Omicron triggers are produced continuously with dedicated online processes (see the [detchar processes in vpm](https://vpm.virgo.infn.it:40000/main.html?subsystem=DetChar)). Hundreds of channels are processed and triggers are saved to disk. These triggers can be used by anybody for glitch investigations.
Triggers are saved in ROOT files following the `GWOLLUM` convention for triggers. Trigger files can be found in:

During O3, new trigger files could be found in:
```
/data/omicron/V1
```
*This path is likely going to change for the pre-O4 commissioning and the O4 data taking.*
For most cases, the trigger file location and/or format is irrelevant as Omicron triggers can be accessed automatically by [omicron programs](home#programs). This will only work if the environment variable `OMICRON_TRIGGERS` is correctly set:
```
$ echo $OMICRON_TRIGGERS
/data/omicron
```
Following a reorganization of the storage area at Cascina, the Omicron trigger file location is currently (O3) only accessible from online machines: `detchar1` or the `ctrl` machines but not the `farmn` machines. Moreover, O3a triggers have been moved to `/data/prod/omicron/V1` (offline storage area). To access triggers automatically, the `OMICRON_TRIGGERS` must be redefined:

If you get the error "No trigger files", look at the [faq](FAQ).
