Well, we did, but as my old friend Hollerith said “it’s time to move on, son . . . ‘REM’ is the future for us”. (It is possible that I made that up . . . )
Just tossing in a thought, but perhaps you might want to make the observation types or events you save configurable on/off.
Also, why would you want to keep rapid_wind since it seems that the obs_sky every minute observation set wind gust to the max measurement rapid_wind measures during that 1-minute interval already…
Although sure a realtime display showing the needle bouncing is fun for sure…
There will come a time when rapid_wind data may need to be purged. It’s on the list of items I need to handle. This set of applications has grown and is getting very complicated. I am adding new features every week.
I just completed an install script that now does the entire install. I have spent hours testing and debugging and I still think there may be issues. It takes an hour to run a full test as I do a fresh install of the OS on the RPi.
Now the the install script is online, I will continue work on the internal web server for WFArchive. There is so much that I need to add:
viewing and purging log and error files
viewing what Alerts have been sent
resetting IO Alerts on the RPi
exporting data from tables
running a query on a table
checking the status of the Applications
Currently all the web page allows is editing the config.json file and restarting the applications.
If anyone is ready to install this please do so. I am here if there are any issues.
will do once my internet is back, running via my phone for now. 50 km away heavy works have simply blown up a node from the DSL provider … no ETA given for now …
Having archived data is nice but not useful if it can’t maintained and monitored. There has to be an easy way to keep the system updated and ensure it’s working.
Maybe a way for automatic updates when firmware gets updated. I’m still thinking.
