Configuration

The SeisComP3 configuration uses a unified schema to configure modules. Modules which use the SeisComP3 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, arclink or slarchive. They need wrappers to generate their native configuration when seiscomp update-config is run.

Though it is easy to create the configuration by directly editing the configuration files, it is even more convenient to use a configurator. SeisComP3 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, bindings and modules.

Configuration files

The trunk configuration files are simple text files where each line is a name-value pair.

Warning

In contrast to previous versions of SeisComP3 the parameter names are now case-sensitive. To check configurations from previous versions regarding case-sensitivity, scchkcfg can be used.

A simple example to assign a parameter “skyColor” the value “blue”:

skyColor = blue

Everything following an un-escaped ‘#’ (hash) is a comment and ignored. Blank lines and white spaces are ignored by the parser as well unless quoted or escaped.

skyColor = yellow  # This is a comment

# The preceding empty line is ignored and previous setting "yellow"
# is replaced by "blue":
skyColor = blue

Later assignments overwrite earlier ones so the order of lines in the configuration file is important. The file is parsed top-down.

Values can be either scalar values or lists. List items are separated by commas.

# This is a list definition
rainbowColors = red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet

If a value needs to include a comma, white space or any other interpretable character it can either be escaped with backslash (\) or quoted using double quotes (“). Whitespaces are removed in unquoted and un-escaped values.

# This is a comment

# The following list definitions have 2 items: 1,2 and 3,4
# quoted values
tuples = "1,2", "3,4"
# escaped values
tuples = 1\,2, 3\,4

Values can extend over multiple lines if a backslash is appended to each line

# Multi-line string
text = "Hello world. "\
       "This text spawns 3 lines in the configuration file "\
       "but only one line in the value."

# Multi-line list definition
rainbowColors = red,\
                orange,\
                yellow,\
                green, blue,\
                indigo, violet

Environment or preceding configuration variables can be used with ${var}.

homeDir = ${HOME}
myPath = ${homeDir}/test

Note

Values are not type-checked. Type checking is part of the application logic and will be handled there. The configuration file parser will not raise an error if a string is assigned to a parameter that is expected to be an integer.

Namespaces

A basic usage of variable names is to organize them in namespaces. A common habit is to separate namespaces and variable names with a period character:

colors.sky = blue
colors.grass = green

Here a namespace called colors is used. The configuration file parser does not care about namespaces at all. The final name (including the periods) is what counts. But to avoid repeating namespaces again and again, declarations can be wrapped in a namespace block. See the following example:

colors {
  sky = blue
  grass = green
}

Application code will still access colors.sky and colors.grass. Namespaces can be arbitrarily nested and even survive includes.

A {
  B1 {
    var1 = 123
  }

  B2 {
    var1 = 456
  }
}

The final list of parameter names is:

• A.B1.var1
• A.B2.var1

Stations

Station meta-data is a fundamental requirement for a seismic processing system and for SeisComP3. Older version used key files to configure available networks and stations. Because the support of response meta-data was very limited, tools were build to add this functionality. In this version the concept of key files for station meta-data has been completely removed from the system. SeisComP3 only handles station meta-data in its own XML format called inventory ML. The task of supporting old key files, dataless SEED and other formats has been out-sourced to external applications (see Inventory synchronization is a two-stage process:).

Inventory synchronization is a two-stage process:

(1) convert external formats into inventory ML, then (2) synchronize inventory pool with the database

External formats are first converted into inventory ML, and then merged and synchronized with the database using seiscomp update-config. All station meta-data are stored in etc/inventory and can be organized as needed. Either one file per network, a file containing the complete inventory or one file for all instruments and one file per station. The update script loads the existing inventory from the database and merges each file in etc/inventory. Finally it removes all unreferenced objects and sends all updates to the database.

The SeisComP3 configuration does not deal with station meta-data anymore. It only configures parameters for modules and module-station associations. The management of the inventory can and should be handled by external tools.

Bindings

A binding is always connected to a module. The binding configuration directory for each module is etc/key/modulename. It contains either station bindings or profiles.

Bindings are configured and stored in etc/key.

Binding

A binding holds the configuration how a station is used in a module.

To bind a station (identified by net_sta) to a module with a set of parameters the first step is to register a module for that station. For that a station key file needs to be created or modified.

