ISI BS ST2 Watchdog Tripped During Acqusition

It tripped when we reached the RESONANCE state in ISC_LOCK. This trip happened later in the reacquisition from what we have seen in the past.

I also found SEI_DIFF stalled in the DOWN state, I'm a bit confused how it got there, but I'll look into it later.

"I also found SEI_DIFF stalled in the DOWN state, I'm a bit confused how it got there, but I'll look into it later."

Could it have anything to do with me hitting the big red button? On a related note, SEI_CONF would not let me switch from WINDY to EARTH_QUAKE for the second earthquake from Canada last night.

Because SEI_CONF is now managed by SEI_ENV, I don't know if you can change SEI_CONF manually like we did in the past. Probably the proper way to force the earthquake controls on is to move SEI_ENV (the manager node) to EARTHQUAKE, not SEI_CONF (the subordinate node). This is something that hasn't been communicated clearly since we started the earthquake automation. This maybe also affects the function of the big red button, I haven't checked, but Patrick's earlier alog made it sound like we didn't trip too many platforms.

Looking at the trends for the second earthquake last night, there is some strange behavior from SEI_ENV. See attached image, SEI_ENV is top left, peakmon is top right, SEI_CONF is bottom left. Before the earthquake, the guardian is rapidly switching between the SEISMON_ALERT state and the CALM state. Peakmon crosses the 400 nm/s threshold to transition SEI_CONF to EARTHQUAKE from SEISMON_ALERT, but SEI_ENV doesn't do that in a normal way. Eventually, SEI_ENV tries to go to EARTHQUAKE, but is again switching rapidly between EARTHQUAKE and CALM, but well after peakmon crosses 1000 nm/s, which is the threshold that we use for the "ground only" test in SEI_ENV. Even then, SEI_CONF never goes to EARTHQUAKE in an normal way. Not sure what is going on, this all seems very wrong.

The SEI_ENV log is filled with a bunch of loops of this:

2020-03-09_06:40:00.638948Z SEI_ENV [CALM.enter]

2020-03-09_06:40:00.889582Z SEI_ENV [CALM.enter]

I can't find where it must have been doing the same with the SEISMON_ALERT state, must be too many pages back in the log.

None of this should affect the cps diff, but the ISI trips may have been related. The SEI_DIFF guardian turns off the cps diff if any ISIs trip or if the chamber guardian isn't nominal, maybe that caused a problem and crashed the node?
