GUI framework and database for ATLAS ITk system tests — •Jonas Schmeing, Gerhard Brandt, Wolfgang Wagner, Marvin Geyik, and Maren Stratmann — Bergische Universtität Wuppertal

For the LHC Phase-2 upgrade, a new inner tracker (ITk) will be installed in the ATLAS experiment. It will allow for even higher data rates and will be thoroughly tested in the ATLAS ITk system tests. To operate these tests and later the final detector, a GUI and configuration system is needed. For this a flexible and scalable GUI framework based on distributed microservices has been introduced. Each microservice consists of a frontend GUI, a server running the python application, and a system-level backend.

The frontend GUI is a single-page application built with the React JavaScript library. The API for RESTful HTTP communication between the frontend and the Python app is defined via an OpenAPI specification. The Python app is the central part of each microservice. It connects to the microservices backend, such as a database or various DAQ applications. The OpenAPI and Python interfaces facilitate the maintainability and long-term upgradability of the system.

With this microservice framework, it is possible to serve specialized applications for different purposes: e.g., an API to access the data acquisition software or services to configure and monitor different hardware components. The system additionally includes multiple interfaces to a database used for storing configuration and connectivity data, data about the executed runs and their results.
