Description

The CLS runs approximately 1000 EPICS IOC applications on 400 hosts. Our goal is a single screen summarizing the real-time status of every IOC application. However, it is difficult to identify individual IOC applications based on their beacons. This talk summarizes the difficulties encountered in achieving our goal and describes a technique to map EPICS beacons to legacy IOC applications to facilitate monitoring without modifying code or even restarting them.
