Hi Team,

I'm currently using the cs_user_postprocess_monitors.c file to set up probes and collect their data, as I have a large number of monitors (please see the attached screenshot for reference).

I was wondering if it's possible to use multiple cs_user_postprocess_monitors.c files to generate separate outputs to different Monitoring folders. I tried creating another file named cs_user_postprocess_monitors2.c, and updated the relevant lines to use "Monitoring2" instead of "Monitoring" :
cs_probe_set_t *pset = cs_probe_set_create("Monitoring2");
cs_probe_set_t *pset = cs_probe_set_get("Monitoring2");

However, it doesn’t seem to work at compiling stage. Is there a recommended way to achieve this separation of outputs using multiple monitoring files?

Thanks in advance for your support!

Best regards,

Hello,

You cannot define the same function in multiple files, but you can define multiple probe sets in a single cs_user_postprocess_probes function.

If you have many similar probe sets, I recommend declaring them in a loop rather than copy/pasting the same instructions.

Hi Yvan,

Thanks.

I can use a single cs_user_postprocess_probes function, but the issue is that I want the outputs to be separate files. Since the number of probes is very large, combining all the data into one file results in a huge output, making postprocessing difficult and inefficient.

Hello,

To use different directories, you need to create one writer per directory, using cs_post_define_writer (where you can define a separate directory for each writer) , then use "cs_probe_set_associate_writers" to assign a different writer for each probe set.

In any case, if you really have a huge amount of probes, computing/interpolating values and outputting the results may not be very efficient. In this case, outputting volumic data or doing at least some partial filtering with in-situ postprocessing (possibly using Catalyst) may be a good choice.

Best regards,
