  NSLS-II ring is equipped with state-of-the art beam position monitors (BPMs) which are indispensable in all aspects of machine studies and operations. Among other data, they can provide, on demand, up to 10 seconds of fast-acquisition (FA) data, sampled at ~10 kHz. Analysis of these data in time, frequency and spatial domains provides valuable insights into orbit stability, locations of residual noise sources, performance of feedback systems, etc. In addition, changes in FA signal spectral features are often the earliest indicators of potential equipment problems. This is why we recently implemented an Input / Output Controller (IOC) software that runs during regular user operation, and, once a minute, acquires 10 second buffers of FA data from 180 BPMs around the ring. These buffers are processed to determine the amplitudes and frequencies of the strongest spectral peaks as well as some other measures of fast beam orbit noise. Processed results can be monitored in real time and are also archived for offline analysis and troubleshooting. In this paper we discuss the implementation of this system and the insights we gained from it over about two years of operations.
