The installation contains various modules for data acquisition, data archiving, processing, distribution and much more. To control all these module and to update their configuration the central program seiscomp is used. This is a Python script and it is installed in bin/seiscomp.
The entire management framework is built upon Python which is portable to different platforms. To make seiscomp work, ensure that Python is installed on your system.
seiscomp can be called from anywhere in the file system and will source the environment of its installation automatically. So it is possible to control different installations.
To get an overview of all available commands, issue
/path/to/seiscomp3/bin/seiscomp help
This will print all commands. To get help for a particular command, append it to the help command.
/path/to/seiscomp3/bin/seiscomp help [command]
setup
Warning
Setup might overwrite previous settings with default values.
Initializes the configuration of all available modules. Each module implements its own setup handler which is called at this point. The initialization takes the installation directory into account and should be repeated when copying the system to another directory.
install-deps [packages]
Installs 3rd party packages on which SeisComP3 depends such as MySQL. This is currently only supported for major Linux distributions. A list of packages needs to be given.
Packages: base, mysql-server, postgresql-server
Install only base system dependencies
seiscomp install-deps baseInstall base system dependencies and MYSQL server
seiscomp install-deps mysql-serverInstall base system dependencies and PostgreSQL server
seiscomp install-deps postgresql-server
update-config [module list]
Updates the configuration. Modules should be able to read the configuration files in etc directly, but some modules such as Seedlink need an additional step to convert the configuration to their native format. Futhermore all trunk station bindings and the inventory need to be sychronized with the database. If no module list is given, update-config is called for all available modules. Otherwise only the modules passed are updated.
shell
Starts the interactive SeisComP shell, an approach to make configuration and manipulation of bindings more easy.
enable [module list]
Enables a module to be started and checked automatically when either start or check is called without arguments. This creates a file etc/init/[module].auto for each module passed.
disable [module list]
The opposite of enable. Removes the file etc/init/[module].auto for each module passed.
start [module-list]
Starts all modules in [module-list]. If no module is named, all enabled modules are started.
stop [module-list]
Stops all modules in [module-list]. If no module name is given, all running modules are stopped.
restart [module-list]
Restarts all the given modules. If no module is passed, all running and enabled modules are first stopped and then restarted.
check [module-list]
Checks if all passed modules are still running if they have been started. If no modules are listed, all modules are checked.
status [module-list]
Prints the status of some or all modules.
list modules|aliases|enabled|disabled
exec [cmd]
alias create|remove new-name name
print crontab|env
help [command]
The SeisComP shell can be started with
user@host:~$ seiscomp3/bin/seiscomp shell
which will open a command prompt. The shell is a helper to manage module station bindings. Instead of manipulating hundreds of files using difficult commands such as sed in Bash scripts, shell can be used. It supports:
================================================================================
SeisComP shell
================================================================================
Welcome to the SeisComP interactive shell. You can get help about
available commands with 'help'. 'exit' leaves the shell.
$
Enter help to get a list of supported commands. The results of all commands issued are written to disk immediately and not buffered.
Assigning the scautopick global profile to all GE stations
$ set profile scautopick global GE.*
Replace all profiles with station configuration for scautopick from GE network
$ remove profile scautopick global GE.*

This helps to see immediately in which file a certain parameter is defined and what module the station is bound to.
All module init scripts are placed in etc/init. seiscomp loads all .py files and tries to find a class called Module. This class is then instantiated with the environment object passed as only parameter to the constructor. If no error occurred then the module is registered.
The name of the init script is ignored and not used furthermore. Only the name in the Module object is important. It is important to note that only one module can be placed in one init script.
The Module class must implement the interface used by seiscomp. See seiscomp3.Kernel.Module for more details.
A simple default implementation looks like this which is available as a template and can be used directly by using the same name as the module's name. The modules name in this template is derived from the filename, but this isn't a general rule as stated before.
import seiscomp3.Kernel
class Module(seiscomp3.Kernel.Module):
def __init__(self, env):
seiscomp3.Kernel.Module.__init__(self, env, env.moduleName(__file__))
SeisComP3 provides a Python module (seiscomp3.Kernel) that allows to write init scripts in an easy way.
The SeisComP3 setup kernel module provides interfaces to write init handlers for modules used by seiscomp in Python.
| Parameters: |
|
|---|
The module interface which implementes the basic default operations. Each script can define its own handlers to customize the behaviour.
| Return type: | Boolean |
|---|
Checks if a module is running. The default implementation returns True if the lockfile if not locked.
| Return type: | Integer |
|---|
Starts a module and returns 0 if no error occured and 1 otherwise. This method is called from seiscomp start.
| Return type: | Integer |
|---|
Stops a module and returns 0 if no error occured and 1 otherwise. This method is called from seiscomp stop.
| Return type: | Integer |
|---|
Check is the same as start. The decision whether to check a module or not is made seiscomp which check the existence of the corresponding run file. Returns 1 is case of error, 0 otherwise.
| Parameters: | shouldRun -- Boolean parameter that indicates if the module should run or not. This is evaluated by seiscomp. |
|---|
Prints the status of the module to stdout. Either is CSV format or as free text. This depends on self.env._csv. The default implementations calls
self.env.logStatus(self.name, self, self.isRunning(), shouldRun,\
self.env.isModuleEnabled(self.name) or \
isinstance(self, CoreModule))
Updates the configuration and bindings based on the module's .cfg files and etc/key/[modname]. A trunk module does not need to do anything here. Stand-alone modules need to implement this method to convert the configuration to their native format.
This is called from seiscomp update-config.
Prints crontab entries to stdout. The default implementation does not print anything.
This is called from seiscomp print crontab.
The core module interface. A core module is a normal module but is started before all modules and stopped afterwards. Core modules are always enabled and will be started with seiscomp start unless a CoreModule implementation applies additional checks in Module.start().
scmaster is a core module which is a requirement for all trunk modules.
Access to the setup environment.
