The Modstat Add-On to WebCTRL gathers module status reports from all the controllers beneath the selected location in the tree and parses them. It provides checks for a range of problems including:
- No Communications
- Watchdog Timeouts
- Error Messages
- Program not running
- Low free database, file storage, or memory space
- BACnet comm errors over the last 7 days
- Excessive ARCnet reconfigs
- Ethernet transmit / receive errrors
- No Driver
- No Programs
- Driver Version Mismatch
- Device ID Mismatch
Currently, the ModuleStatus Aspect in the directaccess add-on api only gets the modstat as a string. This add-on is the first to actually parse the modstat into more useful components. We would like to have this parsing incorporated into the add-on api at some point.
While there are more features I would like to add, this seems functional now. It should be useful on a real production system.
Outstanding issues:
- Allow canceling while gathering downloads
- Would like to save counts and check for changes
