Description
The Error and Alarm system for the data acquisition of the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) at CERN is successfully used for the physics runs at Large Hadron Collider (LHC) during the first three years of activities. Error and alarm processing entails the notification, collection, store and visualization of all exceptional conditions occurring in the highly distributed CMS online system using a uniform scheme. Alerts and reports are shown on-line by web application facilities that map them to graphical models of the system as defined by the user. A persistency service keeps history of all exceptions occurred, allowing subsequent retrieval of user defined time windows of events for later playback or analysis. The paper describes the architecture and the technologies used and deals with operational aspects during the first years of LHC. In particular it focuses on performance, stability and integration with the CMS sub-detectors.
