Handover notes

Please use this page to write up any notes on anything that needs to be passed on to the next observer or should go into the end of experiment message.

Notes should be placed below the horizontal line as a new blog entry.

Continuing problems should be copied to the Current Issues page.

**Template for Handover notes:**

Be sure to add any specific notes about the experiment if required, for example “Special back end configuration for x reason”. Put as much detail as you can - the more the better.

It is ESSENTIAL to put your name after EVERY entry. Copy and paste the template into the new handover notes

  • 17:30UT - Experiment started OK (Patrick)
  • 19:40UT - pcfsyg disk filled up. Deleted open monica log to free up space. (Patrick)
  • 22:30 UT Patrick discovered the Monica log file /usr2/oMlog oMonica.log was writing flat out at 20 GB per hour. This was due to constant errors logging that Monica couldn't connect to weather on localhost port 5000. A restart of Monica server on pcfsyg fixed the problem (Warren and Patrick)

  • 1730UT Experiment started late. Bad Mark5B module. Originally thought it was the Mark5B itself going bad but got Peter to replace module and it worked (Lucas).
  • First scan 0403-132 at 17:33 UT
  • pcfsyg disk got 100% full. Had to delete monica points from 2011,2012,2013 and 2014. Freed up 30G of space. Need more permanent solution (Lucas)
  • 03:50 recorded data 104 GB less than scheduled (warren)
  • 13:00 UT - pcfsyg disk 100% full. Deleted some lines from the Monica log file (oMonica.log) eventually to free up some disk space. I don't think this will solve the problem completely though, as the log file appears to be growing very quickly. (Patrick)
  • 22:30 UT Patrick discovered oMonica.log out of control writing 20 GB per hour due to Monica error connecting to weather on localhost:50001 A restart of Monica server on pcfsyg fixed this.(Warren and Patrick)
