In this system we have both text and email alarms, with a priority on text. Over the weekend the AirLink device had some problems and did not send any alarms messages out. I was wondering if there was a way to create an alarm that I can send out through the email when there is an error sending sms.
This doesn't seem to be related to Perspective. Remove the tag?
Removed, any ideas on this though?
Ignition's Airlink driver uses UDP to send messages, so it is fire-and-forget. I don't think there's a way to detect that the Airlink isn't listening.
I see that is unfortunate.... Is it possible to have a script read when a logger is created? It shows in the logger when the sms has an error sending out, but I don't see anywhere else where it shows that the sms failed to send
I don't know enough about the Airlink to say more. Consider asking IA support, but I recall prior topics about this not being resolved.
That is fair, thank you for your time!
This is a failing of all the notification profile types, not just Airlink.
They all log errors/failures, but there's no way to actually act on that information.
I have no idea and have never used Airlink or its equivalent, but I'd be surprised if there isn't a log in the device accessible by a browser / HTTP request. Have a look for that and see if there's any way to retrieve that information and parse it for your purposes. You don't want all the HTML stuff - you only want the data so see if it makes an AJAX request or something similar that you can call in a script.
