Site Alerts

There are certain types of errors or misconfigurations that aren't important enough to send email about, but are still worth surfacing. Examples might be:

• a Senix receiver has two different sample intervals set (usually we want them to be the same)
• a Senix transmitter is connected to a different receiver than it usually is (if we ever have receivers with overlapping ranges)
• we suddenly see a lot of similar-looking 404 requests

It might be nice to have a way for the server processes to put up alerts that are visible to admins to notify them about this kind of issue.

Gage/Receiver reliability tracking

We know how often a given gage should be reporting data, so we could do some work to report on what percentage of data points are missing for a given gage. We can also correlate that info across receivers to find out if a given receiver is possibly less reliable than others.

Miscellaneous

Small bits of work we could consider doing:

• Since the server no longer generates 404s, the client could detect malformed request URLs and report them. This still wouldn't catch external sites trying random URLs from an automated tool; we could possibly find a server-side way to log URLs that don't match expected patterns on our end, maybe?
• Should we record the temperature readings that sensors are sending?
• We could chart battery level to get a better idea of how to represent battery percentages, and to better predict battery life.
