Event Execution Delay Measurement Script discussion

[Pete]

Updating to updated virtual graphing this morning.

Greg, so you are removing the assigned delay variable from your script?

Side note: Noticed yesterday that I lost one Atom based touchscreen power supply. Swapped it out with a hot spare late yesterday. That said; I did have an HSTouch error and it appears to be related to the ancillary speaker client running on the touch screen. While it caused no delays it did log HSTouch errors first thing this morning with first outside events that utilize TTS.

I was running speaker dot exe V.49 and not most current V.58 of the speaker client. I had previously thought that the speaker client wasn't touching the HSTouch server running on the HS box.

Updated VDG at 0745c. Enabled session average. Deleted variable to start new graph.

How are you doing there Greg weatherwise?

I see Tropical storm Leslie starting to move in some.

V1.08 is posted.
No Pete, I havent removed the device, but made it an option as well as the internal call to Jon00VDGraphing.

You will note that I've changed the file name of the script. Events should be updated accordingly.
There are also a number of new options. Everything is described in the document included.

Pete: We had the worst of the weather over the weekend. Today is warm and partly cloudy with the wind currently from the SouthWest. A nice day to get off this computer and go outside.

[Pete]

Its like fall here but supposed to be 85 F today. That said though working on outside deck some outside today; sanding some small spots / restaining - still doing electrical in the house.

Installed your script 0902C; keep the old name for now. Does it matter which one runs first in the event? Jon's VDG / your event execution delay script or vice versa?

LOL.. looks like me and Pete are updating things at the same time.. I did change my event script name :P Im a good boy!!

Running Jon00s latest VDgraphing and the new delay script.. still looking good here.. and I have been messing with HS most of the day so its holding up well.

Wadenut:

Is it possible to force a carridge return after "seconds" in this line of the script?

DVString = cStr(DelayTime) & " seconds  [Delta: " & cStr(Int((DelayTime-LastTime)*1000)/1000) & " Min: " & cStr(DlyMin) & " Max: " & cStr(DlyMax) & "]"

Its messing up my formatting of the status page

Thanks, TrOjAn

In effect you have three optional configurations.

1. Use the script by itself (defining only TrackDV) and optionally call Jon00VDGraphing separately afterward.

2. Configure GraphDV within the script (and not TrackDV) and have it update the graph itself with no sepatate call to Jon00VDGraphing necessary. In this case, delete the old graph and tracking device.

3. Define Both. This way you can have two separate graphs. One updating each time the script runs (GraphDV) and the other on a delay as before.

[Pete]

Greg,

Being a PITA here. Can you post your script dim statements and your VDG graphing INI section for same said data for two graphs?

Mine is currently:

' Configuration
Dim TrackDV As String = "Y99" ' Tracking Device. Optional. Virtual device to contain result data. Use an empty string to ignore.
Dim GraphDV As String = "Y98" ' Tracking Graph. Optional. If using Jon00VDGraphing, this will record data directly to the defined graph. Use an empty string to ignore.
Dim GraphNumber As String = "30" ' Graph Number within Jon00VDGraphing.ini to be used. No effect if GraphDV is not used.
Dim TriggerMinute As Double = 1 ' Frequency to run in minutes. Recurring event must have the same frequency, and be referenced to the hour.
Dim LogWarning As Double = 10.000 ' Delay in seconds for logged warning. Set =0 to disable
Dim LogSamples As Integer = 1 ' Number of delayed samples in excess of any LogWarning level to take action. No effect if Logwarning = 0
Dim SpeakWarning As Double = 0 ' Delay in seconds for spoken warning. Set =0 to disable
Dim SpeakSamples As Integer = 5 ' Number of delayed samples in excess of SpeakWarning level to take action. No effect if SpeakWarning = 0
Dim Reboot As Double = 0 ' Delay in seconds for last resort force system restart. Set = 0 to disable
Dim RebootSamples = 5 ' Number of delayed samples in excess of Reboot level to take action. No effect if Reboot = 0
Dim SpeakMessage As String = "Homeseer event execution is seriously delayed. Immediate intervention may be required." ' Change this string to suit.
' End Config

+1 here.. Im starting to get lost in what Im meant to be running LOL

Sure:
' Configuration
Dim TrackDV As String = "S7" ' Tracking Device. Optional. Virtual device to contain result data. Use an empty string to ignore.
Dim GraphDV As String = "S8" ' Tracking Graph. Optional. If using Jon00VDGraphing, this will record data directly to the defined graph. Use an empty string to ignore.
Dim GraphNumber As String = "30" ' Graph Number within Jon00VDGraphing.ini to be used. No effect if GraphDV is not used.
Dim TriggerMinute As Double = 1 ' Frequency to run in minutes. Recurring event must have the same frequency, and be referenced to the hour.
Dim LogWarning As Double = 1.000 ' Delay in seconds for logged warning. Set =0 to disable
Dim LogSamples As Integer = 1 ' Number of delayed samples in excess of any LogWarning level to take action. No effect if Logwarning = 0
Dim SpeakWarning As Double = 0 ' Delay in seconds for spoken warning. Set =0 to disable
Dim SpeakSamples As Integer = 5 ' Number of delayed samples in excess of SpeakWarning level to take action. No effect if SpeakWarning = 0
Dim Reboot As Double = 0 ' Delay in seconds for last resort force system restart. Set = 0 to disable

Dim SpeakMessage As String = "Homeseer event execution is seriously delayed. Immediate intervention may be required." ' Change this string to suit.

------------------------
This is my original graph. It uses a 5 sample delay to provide 24 hours of data.

------------------------------------
This is the result. Keep in mind I'll eventually disable the original device and graph (2nd graph), and go with the new graph with a DelayCount = 5 so I will still have 24 hours there.

And in looking at that I've just noticed a small potential problem if only GraphDV is enabled. Don't panic, it may be nothing. I thought I'd tested this but may have missed it.

[Pete]

Thank you Greg!

Yeah noticed that my graph number is configured graph #1 and have only one ini section in the VDG script set up. I will set up a #2 graph within the INI section of Jon's VDG script INI file.

[Wadenut]

The aforementioned bug is fixed with v1.08.01.
A description of the bug, and the fix is located in that thread and also in the revision history file included in the ZIP.
That's what I get for working with a single cup of morning Java.

Unless further bugs are noticed or more functionality is needed (can't imagine this), this should be the final version.

[Pete]

Installed. Reminded me to make tomorrows java.

Shut down and restarted HS. I did rename it the old name as previous version anyways.
