Phoebus can use the EPICS Archiver Appliance, which has been deployed as part of the transition to EPICS, to display the history of PVs. However, ISIS data has and continues to be stored in the InfluxDB time series database. To enable access to this data, a Python application to interface between Phoebus and other databases has been developed. Our implementation utilises Quart, an asynchronous web framework, to allow multiple simultaneous data requests. Google Protocol Buffer, natively supported by Phoebus, is used for communication between Phoebus and the database. By employing subclassing, our system can in principle adapt to different databases, allowing flexibility and extensibility. Our open-source approach enhances Phoebus’s capabilities, enabling the community to integrate it within a wider range of applications.
