IRISMustangMetrics (version 2.4.7)

getGeneralValueMetrics: Retrieve measurements from the MUSTANG BSS

Description

The getGeneralValueMetrics method of the IrisClient makes a request of the MUSTANG database and returns a dataframe containing metrics measurments.

Usage

getGeneralValueMetrics(obj, network, station, location, channel, 
                           starttime, endtime, metricName, ...)

Value

A dataframe with the following columns:

~metricName~, value, additional values,  snclq, starttime, endtime, loadtime

The loadtime column contains the time at which this record was loaded into the database.

The dataframe rows will be sorted by metricName and increasing starttime.

Arguments

obj

an IrisClient object

network

a character string with the two letter seismic network code

station

a character string with the station code

location

a character string with the location code, can be "" for wildcard all

channel

a character string with the three letter channel code, can be "" for wildcard all

starttime

a POSIXct class specifying the starttime (GMT)

endtime

a POSIXct class specifying the endtime (GMT)

metricName

a character string containing one or more comma separated metric names

...

optional arguments constraint a character string containing value constraints url optional url of the MUSTANG measurements service

Details

A blank location code should be specified as location="--"; Using location="" will return all location codes.

The default MUSTANG measurement service when url is not specified is:

https://service.earthscope.org/mustang/measurements/1/query?

Data returned from MUSTANG are converted into an R dataframe.

The optional constraint parameter is used to add constraints to the query as defined in the MUSTANG measurements web service documentation. Any string passed in with the constraint parameter will be appended to the request url following an ampersand.

Error returns from the BSS will stop evaluation and generate an error message.

Examples

  if (FALSE) {
# Open a connection to EarthScope webservices (including the BSS)
iris <- new("IrisClient", debug=TRUE)

starttime <- as.POSIXct("2016-08-01", tz="GMT")
endtime <- starttime + 30*24*3600
metricName <- "sample_max"

# Get the measurement dataframe
juneStats <- getGeneralValueMetrics(iris,"IU","ANMO","","BH[12Z]",
                                        starttime,endtime,metricName)

print(juneStats)
