Team,

It would be nice to have an upload status page of your weather network and ftp, Just like meteobridge has it :D

Nice, yes but useless.

The data uploaded to your webserver consist of different files with different acceptable ages.
clientraw.txt and other realtime files need to be uploaded every minute while the general tag-files can be uploaded every 5 minutes. The graphs with daily data and the windrun graph even can have longer wait times between uploads.
And these times are just an average of what users want them to be.

Than we have the age of the data inside the files.
Even if Meteo* is able to upload there may be no sufficient reception from the weatherstation and only old data is uploaded then.

That is why the checking of FTP and age of data is done at the receiving end.
The templates (you are using Saratoga) have always had a separate page where those upload times and upload contents are checked.
Your status page is http://www.txweather.org/wxstatus.php were you can see that
realtime data (clientraw.txt) has an acceptable age of so many seconds or is overdue.
Same for the other files / data you want to check.

You can set those acceptable times in the settings in that script.
You can change the scripts and add other values of interest the same as I did in my template.

And Saratoga (which you used in a post on another forum about this question) has an even larger status page because there are so many files and data streams Ken True has to monitor.

Wim,

This is not what I am looking for.
I am looking for weather networks.

You do not know if an upload failed or if it went through.

IE: Meteobridge tells you the last update of the weather network and if it was successful.

That is very useful!
