Event log preserving the history of updates.
Running SeisComP3 causes many database accesses for writing. Anytime a new event has been created a new row will be inserted in the database table. When the same event is updated the row in the database table is going to be changed as well. The information about the history of the event is lost because the database contains only the current event attributes. scevtlog saves the event history into files. While scevtlog is running it keeps the track of all event updates and stores this information in a directory that can be analyzed at anytime. The stored information is written as plain text in an easily readable format. Additionally scevtlog maintains an event summary file for an overview of the event history.
scevtlog inherits global options.
Type: string
Specify the output directory. Within this directory the logging directory structure and the event files are stored.
Type: string
Specify output event format (default is autoloc3). For completeness it is recommended to switch to xml as storage format. The autoloc3 format can be easily reconstructed with scbulletin but not the other way around. Default is autoloc3.
show help message.
show version information
Use alternative configuration file. When this option is used the loading of all stages is disabled. Only the given configuration file is parsed and used. To use another name for the configuration create a symbolic link of the application or copy it, eg scautopick -> scautopick2.
Load given plugins.
Run as daemon. This means the application will fork itself and doesn't need to be started with &.
Enable/disable self-shutdown because a master module shutdown. This only works when messaging is enabled and the master module sends a shutdown message (enabled with --start-stop-msg for the master module).
Sets the name of the master-module used for auto-shutdown. This is the application name of the module actually started. If symlinks are used then it is the name of the symlinked application.
Sets the name of the master-username of the messaging used for auto-shutdown. If "shutdown-master-module" is given as well this parameter is ignored.
Verbosity level [0..4]. 0:quiet, 1:error, 2:warning, 3:info, 4:debug
Increase verbosity level (may be repeated, eg. -vv)
Quiet mode: no logging output
Limits the logging to a certain component. This option can be given more than once.
Use syslog logging back end. The output usually goes to /var/lib/messages.
Path to lock file.
Send log output to stdout.
Debug mode: --verbosity=4 --console
Use alternative log file.
Overrides configuration parameter connection.username.
Overrides configuration parameter connection.server.
Overrides configuration parameter connection.timeout.
Overrides configuration parameter connection.primaryGroup.
A group to subscribe to. This option can be given more than once.
Overrides configuration parameter connection.encoding.
Sets sending of a start- and a stop message.
List all supported database drivers.
The database connection string, format: service://user:pwd@host/database. "service" is the name of the database driver which can be queried with "--db-driver-list".
The configmodule to use.
Load the inventory database from a given XML file.
Do not use the database at all
