3rd party upload indicator

[gard72]

Hello,

Cumulus1 had a very informative feature that would indicate when an upload to a 3rd party was being invoked. Along the lower edge of the Cumulus1 dashboard was a framed area that would momentarily display, for example, 'Updating PWS' or 'Updating APRS'.

I found this to be quite helpful and re-assuring, that regular interval data was actually being transmitted.

It seems a feature like this would be a nice addition to CumulusMX, perhaps in the 'alarms' section, changing an indicator from green to red during packet transmission.

I certainly hope this request isn't a duplicate. I searched the list and believe I found nothing similar.

Thanks for considering.

Whilst this isn't currently possible, you can set an alarm to trigger if the uploads start failing.

Thanks Mark. I'll give that a try.

It WORKS!!!

Thanks Mark for making this '3rd party upload' change.

I forced a deliberate 'failure test' by changing my PWS login ID to a bogus name. The alarm light came up immediately after the upload attempt.

And now that I give this issue more thought, this is a more logical solution than the upload notification method used in Cumulus1. After all, it's easier seeing when an upload fails than it is tracking every upload success.

In addition, I received an email of the upload error and the reason for failure!

Kudos
