seedlink¶

Real-time waveform server implementing the SeedLink protocol.

Description¶

SeedLink is a real-time data acquisition protocol and a client-server software that implements this protocol. The SeedLink protocol is based on TCP. All connections are initiated by the client. During handshaking phase the client can subscribe to specific stations and streams using simple commands in ASCII coding. When handshaking is completed, a stream of SeedLink “packets” consisting of a 8-byte SeedLink header (containing the sequence number) followed by a 512-byte miniSEED record, is sent to the client. The packets of each individual station are always transferred in timely (FIFO) order. The SeedLink implementation used in SeisComP is the oldest and most widely used, however, other implementations exist. Another well-known implementation is deployed in IRIS DMC and some manufacturers have implemented SeedLink in their digitizer firmware. All implementations are generally compatible, but not all of them support the full SeedLink protocol. On the other hand IRIS DMC implements some extensions which are not supported by other servers. In the following we use “SeedLink” to denote the SeedLink implementation used in SeisComP. The data source of a SeedLink server can be anything which is supported by a SeedLink plugin - a small program that sends data to the SeedLink server. Plugins are controlled by the SeedLink server, e.g., a plugin is automatically restarted if it crashes or a timeout occurs. Data supplied by a plugin can be a form of miniSEED packets or just raw integer samples with accompanying timing information. In the latter case, the SeedLink server uses an inegrated “Stream Processor” to create the desired data streams and assemble miniSEED packets.

Supported data sources¶

The table below lists digitizers and data acquisition systems that are supported by SeedLink plugins. More plugins (Kinemetrics K2, Lennartz MARS-88, Lennartz PCM 5800, etc.) have been implemented by various users, but are not (yet) included in the package. The included C language plugin interface is described in section 5.1.1.5. Antelope, Earthworm and NAQS can also import data from SeisComP. In SeisComP the class RecordStream is implemented that supports both SeedLink and ArcLink sources; this class is used by all SeisComP modules that work with waveform data. On a lower level, SeedLink clients can be implemented using the Libslink [16] software library or its Java counterpart, JSeedLink. Libslink supports Linux/UNIX, Windows and MacOS X platforms, and comes with an exhaustive documentation in form of UNIX manual pages.

Telnet interface¶

seedlink provides a telnet interface accepting the commands set out in Commands through the seedlink port

telnet [host] [port]

Example fetching the SeedLink version:

$ telnet localhost 18000
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.gempa.de.
Escape character is '^]'.
hello
SeedLink v3.3 (2020.122)
bye
Connection closed by foreign host.

Queries¶

seedlink provides a query interface. Use slinktool to send queries for fetching:

Station and stream information
Waveform data

Protocol¶

A SeedLink session starts with opening the TCP/IP connection and ends with closing the TCP/IP connection. During the session the following steps are performed in order:

Opening the connection
Handshaking
Transferring SeedLink packets

We will take a closer look at the protocol. Note, the details are normally hidden from the clients by the libslink software library; therefore it is not necessary to be familiar with the protocol in order to implement clients.

Handshaking¶

When the TCP/IP connection has been established the server will wait for the client to start handshaking without initially sending any data to the client. During handshaking the client sends SeedLink commands to the server. The commands are used to set the connection into a particular mode, setup stream selectors, request a packet sequence number to start with and eventually start data transmission. SeedLink commands consist of an ASCII string followed by zero or several arguments separated by spaces and terminated with carriage return (<cr>, ASCII code 13) followed by an optional linefeed (<lf>, ASCII code 10). The commands can be divided into two categories: “action commands” and “modifier commands”. Action commands perform a function such as starting data transfer. Modifier commands are used to specialize or modify the function performed by the action commands that follow. When a server receives a modifier command it responds with the ASCII string “OK” followed by a carriage return and a line feed to acknowledge that the command has been accepted. If the command was not recognized by the server or has invalid parameters, then the ASCII string “ERROR” is sent as a response to the client followed by a carriage return and a line feed. The client should not send any further commands before it has received a response to the previous modifier command. If a network error or timeout occurs the client should close the connection and start a new session. Data transmission is started when the server receives the commands DATA, FETCH, TIME or END as described in section 5.1.1.3. Once the data transfer has been started no more commands, except INFO, should be sent to the server. The flow diagram of handshaking in uni-station vs. multi-station mode is shown in Handshaking in uni-station vs. multi-station mode..

