Change History
Initial revision
Compared to the old web interface, developed until 2012,
there are many internal and external differences.
Site customisation: There’s no more html_chunks.py! Instead just create index.html containing the hooks you need. See Customisation.
Modular support for multiple event catalogs.
- The old NEIC service has been removed, and replaced by USGS’s Comcat service.
- EMSC’s service has been added.
- You can upload events from a custom CSV catalog.
Stations/metadata:
- Webinterface caches inventory data from its base Arclink server. This
saves many Arclink requests and gives much better performance.
The update-metadata.sh script is provided as a tool for refreshing locally
downloaded data.
- There is better display of what streams are available for a particular set of stations.
- Selection based on sample rate closest to a specific value is possible.
Request handling:
- Request status is displayed for all data centres which were involved in
handling a request.
- Routing/retrying/refreshing.
This documentation exists.
