Self-describe software/hardware versions of various components of the stack in nexus files #32

Open

Description

@Tom-Willemsen

To help future analysis software decide whether a feature was present at the time data was written, various components of the stack should insert their own software and hardware versions as metadata that will eventually make it to Nexus file.

For example:

  • kafka_dae_control should stream it's own version (maybe as part of metadata of RunStart)
  • When kafka_dae_control connects to VXI boards and/or FPGAs it should attempt to pull back some kind of version identifier/build date and stream those as part of a runstart too
  • How do we get this from event_udp_to_kafka and similar programs?
  • Filewriter should self-describe:
    • e.g. /raw_data_1/program_name = <name_of_filewriter>
    • Attach a version attribute to that dataset to describe release/revision/build date etc
  • Maybe something in the forwarder / forwarder-configurer to describe that version number
  • If possible also pull back IBEX server version (unconditionally forward it so it gets included like any other string-type log?)
