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 configuration 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 graphical configuration tool. SeisComP ships with scconfig, a graphical configuration and management tool 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:

Module	Plugin’s
global	Hypo71 Md NonLinLoc MLh iLoc MN MLr GUI StdLoc LocExt RecordStream Ms_20 mb ML_IDC ML MLc MLv mB_BB mb_IDC FX-DFX homogeneous LOCSAT FixedHypocenter

scheme.* This group defines various options for color, pen, brush, font, etc. for SeisComP graphical user interfaces. There are various conventions to define colors, fonts and gradients. ** Colors are defined in HTML convention, e.g. as rgb values, hexadecimal numbers or color keyword names defined by W3C. If rgb or rgba is used, it must be quoted because the comma is handled as list separator by the configuration. Examples: “rgb(255,0,0)”, FF00FF40, green. ** Gradients are configured as lists of tuples where each tuple is colon separated in the form value:color. Value is either int or double and color is again a color definition. Example: 0:yellow,10:red

StdLoc.profile.$name.GridSearch.travelTimeError

Default: 0.25

Type: double

Unit: s

Typical error in seconds for travel-time to one station. This value affects the uncertainty of the location. In OctTree it also influences the probability density computation: a too conservative value increases the number of iterations required by OctTree to converge to a high resolution solution.

Note

StdLoc.profile.$name.OctTree.* Find the source location and time via OctTree search. This method uses the parameters defined in GridSearch, but applies the OctTree search algorithm to the grid. The starting cells of the OctTree search are created by dividing the initial grid in equally sized cells. The number of cells in each direction is ‘GridSearch.numPoints’ - 1, since the grid points becomes the cell vertices. The solution can be further improved combining OctTree with the Least Squares algorithm, which can use the OctTree solution as initial location estimate.

StdLoc.profile.$name.OctTree.maxIterations

Type: int

Number of iterations after which the search stops. A zero or negative value disable this stopping mechanism.

StdLoc.profile.$name.OctTree.minCellSize

The calibration value ‘c5’ applied in the parametric magnitude calibration formula.

Note

amplitudes.MLv.* Parameters for measuring MLv amplitudes. Add more parameters by adding an amplitude type profile ‘MLv’,

amplitudes.MLv.preFilter

Type: string

The filter applied to raw records before applying Wood-Anderson simulation. Default: no pre-filtering.

amplitudes.MLv.measureType

Default: AbsMax

Type: string

This parameter allows to set how the amplitude is measured. Either by finding the absolute maximum of the demeaned trace (AbsMax), the difference of maximum and minimum of the signal window (MinMax) or the maximum peak-trough of one cycle (PeakTrough).

Note that if absMax is already explicitly configured, this parameter has no effect.

Note

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

magnitudes.MLv.logA0

Default: 0:-1.3,60:-2.8,100:-3.0,400:-4.5,1000:-5.85

Type: string

The calibration function log10(A0).

Format: any list of distance-value pairs separated by comma. Values within pairs are separated by colon.

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 first and last distance samples limit the maximum distance range for computing MLv.

magnitudes.MLv.maxDistanceKm

Default: -1.0

Type: double

Unit: km

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

Note

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

magnitudes.mB.minDist

Default: 5

Type: double

Unit: deg

Minimum epicentral distance for computing mB. Note: According to the IASPEI recommendations in 2013, the minimum distance should be 20 deg.

magnitudes.mB.maxDist

Default: 105

Type: double

Unit: deg

Maximum epicentral distance for computing mB.

magnitudes.mb(IDC).Q

Type: path

Location of the station specific Q table. If not specified then @DATADIR@/magnitudes/IDC/qfvc.ml will be used as fallback. {net}, {sta} and {loc} are placeholders which will be replaced with the concrete network code, station code and location code.

Note

fx.* Feature extraction types, e.g. for scautopick.

Note

fx.DFX.* Three component feature extraction algorithm ported from the automatic processing system implemented at CTBTO/IDC. The documentation of the methods is not publically available. In case of questions and comments, please contact CTBTO by email: support@ctbto.org.

Default: 0.1

Type: double

A station-dependent parameter used to compute the back azimuth and slowness errors.

Command-Line Options

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. Example: 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

Set 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

Set 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

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

-s, --syslog

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