Hi,
Whenever a system (Drone) goes down or comes up, that status is recorded
in the CMA database. I just added two new fields to capture the time of
the last status change. We already know if it was taken down
gracefully, or crashed.
statustime - UNIX Epoch time in milliseconds
iso8601- even time in ISO 8601 format
Really, I only needed 'statustime'once they add a new feature to Cypher
to be able to retrieve the current time. Then we'll be able to create a
query that directly reports uptime or downtime for a given server.
Until that gets added, displaying the iso8601 time of the last up/down
event is more intuitive than printing the milliseconds since Jan 1, 1970
(EST).
So, I expect the iso8601 field to go away.
It makes me think of other features that could be added - like uptime
history, uptime percentages, etc.
In any case, I just added the code for this feature a bit ago, and it
will get pushed upstream as soon as the test suite completes.
