v1.5.0 shipped the forwarder module + INI keys but the settings
dialog wasn't extended, so the only way operators could enable
forwarding was hand-editing config.ini. This adds a sixth tab
("SFM Forward") with:
- Forward events to SFM checkbox
- SFM Server URL entry + Test button (GETs /health)
- Forward Interval (sec) spinbox
- Quiescence (sec) spinbox
- Missing-Report Grace spinbox
- HTTP Timeout spinbox
- State File entry + Browse...
Save-time guard: enabling the forwarder without a URL raises a
validation error rather than silently saving a non-functional
config.
Patch release — same on-disk INI schema, no config migration.
When SFM_FORWARD_ENABLED=true and SFM_URL is set, every Blastware
event binary in the ACH watch folder is forwarded to an SFM server's
/db/import/blastware_file endpoint as a multipart POST. The paired
<binary>.TXT ASCII report (which Blastware's ACH writes alongside
each event) is shipped in the same request, letting the SFM server
index the full per-channel stats — PPV, ZC Freq, Time of Peak, Peak
Acceleration / Displacement, Peak Vector Sum + time, sensor
self-check Pass/Fail per channel, and monitor-log timestamps —
without depending on the still-undecoded BW waveform body codec.
New module event_forwarder.py:
- is_event_binary() filename matcher (BW's <P><serial3><stem>.<ext>
scheme; rejects .MLG, .TXT, .log, .ini, .h5, etc.)
- ForwardState (.json file keyed by sha256 — idempotent across
restarts and auto-updates)
- find_pending_events() with quiescence + grace-period guards
- Hand-rolled multipart encoder (stdlib-only)
- forward_event_pair() / forward_pending() — POST loop with
structured per-event outcomes
Wired into series3_watcher.run_watcher() on its own cadence
(SFM_FORWARD_INTERVAL_SECONDS, default 60s) so it doesn't slow the
existing 5-min heartbeat scan.
Default-off: existing 1.4.x deployments keep their old behaviour
after auto-updating until an operator sets SFM_URL +
SFM_FORWARD_ENABLED=true and restarts.
17 unit tests in test_event_forwarder.py cover filename matching,
state idempotency, scan logic (quiescence, grace, max age,
already-forwarded, .TXT pairing), multipart byte shape, and an
end-to-end POST against a tiny stdlib http.server fake.
Bumps version 1.4.4 → 1.5.0 (minor — additive feature, no API break).
Requires SFM server v0.16+ for the paired-.TXT import endpoint.
Auto-updates now configurable (URL, source (gitea or private server), log activity for auto updates.
fix: Update now hardened to prevent installation of corrupt or incorrect .exe files. (security to be hardened in the future)
