Expand Up @@ -15,4 +15,13 @@ An IOC usually posts to this service from the :AC: (alert control) system loaded

To do the alerting it will use `sendAlert.db` from `support/webget`. This combines several PVs with mobiles, emails etc. and encodes into the format required for a http POST using the aSub function `webFormURLEncode`. It then sends this to control-svcs using the aSub function `webPOSTRequest`

To see the debug output of what `sendAlerts.db` is sending set `epicsEnvSet("WEBGET_POST_DEBUG","1")` in the `st.cmd` of the runcontrol IOC. This is suppressed by default as it may contain sensitive user data.

The PVs in IBEX which hold the URL & password for sending alerts are in the form:

```
%MYPVPREFIX%CS:AC:ALERTS:URL:SP
%MYPVPREFIX%CS:AC:ALERTS:PW:SP
```

There is further documentation in the [`RUNCTRL` README file](https://github.com/ISISComputingGroup/EPICS-ioc/blob/master/RUNCTRL/README.md).