Data Transfer¶

When handshaking has been completed the server starts sending data packets, each consisting of an 8-byte SeedLink header followed by a 512-byte miniSEED record. The SeedLink header is an ASCII string consisting of the letters “SL” followed by a six-digit hexadecimal packet sequence number. Each station has its own sequence numbers. If multiple stations are requested using a single TCP channel the client should look at the contents of the miniSEED header to determine the station name (or to maintain the current sequence numbers for each station). A sequence number in the same format is used as an argument to the commands “DATA” or “FETCH” to start the data transfer from a particular packet. Each SeedLink node re-assigns sequence numbers for technical reasons. It is not possible to use the same sequence numbers when communicating with alternative servers. Within a particular node the sequence numbers of a single station are consecutive and wrap around at FFFFFF. This can be used by the client to detect “sequence gaps” (e.g., some data has been missed by the client due to long network outage or a software bug). However, if stream selectors are used the sequence numbers are only guaranteed to be in increasing order (with wrap) because some packets might be filtered out by the server. In this case the first packet is not necessarily the one requested, but the nearest packet (not older than requested) that matches installed selectors. The data is transferred as a continuous stream without any error detections or flow control because these functions are performed by the TCP protocol. This guarantees the highest data transfer rate that is possible with the particular hardware and TCP/IP implementation. Obviously, the average data transfer rate must be greater than the rate at which new data becomes ready to send at the server. If this is the case, sooner or later the server has sent all data available to the client. When this happens, depending on the SeedLink mode, the server sends new data as soon as it arrives or appends ASCII string “END” to the last packet and waits for the client to close connection. The latter mode is called “dial-up mode” because it is normally used in conjunction with dial-up lines to open the connection periodically for a short time and download all data available. A SeedLink packet can never start with “END” thus no ambiguity arises.

Commands¶

HELLO: responds with a two-line message (both lines terminated with <cr><lf>). The first line contains the version number of the SeedLink daemon, the second line contains station or data center description specified in the configuration. HELLO is used mainly for testing a SeedLink server with “telnet”. It is also used by libslink to determine the server version.
CAT: shows the station list. Used mainly for testing a SeedLink server with “telnet”.
BYE: closes the connection. Used mainly for testing a SeedLink server with “telnet”.
STATION station code [network code]: turns on multi-station mode, used to transfer data of multiple stations over a single TCP channel. The STATION command, followed by SELECT (optional) and FETCH, DATA or TIME commands is repeated for each station and the handshaking is finished with END. STATION is a modifier command (it modifies the function of subsequent SELECT, and DATA, FETCH or TIME commands) so it responds with “OK” on success, “ERROR” otherwise.
END: end of handshaking in multi-station mode. This is an action command, because it starts data transfer. No explicit response is sent.
SELECT [pattern]: when used without pattern, all selectors are canceled. Otherwise, the pattern is a positive selector to enable matching miniSEED stream transfer. The pattern can be used as well as a negative selector with a leading “!” to prevent the transfer of some miniSEED streams. Only one selector can be used in a single SELECT request. A SeedLink packet is sent to the client if it matches any positive selector and doesn’t match any negative selectors.

General format of selectors is LLCCC.T where LL is location, CCC is channel, and T is type (one of DECOTL for data, event, calibration, blockette, timing, and log records). “LL”, “.T”, and “LLCCC.” can be omitted, meaning “any”. It is also possible to use “?” in place of L and C. Some examples can be found in table 3-1 in section 3.3.3.2. SELECT is a modifier command (it modifies the function of subsequent DATA, FETCH or TIME commands) so a response follows with “OK” on success, “ERROR” otherwise.

