Alarm-logger - Kafka connection - shutdown_client #3033
Description
I am looking for advice for the alarm logger (compiled 31 May 2024) - we have a system running as docker containers whereby the alarm-logger encounters an exception (roughly every day). System starts fine, alarms appearing as expected - three topics (Accelerator, Upper, Lower manually configured in Kafka via script with auto.create=false). However after a period of time, the alarm-logger container seems to stop with an exception message (it sometimes seems as though this might coincide with some of our EPICS IOCs restarting, although I have no definitive evidence of this - still investigating). Note - on restarting only the alarm logger, the services appear to catch-up and the alarms appear in the Windows phoebus client as expected.
Sorry to ask, but I have been investigating the configurable parameters for some time without a resolution. Any advice much appreciated.
