mouse wheel and the left mouse button on the time axis of the traces.

OriginLocatorView: picker window.

The time window parameters controlling the amount of requested data can be changed in the Setup tab. The shorter the time window the faster the data will be loaded and processed. The new parameters will be valid during the browser session. To keep the time window parameters adjust the GAPS module configuration.

OriginLocatorView: setup window.

Setup¶

The user-friendly graphical tool scconfig can be used to configure GAPS. A subset of control parameters is described in this section but a complete list can be found in Configuration. More detailed help for all parameters can be found the configuration of the GAPS module in scconfig (mouse-over the respective parameter).

In order to bind a station to GAPS, e.g. showing its symbol in the station view, create a GAPS binding for that station with parameter enable set to true. Stations that have not been bound to GAPS will be removed from the inventory and therefore not shown.

Access control parameters¶

The access control parameters define the privileges of users to connect to the GAPS server via the Webapps. Examples are given below.

scconfig: window for setting the access control parameters.

bind¶

Control of remote client access. Provide IP and port to bind the http server to. Use 0.0.0.0 to bind to all interfaces. Either the port or the IP address may be omitted, e.g. "0.0.0.0" or ":1234". Leave empty to run without providing a http server.

Access only from the localhost of the server using port 8080 (default):

bind = 127.0.0.1:8080

Access only from all remote IP addresses using port 8080:

bind = 0.0.0.0:8080

sbind¶

Control of remote client access using https. See bind for the details. Port ":-1" rejects the usage of https.

users¶

Re-locating events and committing the results in the OringLocatorView is protected by username and password. Different roles can be assigned to the users.

The users allowed for remote client access and the encrypted password are provided in the users file:

users = @CONFIGDIR@/gaps/users

The users file contains the user details (name:encrpyted-password). Add one line per user e.g. for user sysop:

sysop:encrpyted-password

Create the encrypted password (encrypt-password). For encrypting the password it is recommended to apply a strong algorithm such as sha-256 or sha-512. The password encryption tool may depend on the Linux flavour.

When mkpasswd is available the command

user=sysop pw=`mkpasswd -m sha-512` && echo $user:$pw;

generates a line for e.g. user "sysop".

Alternatively use, e.g. on CentOS:

python -c 'import crypt,getpass; print(getpass.getpass("Name: ")+":"+crypt.crypt(getpass.getpass(),crypt.mksalt(crypt.METHOD_SHA512)))'

userProperties¶

Different user properties can be assigned to the users. Currently, two properties, "staff" and "guest", are interpreted by GAPS:

staff: Provides full access in the OriginLocatorView to relocating events and committing the results to the SeisComP3 system.
guest: Provides limited access in the OriginLocatorView. Only relocating events is allowed but committing the results is prohibited.

The properties are provided in a file, e.g.:

userProperties = @CONFIGDIR@/gaps/access

Each line contains the user name and a list of properties in format "username:prop1,prop2,prop3". Those properties are used to grant access to specific functionalities in GAPS such as sending processing results back.

Example of the file @CONFIGDIR@/gaps/access for users sysop, user1 and user2 (one line per user):

sysop:staff
user1:staff
user2:guest
