Monitoring pdev hardware

01jul10

The pdev hardware is queried every two hours and logged to a file. A query is not done if pnet or pnetctl is running on pdevs1 (so it won't interfere with data acquisition).
The queried data includes:

The fan speeds
The FPGAs and printed circuit board temperatures
The voltages.

The most recent hardware query is shown here.

The following plots show the fan speed, temperatures, and voltages for the pdev devices.
Plots are made for:

the last 5 days (updated every 2 hours)
the last 30 days (updated once a day at 4:30 am)
year to date (updated once a day at 4:30 am)

The different pdev boxes are color coded.

+ specifies the boxes with the lowest 7 device numbers,
* specifies the boxes with the highest 7 device numbers
The year to date plots have no symbols (since the file gets too big)

Notes on the plots:

If you see the temperatures dip for awhile (temp1,temp2 60->30 )while the fan speed remains constant:

When the mock spectrometer sees a fan drop below 1000 rpm, it shuts off the fpga.
This causes the temperature to drop
The fan can then speed back up, but the fpga remains off until it is reconfigured.
the slow sampling of the fan speeds don't catch the fan dropout then recovery, only the temperature.
