This document is designed to be a reference guide for learning how to run the CMS trigger rate monitoring tools (usually referred to as the “RateMon” tools) for new maintainers/developers of the RateMon tools. The code is in a GitLab repository:
- RateMon GitLab repository: https://gitlab.cern.ch/cms-tsg-fog/ratemon
You should be included as a maintainer of this repository, so if you are not currently listed as a maintainer, please ask someone from the RateMon team to add you.
- Current RateMon team: John Lawrence, Kelci Mohrman, Mateusz Zarucki
