erskafka README

Configuration

The erskafka plugin is configured through the ERS settings. Users that want make use of it need to set up a work area environment and define/extend the following ERS environment variables as described on this page.

Tell ERS to load the erskafka plugin:

export DUNEDAQ_ERS_STREAM_LIBS=erskafka

Set the partition name. The partition name allows to clearly distinguish the origin of the ERS messages, thus avoiding mixing information from different DAQ instances:

export DUNEDAQ_PARTITION=ChooseYourPartitionName

Extend the ERS variables which define the output streams to be used for Issues of different severities:

export DUNEDAQ_ERS_INFO="erstrace,throttle(30,100),lstdout,erskafka(dqmbroadcast:9092)"
export DUNEDAQ_ERS_WARNING="erstrace,throttle(30,100),lstderr,erskafka(dqmbroadcast:9092)"
export DUNEDAQ_ERS_ERROR="erstrace,throttle(30,100),lstderr,erskafka(dqmbroadcast:9092)"
export DUNEDAQ_ERS_FATAL="erstrace,lstderr,erskafka(dqmbroadcast:9092)"

erskafka is not included in the dunedaq-2.6.0 frozen release, if you are running dunedaq-v2.6.0, modify the build order to add erskafka directly after erses (by default YourWorkarea/sourcecode/dbt-build-order.cmake). Do check that you have access to the kafka library from dune externals (librdkafka v1_7_0 e19:prof) from /cvmfs/dunedaq-development.opensciencegrid.org/products.

Default platform: https://dunedaqreporting.app.cern.ch/ErrorReports