Note

To reflect the old framework, a station binding is prefixed with station_ and a profile with profile_.

Let’s suppose we have two stations, GE.MORC and GE.UGM and both stations should be configured for SeedLink. Two station key files need to be created (or modified later): etc/key/station_GE_MORC and etc/key/station_GE_UGM.

Both files must contain a line with the module the station is configured for, e.g.:

seedlink

which uses the binding at etc/key/seedlink/station_GE_UGM. When a profile should be used, append it to the module with a colon.

seedlink:geofon

Then the binding at etc/key/seedlink/profile_geofon is read for station GE.UGM. To list all modules a particular station is configured for is very simple by printing the content of the station key file:

$ cat etc/key/station_GE_MORC
seedlink:geofon
global:BH
scautopick

The other way round is a bit more complicated but at least all information is there. To show all stations configured for SeedLink could be done this way:

$ for i in `find etc/key -type f -maxdepth 1 -name "station_*_*"`; do
> egrep -q '^seedlink(:.*){0,1}$' $i && echo $i;
> done
etc/key/station_GE_MORC
etc/key/station_GE_UGM

Storage

Where are bindings stored? For standalone modules: nobody knows. It is the task of a standalone module’s initialization script to convert the bindings to the module’s native configuration.

For all trunk (non-standalone) modules the bindings are written to the SeisComP3 database following the configuration schema. This is done when seiscomp update-config is called. Each module reads the configuration database and fetches all station bindings registered for that module. The database schema used consists of five tables: ConfigModule, ConfigStation, Setup, ParameterSet and Parameter.

Configuration database schema

Now an example is shown how the tables are actually linked and how the station bindings are finally stored in the database. To illustrate the contents of the objects, the XML representation is used.

<Config>
  <module publicID="Config/trunk" name="trunk" enabled="true">
    ...
  </module>
</Config>

A ConfigModule with publicID Config/trunk is created with name trunk. This ConfigModule is managed by the global initialization script (etc/init/trunk.py) and will be synchronized with configured bindings of all trunk modules. The ConfigModule trunk is the one that is actually used by all configurations unless configured otherwise with:

scapp --config-module test

Here scapp would read ConfigModule test. Because a ConfigModule test is not managed by seiscomp update-config it is up to the user to create it.

For each station that has at least one binding, a ConfigStation object is attached to the ConfigModule:

<Config>
  <module publicID="Config/trunk" name="trunk" enabled="true">
    <station publicID="Config/trunk/GE/UGM"
             networkCode="GE" stationCode="UGM" enabled="true">
      ...
    </station>
  </module>
</Config>

and finally one Setup per module:

<Config>
  <module publicID="Config/trunk" name="trunk" enabled="true">
    <station publicID="Config/trunk/GE/UGM"
             networkCode="GE" stationCode="UGM" enabled="true">
      <setup name="default" enabled="true">
        <parameterSetID>
          ParameterSet/trunk/Station/GE/UGM/default
        </parameterSetID>
      </setup>
      <setup name="scautopick" enabled="true">
        <parameterSetID>
          ParameterSet/trunk/Station/GE/UGM/scautopick
        </parameterSetID>
      </setup>
    </station>
  </module>
</Config>

Here two setups have been created: default (which is a special case for module global to be backwards compatible) and scautopick where each refers to a ParameterSet by its publicID. The next XML fragment shows the ParameterSet referred by the scautopick setup of station GE.UGM:

<Config>
  <parameterSet publicID="ParameterSet/trunk/Station/GE/UGM/scautopick"
                created="...">
    <baseID>ParameterSet/trunk/Station/GE/UGM/default</baseID>
    <moduleID>Config/trunk</moduleID>
    <parameter publicID="...">
      <name>timeCorr</name>
      <value>-0.8</value>
    </parameter>
    <parameter publicID="...">
      <name>detecFilter</name>
      <value>
        RMHP(10)&gt;&gt;ITAPER(30)&gt;&gt;BW(4,0.7,2)&gt;&gt;STALTA(2,80)
      </value>
    </parameter>
    <parameter publicID="...">
      <name>trigOff</name>
      <value>1.5</value>
    </parameter>
    <parameter publicID="...">
      <name>trigOn</name>
      <value>3</value>
    </parameter>
  </parameterSet>
</Config>

The mapping to the binding configuration files is 1:1. Each parameter in the configuration file is exactly one parameter in the database and their names are matching exactly.

