More controls requirements were developed in March and April. These requirements were specifically focused on EPICS network size, DAQ bandwidth, EPICS archiver size and reliability, as well as the logging systems. High-level requirements are being developed as ConOps are updated/ generated. If there is any particularly important requirement of the control system, or high-level functionality please let Alex Wallace or Jing Yin know.

There have been many incidents where the Experiment Controls and DAQ team is not aware of the available DSS and MON nodes fell into disrepair during a given experimentan experiment and communication about their state as well as a checklist for the required setup was missing.  To provide transparency across the multiple teams, the IT team has created a confluence page that explains the validation methodology and provides a log of the current functional DSS and MON servers.  This will prevent the teams from guessing which nodes are available and allow the IT team to fix those that are not available.  Coming soon, the IT team will deploy a new image with monitoring that will provide alerts so that actions can be taken in a timely manner.
