extends java.lang.Object
implements ParamValues

Class Server manages the gathering of information from collection agents, the controlling of the stations via the control agents, and services any requests coming from GUI-clients. This program contains many settings that can be set on the command line or in a configuration file.


Command Line Options

-c, --configFile [path] : The file to use as the configuration file for the SeisNetWatch server program.

-b, --programName [name_string] : The name of this program as it should be displayed. The default name is "SeisNetWatch".

-b, --baseDir [path] : The base directory into which the different program files, configuration files and log files are placed. The directories are [baseDir}/bin, [baseDir]/conf, [baseDir]/class, and [baseDir]/log. Any program binaries are place in 'bin', configuration files are placed in 'conf', the Java class files are placed in 'class', and any log files are placed in 'log'. The default base directory is "../".

-d, --daemon : Puts the NSI in daemon mode (no console input). Default is to accept a terminate command on the keyboard to shutdown.

-s, --staticParamsNap [seconds] : This option allows the user to set the length of time the program is to sleep after the initial request for the static parameter information for all the stations. The default setting is for 30 seconds.

-g, --gatherSPTimeout [seconds] : This option sets the length of time the program will spend gathering static parameters. Once the specified length of time has passed the program will no longer attempt to acquire more static parameter data from the collection agents. The default setting is for 300 seconds. A setting of zero indicates an infinite timeout, where the program will attempt to acquire more static parameter data until all of it is received.

-i, --inactivityTimeout [seconds] : This option sets the length of time that a client connection needs to be inactive before being automatically disconnected. The default setting is for 300 seconds. A setting of zero indicates an infinite timeout, where the clients will never be automatically disconnected. (Note that this setting does not refer to user inactivity on the client program, but rather whether or not the client has a live connection to the server.)

-y, --historyLengthHours [hours] : This option sets the length of time that dynamic parameter values are saved in the history buffer. A setting of zero disables the history feature. The maximum allowed setting is 32767 hours; the default setting is 4 hours. (This may be specified as a floating-point value.)

-r, --consoleRedirectFileName [file] : If a filename is given then the "standard" output and "standard" error console output streams are redirected into the given file. If an absolute pathname (starting with '/') is not given then the file is placed in the '[baseDir]/log' directory. The default filename is "" (empty string for no redirection).

-l, --globalLogFileName [file] : The NSI server places status information into the given log file. The default name of the file is "NSIserver.log" and it is placed in '[baseDir]/log'. This option accepts absolute paths, relative paths or just the file name.

--logFilesMaxAgeDays [days] : This option sets the maximum age for log files. A setting of zero indicates no maximum, where the program will not remove any log files. The default setting is for 90 days.

-L, --logfileLogLevel [level] : The logfileLogLevel selects what level of log messages are sent to the log file. There are six different levels: 'NO_MSGS', 'INFO', 'WARNING', 'ERROR', 'DEBUG', and 'ALL_MSGS'. One of these must be used as the argument. The default level is ERROR.

-C, --consoleLogLevel [level] : The consoleLogLevel selects what level of log messages are sent to the console output. The levels are the same as for the logfileLogLevel. The default level is NO_MSGS.

-p, --configFileParsingLogFlag : If specified then debug information pertaining to the file parsing routines will be sent to a log file named 'NSIparsing.log'.

-P, --configFileParsingLogfile [filename] : This switch tells the program where to store the NSI parsign log info. It accepts absolute paths, relative paths, or just the file name. The default location of this file is '[baseDir]/log/NSIparsing.log'.

--configFilePollingIntervalMS [milliseconds] : Specifies the interval delay to be used between polls of the stations and ruleset configuration files. The default value is 10000 (milliseconds).

--configFileAccessTimeoutMS [milliseconds] : Specifies the timeout to be used when polling the stations and ruleset configuration files. The default value is 30000 (milliseconds).

-R, --rulesetFileName [file] : The ruleset file is a file which holds information about how the stations will be classified. The switch accepts absolute paths, relative paths, or just the file name. The default location of this file is '[baseDir]/conf/ruleset.ini'.

-S, --stationsFileName [file] : The Stations file contains the names and information about all the stations in the network that the NSI server should know about and care about. The switch accepts absolute paths, relative paths, or just the file name. The default location of this file is '[baseDir]/conf/stations_info.ini'.

-G, --guiAcceptorIORFile [file] : In this file is placed the CORBA Object Reference (IOR) for the GUIAcceptor class. The switch accepts absolute paths only. The default value for this parameter is 'gui_acceptor_ior.ref'.

-I, --hostIPAddress [address] : The IP address (in the form #.#.#.#) for the machine hosting this program may be specified. This can be useful when the machine has more than one IP address associated with it. If this parameter is not given then the program will attempt to determine and use a valid IP address for the machine (which, in most cases, works well).

-o, --orbPortNum [number] : This parameter allows the port number used by the CORBA services to be specified (as a number between 0 and 32768). The default value is 1045.

--useSepEvtChOrbFlag : Configures the server to use a separate CORBA ORB when accessing the event channels. For installations where an external "public" IP is specified via 'hostIPAddress', setting this flag allows the server to access the event channels via an internal "private" IP address. This can be useful when running the server behind a network-address-translating (NAT) router. The 'evtChOrbIPAddress' parameter may (optionally) be used to specify the internal "private" IP address. If this parameter is not specified or is set to 'false' then the single default CORBA ORB is used.