The concept of global bindings which are specialized for each application is reflected by the baseID of the ParameterSet which points to setup default of station GE.UGM:

<Config>
  <parameterSet publicID="ParameterSet/trunk/Station/GE/UGM/default"
                created="...">
    <moduleID>Config/trunk</moduleID>
    <parameter publicID="...">
      <name>detecStream</name>
      <value>BH</value>
    </parameter>
  </parameterSet>
</Config>

This ends up with a final configuration for scautopick and station GE.UGM:

Name	Value
detecStream	BH
timeCorr	-0.8
detecFilter	RMHP(10)>>ITAPER(30)>>BW(4,0.7,2)>>STALTA(2,80)
trigOff	1.5
trigOn	3

which is the concatenation of the two files etc/key/global/station_GE_UGM and etc/key/scautopick/station_GE_UGM.

Modules

A module is configured by its configuration files either to be used directly or to generate its native configuration. Modules that need to convert the configuration or do not use the default configuration options (see below) are called standalone modules.

Each standalone module tries to read from three configuration files whereas trunk modules try to read six files. Note that configuration parameters defined earlier are overwritten if defined in files read in later:

File	Standalone	Trunk
etc/defaults/global.cfg		X
etc/defaults/module.cfg	X	X
etc/global.cfg		X
etc/module.cfg	X	X
~/.seiscomp3/global.cfg		X
~/.seiscomp3/module.cfg	X	X

The configuration section describes all available configuration parameters for a trunk module. Not all modules make use of all available parameters because they may be disabled, e.g. the messaging component. So the configuration of the messaging server is disabled too.

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
scm	text ncurses email
kernel	syncarc messaging
seedlink	caps q330 mseedfifo chain
arclink	reqhandler
global	GUI MLr FX-DFX MLv ML Ms_20 ML_IDC mb_IDC RecordStream LOCSAT FixedHypocenter MN Hypo71 Md NonLinLoc MLh
scevent	RegionCheck

See the documentation for each module for further information about its extensions.

Default is @DATADIR@/maps/world%s.png.

map.format

Type: string

Projection of the map tiles. Supported formats are: rectangular and mercator. Default is rectangular.

map.cacheSize

Type: int

Unit: bytes

Cache size of the map tiles. If 0 is specified a default cache size of 32mb is used. The higher the cache size the better the performance in higher resolutions. A higher cache size causes less image loader calls but requires more client memory. Default is 0.

map.type

Type: string

Used to distinguish tile store implementations provided by plug-ins.

map.customLayers

Type: list:string

Allows to add custom layers that are included via plugins. This is a list of layer names. A plugin must implement the layer interface and register itself with the name used in this list. The order of layers is the default order. The custom layers are prepended to the maps defaults layers such as the grid and the cities.

map.layers

Type: string

Defines the order of all configured layers. This includes the standard layers (grid, cities) as well as custom layers. The name of the grid layer is “grid” and the name of the cities layer is “cities”.

map.zoom.sensitivity

Type: double

Zoom sensitivity of the map Default is 0.5.

Note

scheme.* This group defines various color and font options for SeisComp3 graphical user interfaces. There are various conventions to define colors, fonts and gradients. A color is defined in HTML convention. If rgb or rgba is used it must be quoted because the comma is handled as list separator by the configuration. Gradients are configured as lists of tuples where each tuple is colon separated in the form value:color. Color is again a color definition and value is either int or double.

MLh.maxavg

Type: string

Define combiner operation for both horizontals (min, max, avg). Default is max.

MLh.ClippingThreshold

Type: double

MLh clipping level, in raw counts, eg. 80% of 2^23 = 6710886.

MLh.params

Type: string

Defines attenuation parameters for MLh. Format: “UpToKilometers A B; UpToNextKilometers A B;”. Example: “30 nomag; 60 0.018 2.17; 700 0.0038 3.02”. The first parameter set “30 nomag” means that up to 30km from the sensor the magnitude should not be calculated.

Note: No MLh computation if params is empty.

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.

--encoding arg

Overrides configuration parameter connection.encoding.

--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 city.xml file. This overrides the default paths.