DATA [n [begin time]]: in multi-station mode this sets the current station into real-time mode and (optionally) the current sequence number to n; in uni-station mode this starts data transfer in real-time mode from packet n or from the next packet available if used without arguments. If begin time is used, any older packets are filtered out. begin time should be in the form of 6 decimal numbers separated by commas in the form: year,month,day,hour,minute,second, e.g. ’2002,08,05,14,00,00’. DATA is a modifier command in multi-station mode (responds with “OK” or “ERROR”); in uni-station mode it is an action command (no explicit response is sent).
FETCH [n [begin time]]: works like DATA but sets the station to dial-up mode instead of real-time mode.
TIME [begin time [end time]]: extracts the time window from begin time to end time. The times are specified in the form of 6 decimal numbers separated by commas in the form: year,month,day,hour,minute,second, e.g. ’2002,08,05,14,00,00’.
INFO level: requests an INFO packet containing XML data embedded in a miniSEED log record. level should be one of the following: ID, CAPABILITIES, STATIONS, STREAMS, GAPS, CONNECTIONS, ALL. The XML document conforms to the Document Type Definition (DTD) shown in section ???. The amount of info available depends on the configuration of the SeedLink server.

Plugin Interface¶

In order to implement a SeedLink plugin a developer needs two files included in the SeisComP distribution: plugin.h and plugin.c. In these files the following public functions are defined:

int send_raw3(const char *station, const char *channel, const struct ptime *pt, int usec_correction, int timing_quality, const int32_t *dataptr, int number_of_samples)¶

is used to send a raw packet (array of 32-bit integer samples) to SeedLink. The parameters are:

station: station ID, must match one of the defined stations in seedlink.ini. (Up to 10 characters.)
channel: channel ID, referenced by the “input” element in streams.xml. (Up to 10 characters.)
pt: time of the first sample in the array. If NULL then time is calculated relative to the previous send_raw3() call. struct ptime is defined in plugin.h.
usec_correction: time correction in microseconds to be written in the SEED data header. Can be useful if the digitizer is not phase locked to GPS.
timing_quality: timing quality in percent (0-100). The number is directly written into miniSEED header (blockette 1001). Semantics is implementation-defined. Usually 100 means that GPS is in lock and 0 means there never was a GPS lock, so the timing is completely unreliable. When GPS goes out of lock, the value can slowly decrease reflecting a possible timedrift.
dataptr: Array of signed 32-bit samples.
Number_of_samples: Length of the sample array.

Special cases:

If timing_quality = -1, blockette 1001 is omitted.
If number_of_samples = 0 & pt = NULL set new time without sending any data.
If dataptr = NULL send a gap (advance time as if number of samples was sent without sending any actual data).

int send_raw_depoch(const char *station, const char *channel, double depoch, int usec_correction, int timing_quality, const int32_t dataptr, int number_of_samples)¶

same as send_raw3() except time is measured in seconds since 1 January 1970 (depoch). Leap seconds are ignored.

int send_flush3(const char *station, const char *channel)¶

flushes all miniSEED data streams associated with a channel. All buffered data is sent out creating “unfilled” miniSEED records if necessary. The parameters are:

station: station ID.
Channel: channel ID.

int send_mseed(const char *station, const void *dataptr, int packet_size)¶

is used to send a miniSEED packet to SeedLink. Such packets are not further processed. The parameters are:

station: station ID.
dataptr: pointer to 512-byte miniSEED packet.
packet size: must be 512.

int send_log3(const char *station, const struct ptime *pt, const char *fmt, ...)¶

is used to send a log message to SeedLink (LOG stream). It must be noted that encapsulating log messages in miniSEED records is relatively inefficient because each message takes at least one record (512 bytes), regardless of message size. Due to 64-byte miniSEED header, up to 448 bytes per record can be used * The parameters are:

station: station ID.
pt: the timestamp of the message.
fmt: format string, as used by printf(), followed by a variable number of arguments.