--evtChOrbIPAddress [address] : If the server is configured to use a separate CORBA ORB when accessing the event channels (via the 'useSepEvtChOrbFlag' parameter) then this parameter may be used to specify the IP address used with the separate ORB. If this parameter is not used then the default local host address will be used.

-ORBconfig [file] : This parameter allows the path to the 'orb.config' to be specified. The switch accepts absolute paths, relative paths, or just the file name. The default location of this file is '[baseDir]/conf/orb.config'.

-n, --serverName [name_of_server] : This servername will appear at the bottom of the GUI window on the clients machine. The default value is an empty string.

-D, --noDynStationsFlag : Specified to disable the "dynamic" creation of station entries in the NSI server. If this flag is not specified and the NSI server receives an update for a station that was not in its "stations_info.ini" file, a new "dynamically-created" station entry is created. If this flag is specified then the update is ignored (and a 'debug' log entry is written).

-H, --generalHelpString [help_string] : The General Help String will normally be a URL or some other similar pointer to where the user can find help information at. The default value is an empty string.

-u, --sameStatusSubsets = "subsetName",... : Specifies one or more names of subsets to be tracked for when all of the member stations of any of the possible subsets have the same status level. An empty string specifies that no subsets will be tracked. The default value is an empty string.

-U, --sameStatusPollDelay [seconds] : Specifies the delay to be used between polls of the subsets tracked for having the same status level. The default value is 2 (seconds).

-v, --version : Displays the version information for the program.

--ignoreUnknownFlag : If specified then station detail items with the performance level "Unknown" will be ignored when determining the performance level for the station. This will prevent "Unknown"-performance-level items from hiding "Bad"-performance-level items, but may allow "Unknown"-performance-level items to go unnoticed.

--loadDynParamsFromArchiveFlag : Set 'true' to load dynamic parameters for all stations from the history archive at server startup. The data value for each parameter will be set to the newest value found in the archive. (See also the 'maxDynParamsFromArchiveHours' parameter.) The default setting is 'false'.

--maxDynParamsFromArchiveHours : Sets the maximum-allowed age limit (in hours) for dynamic parameters loaded from the history archive at server startup (when 'loadDynParamsFromArchiveFlag'==true). If the newest dynamic-parameter-history entry is older than this value then the parameter will not be loaded. A setting of zero will result in no age-limit value. The default setting is 24.0 hours. (This may be specified as a floating-point value.)

--stationLevelsCacheHours [hours] : Sets the length of the station-levels cache. Use of this cache allows the server to more quickly respond to launch-stations-snapshot requests from clients. A setting of zero disables the cache. The maximum allowed setting is 32767 hours; the default setting is zero. (This setting may be specified as a floating-point value.)

--archiveDirectoryName [file] : This parameter allows the path to the archive to be specified. If an absolute pathname (starting with '/') is not given then the file is placed in the '[baseDir]' directory. The default location of the archive files is '[baseDir]/history'.

--keepArchiveFilesOpenFlag : Specified to keep archive files open until the archive is closed. The default is to open and close the files each time an item is archived.

--archiveNonVotingParamsFlag : Specified to archive non-voting parameters. The default is to only archive voting parameters.

--archivePollTime [seconds] : Specifies the delay to be used between polls of the archive thread or 0 to use thread interrupts. The default value is 0.

--threadLogIntervalSecs [seconds] If this parameter is greater than zero then a log file of program "thread" information will be generated, with its value specifying the check-and-output interval in seconds. This log file is used for debugging purposes. Its name will be in the form "log/NSIServerThreads_yyyymmdd.log". If this parameter is not specified or is set to zero then the file will not be generated.

--memoryLogIntervalSecs [seconds] : If this parameter is greater than zero then a log file of program memory information will be generated, with its value specifying the check-and-output interval in seconds. This log file is used for debugging purposes. Its name will be in the form "log/NSIServerMemInfo_yyyymmdd.log". If this parameter is not specified or is set to zero then the file will not be generated.

--memoryLogMaxAgeInDays [days] : The maximum age, in days, for the memory-log files enabled by the "memoryLogIntervalMSecs" parameter. Memory-log files older than this value will be automatically deleted; unless the value is zero, in which case the files will never be deleted. If this parameter is not specified then the value will default to 180 days.

--memoryLogSwitchDays [days] : The switch interval, in days, to be used for the memory-log files enabled by the "memoryLogIntervalMSecs" parameter. After the given number of days, the current log file is closed and a new one is started. If this parameter is not specified then the value will default to 30 days.

--useAgentLocationsFlag: If specified the agent locations should be used, otherwise only the locations in the stations file should be used.

--useCriteriaRegExFlag: If specified regular expressions should be used for criteria.

--defaultUsageLevel [level] : The name of the default usage level for stations. If not specified or if set to an empty string then the default usage level for stations will be "Undefined".

--timeStampParamName [name] : The name of the Unix time stamp parameter for dynamic parameters. If not specified or if set to an empty string then the current time will be used.

--sameStatusPercent [percent] : The percentage of stations to be the same for same status subsets. The default is 100 percent.

The NSI.conf file

All the options the user can change on the command line can also be changed in the file 'NSI.conf', except for the option to specify where the file is. The format of the file goes like this: Each item has the format 'name = value'; string values must be enclosed in quotes (""); 'special' characters must be 'quoted' using a backslash (\), including \n \r \t\ \" \#; and comments begin with '#', '//' or are C-style comments.
