EIDA Consistency Checker

---

A tool to evaluate the consistency between EIDA nodes' availability and dataselect web services.
Designed for use in quality control and monitoring tasks across the European Integrated Data Archive (EIDA).

---

🚀 Installation & Quick Start

You can use eida-consistency in two ways:

Option 1: Using uvx

uvx eida-consistency <command> [options]

Option 2: Global install

uv tool install eida-consistency

Now it’s available globally:

eida-consistency <command> [options]

Update it with:

uv tool upgrade eida-consistency

🔍 CLI Commands

Run Consistency Check

Check if availability spans align with dataselect results:

uvx eida-consistency consistency --node RESIF --epochs 10 --duration 600
# OR check 5% of available stations:
uvx eida-consistency consistency --node RESIF --epochs "5%"

Options:

• --node: Node code (e.g. RESIF, NOA, ETH)
• --epochs: Number of random test epochs (default: 10) OR percentage (e.g., "5%", 0.05)
• --duration: Epoch length in seconds (≥600)
• --seed: Reproducible seed
• --delete-old: Keep only the most recent report
• --stdout: Print JSON report to stdout
• --report-dir: Save reports to a custom folder (default: reports/)
• --log-level: Control verbosity (DEBUG, INFO, WARNING, ERROR)

Compare Reports

Compare results across two runs with the same seed:

uvx eida-consistency compare reports/resif_run1.json reports/resif_run2.json

Explore Inconsistencies

Drill down into inconsistencies with day-by-day exploration:

uvx eida-consistency explore reports/nodes/noa/*.json --index 7 --days 15 --verbose

You can also use:

uvx eida-consistency explore --latest

to automatically use the newest report.

Manage Node List

Reload routing cache:

uvx eida-consistency reload-nodes

List currently cached nodes:

uvx eida-consistency list-nodes

---

📂 Reports

Reports are stored in ./reports/ by default, or in a custom folder using --report-dir.

• JSON reports: reports/resif_<seed>.json
• Markdown reports: reports/resif_<seed>.md
• Global summary: summary.md

---

📚 Library Usage

You can also use eida-consistency as a Python library to run checks programmatically or build custom tools.

Check a Single Candidate

from eida_consistency.core.checker import check_candidate

# Define a candidate (network, station, channel, starttime)
candidate = {
    "network": "GR",
    "station": "ATH",
    "channel": "BHZ",
    "starttime": "2023-01-01T00:00:00",
}

# Run the check
results, stats = check_candidate(
    base_url="http://node.eida.eu/fdsnws",
    candidate=candidate,
    epochs=5,
    duration=600
)

for res in results:
    url, available, start, end, loc, span = res
    print(f"Time: {start} -> Available: {available}")

Run a Full Consistency Check

from eida_consistency.runner import run_consistency_check

# Run check for a specific node and get the report path
report_path = run_consistency_check(
    node="NOA",
    epochs=10,
    duration=600
)
print(f"Report generated at: {report_path}")

🧪 Example Workflow

1. Run a check for NOA:

uvx eida-consistency consistency --seed 1234 --node NOA --epochs 20 --duration 600 --report-dir reports/test_noa

2. Explore incosistencies:

If inconsistencies are found:

uvx eida-consistency explore reports/nodes/resif/*.json --verbose

3. Apply fixes

Investigate the reported service inconsistencies and fix them at node level. Maybe use dmtri command suggested.

4. Re-run Consistency

uvx eida-consistency consistency --seed 1234 --node NOA --epochs 20 --duration 600 --report-dir reports/test_noa

5.Compare Before/After

uv run eida-consistency compare reports/test_noa/old.json reports/test_noa/new.json
