Description
The Canadian Light Source PV Monitor provides system status for the 400 IOCs in our EPICS network, and status and location for the 370,000 PV’s hosted by those IOC’s. Keeping the PV monitor up to date on all the PV’s that are new, lost, moved, restarted or multiply served requires rapid scanning of all known PV’s. We present a technique using purely native Python code that scans PV status at a rate of 10 PV’s per second per thread, and some of the benefits that having this information has given us.
