Scripts usage
From PhotoVoltaic Logger new generation
Configuration Template
A configuration template for each script is available in the corresponding dist/
directory.
Common parameters
These parameters work with all scripts, for writing data to and reading from PVLng API.
-c, --config Config file [default:script.conf]
The default configuration file name depends on the concrete script file name, so for an update.sh
the default configuration file will be update.conf
-t, --test Test mode, set verbosity to info level [flag]
Gather only the data, make required transformations and display what would be send to the API server. Set also verbosity to level 1.
-v, --verbose Verbosity, use multiple times for higher level [flag]
More information, multiple -v
increase up to level 3, which then also makes cUrl calls verbose.
Scripts for data saving
Data gathering scripts can run on different equipments than the API, e.g. on a Raspberry or so.
-l, --localtime Use local time, rounded to ? seconds [default:0]
If you gather the data with external hardware (e.g. a Raspberry), you can define that the "lokal" time will be used.
You can for example also define, that the timestamp always is rounded to full minute with -l 60
.
-s, --save Save data also into log file [flag]
Save the data also locally, this is helpful if the connection to the API server is not stable. Missing data can loaded later manually.
Initial test
$ ./script.sh -t # Simple test with default configuration, verbose level 1 $ ./script.sh -tvc config.conf # Test with defined configuration, verbose level 2 $ ./script.sh -tvv # Test with verbose level 3 also shows cUrl details
