It would be great to have a way to see if your site is actively seeing traffic at any given time. Something simple like even just a number like " your site actively receiving - 18". Put this right at the top of the “my ADSB” page.
I know there will be detailed info on this in the “positions” tab, but it still would be nice to see it at the top.
Are you looking for something like this?
If yes, this is tar1090 which shows the current aircraft. But not sure if this does exist for uat978 as well
I do get that on my “978” map. My suggestion was to take what you see in that red box and put it on the main page. Not a big deal and may be somewhat picky, but kinda of handy if all you are doing is trying to see if your site is tracking anything. I
That’s a feature of tar1090 as well in the config. You can enable to see the data on the tab header as well. But you have to keep in mind that this number is not updating if the focus is not on that tab.
That’s a browser feature to suspend non active tabs.
OK. Thanks. …and as far as I can see this is not specific to your site, it is just activity on PiAware. I.E. I am tracking two aircraft on PiAware but neither of them show up in my positions activity. So it is close, but not really what I am looking for. I am looking for a easy notice for activity on my site.
No
tar1090 runs locally on my device and works completely independent from Piaware. I can stop this service and the map on my device is still running.
OK. It would be nice if I could look of track logs of the flights that my site as “seen” for a given time period. The positions tab is suppose to show flights that my site has seen in the past 24 hours but it only shows them for a few hours and then they disappear. Kinda frustrating.
If you need/want a log for a longer time, you will need a script which writes aircraft to a file or database whenever they appear.
There are several solutions for that available
Yes, I have been reading up as much as possible before attempting anything. TomMuc post from 2017 about getting daily email reports is exactly what I want to do, but that post is beyond my skill set. I do not know how to write code. I have compilied Arudino sketches, etc, and I am versed in MS Basic and Excel, so I think if I found something written about emailing dump978 I could make it happen. I just have not found an article that is written at a newbie level that gets in to “how” to make it happen. Thanks for the reply.
Please look at this one. I think it can be adapted to UAT with little skills:
I definitely will thank you very much.
