1Short description of Evidence control system
2
3This directory contains the backbone of the control system.
4
5Config is the configuration server and needs to run before any other DIM
6server that requests configuration information is started (if a configuration
7request cannot be answered, a server will normally not start). A configuration
8file can be given on the command line.
9
10DColl is the central data collector. It subscribes to all services handled by
11the name server and writes them to disk (except those excluded in the
12configuration file). It also provides a history service for all DIM services
13and a command for logging.
14
15Alarm can be configured to check all servers for availability and status and
16can produce a master alarm.
17
18The DIMDIR environment variable needs to point to the DIM installation directory
19when compiling. DIM_DNS_NODE must point to the name server for any DIM server
20to run.

24Version history
25---------------
26
2719/5/2010 Service histories now available via DimRpc from DColl, not via .hist service
28 When regular expression compiling results in error, State is set to ERROR, not
29 FATAL. The erroneous expression is ignored in the following.
3025/5/2010 Service history remains available if service itself become unavailable. If not
31 yet in memory, reading from history file is tried. Improved error handling of
32 history files.
