Telemetry database backup?
Lead | Topic | Date Added | Notes |

LFC (and etalon) will be on ops network (for vendor remote access). Is that OK for KTL since not on KPF private network? And also for the KPF telemetry database? Would dispatchers have to be installed somewhere other than on kpf-asl-prime?
August 30. 2021
Telemetry database backup? | August 28, 2021 | Sept 2: Not backed up anywhere. SG to ask BJ if he is mirroring database? Grafana can then pull from local database? System puts data in database and plain text file. But on same computer. RAID but also on same computer. | |
chat | GitHub? Code backups? | August 23, 2021 | Sept 2: Backed up via official Keck software way of backing up - on the Keck repository (svn (sub-version)). Will: we should start doing ordinary backups of kpf-prime. Will to put system config files into repository. SG: get set up on backup drive at SSL? If not…document what we do and put in repository; 2nd sync to kpf-asl-backup. |

Aug 5: Will attempting to use Google ‘Puppeteer’ node.js package, but having trouble with required css and javascript files being locked out for security reasons July 9: Will has started on decoding ‘message’ to send to pump, but has not had a chance to try it out yet. June 17: looking into it, but reliability of intercepting javascript packets a concern Steve to check connectors on pump - more than one serial connector? - Yes - USB can connect between pump and webserver, frees up RS485 port. Decided at June 11 meeting that custom, serial-based pump control software unnecessary and we’ll use the turbo.control webserver interface for control of pump if needed for maintenance. We will try to decode javascript packets to pull telemetry values from them. |

BH | kpfpower fixes | August 19, 2021 | Sept 2: all dispatchers up and running and claiming to talk to PDUs Need to decide how to name each outlet. There is ability to lock an outlet - likely want to enable that for things like switches and computers. Easy to add, just need to decide and do it. Brad will think about timing lock openings so they close after a set time. |

WD | Agitator run instructions (superceded by webKTL interface?) | June 10, 2021 | Aug 5: Done! Now controllable form webKTL (what we will use going forward) After I finish the reconfig, the command line use will be: To Start: put it into jog mode, and set speed: modify -s kpfmot agitmod=jog agitspd=1000 (or whatever) <do something to home, gotta think about this, because we don’t actually care about a home> To Stop: modify -s kpfmot agitmod=halt What’s missing from the above: we don’t have a definition of 'homing', but the software requires being homed. Let’s discuss tomorrow.
