Module Status Element

The module status is essentially a heartbeat. Each module typically sends a heartbeat message every 5 seconds. For each module, assuming a heartbeat has been received, a status element will be added to the status report. If a status element is not present, then either the heartbeat has been delayed or the module has gone offline.

Module Status Attributes

Optional attributes are formatted in italics and highlighted with an asterisk.

Radar Health Element

The radar health element provides specific health details for each sensor in the system. If a radar is active and connected then the Witness system will receive regular health updates. The latest health report for each radar is added to the status report. If a recent health update has not been received for any of the radar then there will be no element for that radar.

ModuleStatusList



If the module or radar has been reported as being online, then if the system loses the connection to that application or device the status will change to reflect that. Typically, the application or device will change status from Online -> Warning -> Offline.

If a module or radar is removed from the list, then this would indicate the device has been shut down intentionally (i.e. a user stops a Bloodhound service) and should not be a cause for concern. In this situation the health will stop being reported for the removed device.

There is no status to indicate that any of the values contained within the health data are outside expected parameters. This checking should be performed by the 3rd party based on suitable criteria for their own application. 

Be aware that radar health can only be reported if the tracker is active. If a tracker goes offline, then no radar health will be reported for that tracker. 

Trackers and their attached radar will always share the same Id (i.e. tracker ID:1 will be connected to radar ID:1). 

In situations where Witness is being used with recorded or simulated data then do not expect to receive radar health updates.

System Profile Status Element

The system status element shows which system profile is currently active. The Id is the UserId of the profile and the name is also included to make the data more readable.

System Profile Status Attributes

Attribute

Area Summary Element

The area summary element contains a list of Area Status elements. Each status element contains details on the area, including the user Id, name current state.

Area Status Element

Attribute

Description

Type

Type

The type of area. These map to the area types in Witness:

  • General

  • Detection

  • Exclusion

  • Camera

  • Alarm

  • Static Target Detection

AreaTypeList

 

Name

String

 

AreaId

Enabled

The current state of the area. Depending on the type of area, the state has different implications. For example, disabling an Alarm area means it cannot be used inside rules. If a Detection areas is disabled it means the tracker will not generate tracks in that area. Disabling an exclusion area will stop it excluding data from the tracker allowing it to generate tracks
