[Halld_srcct_analysis] monitoring questions

[Alexander Austregesilo]

Hi Nathaly,

1.) The 'incoming monitoring' system is currently set up to run over 5 
files automatically, but we can easily increase this number. The root 
files are merged and end up in:

/work/halld/data_monitoring/RunPeriod-2021-08/mon_ver01/rootfiles/

I would prefer if you could pull in the new plugins into the master 
branch, but I can also switch the system to use the SRC branch once your 
run starts.


2.) For permanent storage, I would suggest to use /cache/halld because 
the files will be automatically saved to tape. The work disk is not 
really backed up, so the files could be deleted accidentally.

Cheers,

Alex