Compatibility with Earlier Versions¶

It is possible to determine the version of the plugin interface by looking at the C macro PLUGIN_INTERFACE_VERSION. The current version is 3, therefore all functions that have changed since earlier versions end with “3”. It is possible to enable full backward compatibility with earlier versions of the plugin interface by defining the C macro PLUGIN_COMPATIBILITY. In this case the old functions are also defined.

SeedLink configuration files¶

The following configuration files are used by SeedLink and its plugins.

Warning

Some files such as seedlink.ini, plugin.ini and chain*.xml are generated by the seiscomp tool according to the configuration in etc/seedlink.cfg and its bindings. They live in var/lib/seedlink and should not be modified. If modifications are necessary then the generator needs to be changed to better support the desired user options.

plugins.ini: Configuration file for SeedLink plugins. Used by serial_plugin, fs_plugin and comserv_plugin.
seedlink.ini: Main configuration file for SeedLink. For more details see below.
filters.fir: Coefficients of SeedLink’s decimating FIR filters. If a filter’s name ends with “M”, it is a minimum-phase filter – causal filter with minimized (non-constant) phase delay; since the filter is non-symmetric all coefficients must be given. Otherwise the filter is a zero-phase filter, i.e. a non-causal filter with zero phase delay; in this case the filter is symmetric and so only half of the coefficients must be given (it is not possible to use a zero-phase filter with an odd number of coefficients).

Warning

The coefficients for non-symmetric (minimum-phase) FIR filters in the filters.fir file are stored in reverse order. It is important to reverse the order of coefficients if the operator adds a new minimum-phase filter or uses the included minimum-phase filters for another application. The coefficients for symmetric (zero-phase) FIR filters are not stored in reverse order. As a sanity check for symmetric filters the largest coefficient is always in the middle of the symmetry.

streams.xml: SeedLink stream configuration file for the internal stream processor, referenced from seedlink.ini. For details see below.

*.ini files have a somewhat obscure syntax. They contain zero or more sections, each beginning with a section name in squared brackets which should appear on a line of its own. Section name cannot contain spaces and squared brackets, but it can be optionally surrounded by spaces. Each section consists of zero or more entries – definitions and assignments. A definition consists of a keyword and a name separated by spaces (e.g. “station EDD”). An assignment consists of a parameter and a value separated by the “=” sign and optionally surrounded by spaces (e.g. “network = GE”).

The set of assignments that immediately follow a definition is in the scope of that definition. Assignments in the beginning of a section are “global” – they are used to set some generic parameters and provide default values (e.g. “network = GE” in the beginning of the section sets the default network that can be overridden in the scope of a station definition).

Parameters and keywords are case insensitive and must not contain the symbols “=”, “[”, “]” or spaces. Names must not contain “=” signs or spaces. Values must not contain “=” signs or spaces, unless enclosed in double quotes. Double quotes that are part of the value itself must be preceded by “".

Each assignment must be complete on a single line, but several assignments can appear on one line, separated by spaces. Any line beginning with a “#” or “*” character is regarded as a comment and ignored.

seedlink.ini¶

seedlink.ini may contain several sections, but only one having the same name as the executable to be used. A section in seedlink.ini has the following structure (parameters are shown in courier, default values are shown in squared brackets, but relying on them is not recommended):

seedlink.ini is generated from ~/.seiscomp/seedlink.cfg and etc/seedlink.cfg.

streams.xml¶

This file, like all XML documents, has a tree-like structure. The root element is called “stream” and it in turn contains “proc” elements which are referenced by name in seedlink.ini. A “proc” element contains one or more “tree” elements, which in turn contain “input” and “node” elements. There should be one “input” element per plugin channel; if an “input” element is missing, the channel is ignored and you will see a message like:

Jun 24 12:56:28 st55 seedlink: EDD channel X ignored

Here is the description of all elements and attributes:

element streams: root element, has no attributes.
element proc: defines a “proc” object (set of “stream trees”), referenced from seedlink.ini.
attribute name: name of “proc” object, for reference.
element using: used to include all “stream trees” defined by one “proc” object in another “proc” object.
attribute name: the name of referenced “proc” object.
element tree: defines a “stream tree” – a downsampling scheme of an input channel.
element input: associates an input channel with the stream tree.
attribute name: name of the input channel; depends on the configuration of the particular plugin (usual channel names are “Z”, “N” and “E”).
attribute channel: name of the output channel (last letter of a miniSEED stream name).
attribute location: miniSEED location code of the output channel (up to two characters).
attribute rate: sampling rate of the input channel (must match the actual sampling rate, which is dependent on the configuration of the plugin and digitizer).
element node: defines a node of a stream tree; this element is recursive, meaning that it may contain one or more “node” elements itself.
attribute filter: use the named filter for decimation; filters are defined in file filters.fir.
attribute stream: create miniSEED output stream at this node. The value of the attribute should be a miniSEED stream name without the last character (which is taken from the attribute “channel” of element “input”).

streams.xml is generated into var/lib/seedlink/streams.xml. Each data plugin provides templates with predefined procs. If e.g. the chain plugin is configured with proc stream100 then share/templates/seedlink/chain/streams_stream100.tpl is being read and generated into the final streams.xml. Own proc definitions can be added by creation a corresponding template file.

Again, the source and proc definition is used to resolve the streams proc template file at share/templates/seedlink/[source]/streams_[proc].tpl.

scream_ring¶

SCREAM! server plugin that receives data via the SCREAM! protocol and sends raw data to Seedlink. The mapping from SCREAM! channel id’s to Seedlink net.sta.loc.cha is defined in $INSTALLDIR/var/lib/seedlink/config/scream2sl.map if not specified otherwise (parameter ‘map’). This is the second revision of the scream plugin which supports buffering for short-term completeness.

sources.scream_ring.address¶

Default: 127.0.0.1

Type: string

IP of the SCREAM! server.

sources.scream_ring.port¶

Default: 1567

Type: int

Port of the SCREAM!

sources.scream_ring.tcp¶

Default: false

Type: boolean

Enables TCP/IP mode. By default the data is received via UDP but TCP is used instead. This needs a propert configuration of the SCREAM! server to accept TCP connections.

sources.scream_ring.tcpport¶

Default: 1567

Type: int

TCP request port of the SCREAM! for backfill requests

sources.scream_ring.proc¶

Type: string

Name of the proc object (defined in streams.xml); used for processing raw streams (streams submitted by a plugin as raw samples).

sources.scream_ring.rsize¶

Default: 1000

Type: int

Size of the stream ringbuffers (small values are useful for RT systems; large values for decreasing gaps).

sources.scream_ring.map¶

Type: string

sources.scream_ring.channels¶

Type: list:string

Defines the channel mappings (ID:channel, …) from SCREAM! to the channel code used in streams.xml. If no channel mappings are given, the map file defined in map (either default or custom) is used.

sources.win.map¶

Type: string

Defines an alternative stream mapping file. The default file is in $INSTALLDIR/var/lib/seedlink/win2sl.map. If this path is not an absolute path it will treated as relative path to $INSTALLDIR/var/lib/seedlink.

sources.win.channels¶

Type: list:string

List of channels (hexID:name, …). The name can either be a single channel name or a combination of station and channel separated by a whitespace, e.g. "ABCD BHZ". If no station name is given, e.g. only BHZ is specified, the name of the station the plugin bound to is used. The definition of a station name is important if the plugin configuration is used as a profile and assigned to multiple stations. In this case a mapping file would be the more appropriate solution.

If no channel mappings are given, the map file defined in map (either default or custom) is used.

sources.win.proc¶

Default: win

Type: string

Name of the proc object (defined in streams.xml); used for processing raw streams (streams submitted by a plugin as raw samples).
