| This section details how to create new filters at the broker level for FASTDB to subscribe to, for all of the LSST brokers where that is available. Once you have created your filter, let Rob know the broker and the topic name to get FASTDB subscribed to it. | ||
|
|
||
| See the section above for the minimum required data that should be sent with the filtered alerts. Additional data that has been added by the broker will be pulled in by FASTDB automatically and stored in the ``diasource_brokerinfo`` table. |

There was a problem hiding this comment.
There's actually two parts to this.
- Additional data beyond the minimum that comes from the original LSST alerts gets stored in the
diasource_extratable. - Anything in the alert that was not from the original LSST alert, i.e. anything the broker added, gets stored in the
diasource_brokerinfotable.
(Aside: there is probably some nuance here. Right now, the two brokers I'm listening to, Pitt-Google and Fink, are sending me alerts that are exactly the LSST alerts, plus additional fields they added. It's possible some brokers will send different formats, which we can handle, but we have to write the code in brokerconsumer.py to adapt.)
