Global parameters

The SeisComP configuration uses a unified schema to configure modules. Modules which use the SeisComP libraries can read this configuration directly and share global configuration options like messaging connections, database configurations, logging and much more. There are still some modules that do not use the libraries and are called standalone modules such as seedlink and slarchive. They need wrappers to generate their native configuration when seiscomp update-config is run.

Global parameters can be used by many modules. Thus multiple configuration can be avoided. The parameters are read from file in the following order:

  1. @SYSTEMCONFIGDIR@/global.cfg

  2. @CONFIGDIR@/global.cfg

Parameters from @CONFIGDIR@ override parameters from @SYSTEMCONFIGDIR@.

Most trunk modules read the configuration from the global configuration which can be overridden by the module configuration. Read the concept section on modules and the concept section on the configuraion for more details.

Though it is easy to create the configuration by directly editing the configuration files, it is even more convenient to use a configurator. SeisComP ships with a graphical configurator and management tool (scconfig) which makes it easy to maintain module configurations and station bindings even for large networks. It has built-in functionality to check the state of all registered modules and to start and stop them.

The configuration is divided into three parts: stations, modules and bindings.

Station meta data

Station meta-data is a fundamental requirement for a seismic processing system and for SeisComP. Read the inventory section in concepts for more details.

Modules

The concepts of modules and their configuration is described in the concepts section.

Bindings

Bindings provide specific configurations per module and station and even stream. Read the bindings section in concepts for more details on bindings.

Extensions

Extensions add new configuration options to modules. It does not matter how those extensions are used. Commonly a module loads a plugin, which requires additional configuration parameters - these are provided by an extension.

There are currently extensions for the following modules, corresponding to the plugins shown:

Type: string

Defines the calibration function log10(A0) for computing MLv. Format: any number of distance-value pairs separated by semicolons Example: “0 -1.3;60 -2.8;100 -3.0;400 -4.5;1000 -5.85” specifies 4 distance intervals from 0…60, 60…100, 100…400 and 400…1000 km distance. Within these intervals log10(A0) is interpolated linearly between -1.3…-2.8, -2.8…-3.0, -3.0…-4.5 and -4.5…-5.8, respectively

Note: The distances of the first and last sample specify the distance range within which MLv shall be computed. Default is 0 -1.3;60 -2.8;100 -3.0;400 -4.5;1000 -5.85.

magnitudes.MLv.maxDistanceKm

Type: double

Unit: km

Maximum epicentral distance for computing MLv. No distance limitation for maxDistanceKm=-1 Default is -1.0.

Note

magnitudes.ML.* Parameters for computing ML magnitudes from ML amplitudes.

magnitudes.ML.logA0

Type: string

Defines the calibration function log10(A0) for computing ML.

magnitudes.ML.maxDistanceKm

Type: double

Unit: km

Maximum epicentral distance for computing ML. No distance limitation for maxDistanceKm=-1 Default is -1.0.

Command-line

Generic

-h, --help

show help message.

-V, --version

show version information

--config-file arg

Use alternative configuration file. When this option is used the loading of all stages is disabled. Only the given configuration file is parsed and used. To use another name for the configuration create a symbolic link of the application or copy it, eg scautopick -> scautopick2.

--plugins arg

Load given plugins.

-D, --daemon

Run as daemon. This means the application will fork itself and doesn’t need to be started with &.

--auto-shutdown arg

Enable/disable self-shutdown because a master module shutdown. This only works when messaging is enabled and the master module sends a shutdown message (enabled with –start-stop-msg for the master module).

--shutdown-master-module arg

Sets the name of the master-module used for auto-shutdown. This is the application name of the module actually started. If symlinks are used then it is the name of the symlinked application.

--shutdown-master-username arg

Sets the name of the master-username of the messaging used for auto-shutdown. If “shutdown-master-module” is given as well this parameter is ignored.

Verbose

--verbosity arg

Verbosity level [0..4]. 0:quiet, 1:error, 2:warning, 3:info, 4:debug

-v, --v

Increase verbosity level (may be repeated, eg. -vv)

-q, --quiet

Quiet mode: no logging output

--print-component arg

For each log entry print the component right after the log level. By default the component output is enabled for file output but disabled for console output.

--print-context arg

For each log entry print the source file name and line number.

--component arg

Limits the logging to a certain component. This option can be given more than once.

-s, --syslog

Use syslog logging back end. The output usually goes to /var/lib/messages.

-l, --lockfile arg

Path to lock file.

--console arg

Send log output to stdout.

--debug

Debug mode: –verbosity=4 –console=1

--trace

Trace mode: –verbosity=4 –console=1 –print-component=1 –print-context=1

--log-file arg

Use alternative log file.

Messaging

-u, --user arg

Overrides configuration parameter connection.username.

-H, --host arg

Overrides configuration parameter connection.server.

-t, --timeout arg

Overrides configuration parameter connection.timeout.

-g, --primary-group arg

Overrides configuration parameter connection.primaryGroup.

-S, --subscribe-group arg

A group to subscribe to. This option can be given more than once.

--content-type arg

Overrides configuration parameter connection.contentType.

--start-stop-msg arg

Sets sending of a start- and a stop message.

Database

--db-driver-list

List all supported database drivers.

-d, --database arg

The database connection string, format: service://user:pwd@host/database. “service” is the name of the database driver which can be queried with “–db-driver-list”.

--config-module arg

The configmodule to use.

--inventory-db arg

Load the inventory from the given database or file, format: [service://]location

--config-db arg

Load the configuration from the given database or file, format: [service://]location

Records

--record-driver-list

List all supported record stream drivers

-I, --record-url arg

The recordstream source URL, format: [service://]location[#type]. “service” is the name of the recordstream driver which can be queried with “–record-driver-list”. If “service” is not given “file://” is used.

--record-file arg

Specify a file as record source.

--record-type arg

Specify a type for the records being read.

Cities

--city-xml arg

The path to the cities XML file. This overrides the default paths. Compare with the global parameter “citiesXML”

User interface

-F, --full-screen

Starts the application filling the entire screen. This only works with GUI applications.

-N, --non-interactive

Use non-interactive presentation mode. This only works with GUI applications.
