FDSN WS data chooser does not work with virtual networks

[dlnorgaard]

Example: http://service.iris.edu/irisws/virtualnetwork/1/query

Brian: It only lets you chose from a static list of network codes there. If I go into the Swarm.config and enter the virtual network in place of a network code, Swarm doesn't know what to do with it. I tried using the IRIS web services URL as well without success: https://service.iris.edu/irisws/virtualnetwork/1/

Brian: I did try some others with no luck. List is here: http://service.iris.edu/irisws/virtualnetwork/1/codes Thanks for looking. This isn't a priority, just a curiosity since it would make it simpler to monitor IRIS data for our geographic region from various networks at once.

Failing with following error when trying to getNetworkList in WebServicesPanel:

__Error in connection with url: http://service.iris.edu/irisws/virtualnetwork/1/query?net=*&level=network&format=xml&includeavailability=false Error 400: doIrisProcessing - No type defined or unknown query parameter: includeavailability

It appears http://service.iris.edu/irisws/virtualnetwork/1/codes with no parameters should be used to fetch network codes. See http://service.iris.edu/irisws/virtualnetwork/1/. However, doing so still results in below error in seisFile library (StaxUtil.expectStartElement):

Given the difference in the results from http://service.iris.edu/irisws/virtualnetwork/1/codes vs http://service.iris.edu/fdsnws/station/1/query, IRIS virtual networks probably need to be handled differently.

I've opened a ticket with seisFile to inquire about status/plans to support IRIS virtual network (see https://github.com/crotwell/seisFile/issues/9). As of the moment, it does not appear supported per their README (https://github.com/crotwell/seisFile). It is also not listed under data centers supporting FDSN web services (http://www.fdsn.org/webservices/datacenters/).

The interface is goofy, but it seems to work for me. I'm able to click the new data source button, edit the network field to contain _HAWAII, click the OK button and all seems to work as expected. Including persistence across launches.

In my Swarm.config I see:

server=hawaii;wsc:_HAWAII||||3600|1000|http://service.iris.edu/fdsnws/dataselect/1/query|http://service.iris.edu/fdsnws/station/1/query

@dnorgaard-usgs Is the issue only that the selection list is not prepopulated with virtual networks?

[dlnorgaard]

I haven't tried the config route, but in the FDSN WS panel you cannot populate the network list using the virtual network station url.

[tparker-usgs]

You cannot populate the network list, but the combo box is editable. It's happy with just a network code.

[dlnorgaard]

Looks like it's working for Brian as well.

If there ever becomes a need to parse IRIS virtual network URL in future, support for it should be in next seisFile release.

I do not know when I will be able to push out next release, will see if I can find time to do soon.
