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 file is tried. Improved error handling of
32 history files.
3328/5/2010 Changed name of 'State' service to 'Message' to better reflect its functionality.
34 Added client information to log file entries.
3530/5/2010 Created Bridge server that repeats services from one DNS to another.
36 Service quality now also written to slow data file.
3731/5/2010 Configuration file format follows semi-standard INI format.
387/6/2010 Separated History service from DColl. History format changed, now includes
39 service format (allows history access also when service is unavailable).
4011/6/2010 Bridge does not forward history service
4117/6/2010 Added SendToLog() method. Changed severity encoding of Message service to
42 use standard DIM structure of format "I:1;C"
