# Series 4 Ingest Agent
**Version:** 0.1.3
Micromate (Series 4) ingest agent for Seismo Fleet Manager (SFM).
## Overview
Series 4 Ingest Agent is a Python-based monitoring tool that scans for Micromate unit activity logs and reports their status. It monitors MLG (Micromate Log) files in the THORDATA directory structure, determines unit health based on last activity, and optionally transmits heartbeat data to a Seismo Fleet Manager backend.
## Features
- **Automatic MLG File Discovery**: Scans `C:\THORDATA\<Project>\<UM####>\*.MLG` for Micromate units
- **Intelligent Unit Tracking**: Automatically identifies the newest MLG file per unit based on timestamp
- **Status Classification**: Categorizes units as OK, LATE, or STALE based on configurable age thresholds
- **Console Heartbeat Display**: Real-time status dashboard with formatted output
- **SFM Backend Integration**: Optional HTTP POST of JSON telemetry to Fleet Manager
- **External Configuration**: JSON-based configuration file for easy customization
- **Robust Error Handling**: Graceful degradation with informative warnings
- **No External Dependencies**: Uses Python standard library only (urllib, json, datetime, etc.)
## Requirements
- Python 3.6 or higher
- Windows OS (designed for THOR PC/VM environments)
- Access to THORDATA directory structure
## Installation
1. Download and run the MSI installer (Windows, admin required)
2. Edit config at `C:\ProgramData\ThorIngest\config.json`
3. The service starts automatically and runs on boot
No command line is required for normal use. The installer sets up the Windows Service.
For development or manual runs:
1. Ensure Python 3.6+ is installed
2. Configure `config.json` (see Configuration section)
3. Run the agent:
```bash
python series4_ingest.py
```
## Configuration
All configuration is managed through `config.json` in:
```
C:\ProgramData\ThorIngest\config.json
```
### config.json Structure
```json
{
"thordata_path": "C:\\THORDATA",
"scan_interval": 60,
"late_days": 2,
"stale_days": 60,
"sfm_endpoint": "http://<sfm backend ip>:8001/api/series4/heartbeat"
"sfm_timeout": 5,
"debug": true
}
```
### Configuration Options
| Parameter | Type | Default | Description |
|-----------|------|---------|-------------|
| `thordata_path` | string | `C:\THORDATA` | Root directory containing project/unit MLG files |
| `scan_interval` | integer | `60` | Time in seconds between scans |
| `late_days` | integer | `2` | Days before a unit is marked as LATE |
| `stale_days` | integer | `60` | Days before a unit is marked as STALE |
| `sfm_endpoint` | string | `""` | SFM backend URL (leave empty to disable HTTP) |
| `sfm_timeout` | integer | `5` | HTTP request timeout in seconds |
| `debug` | boolean | `true` | Enable/disable debug logging |
### Fallback Behavior
If `config.json` is missing or malformed, the agent will:
- Display a warning message
- Use built-in default values
- Continue running normally
## Usage
### Start the Agent (manual)
```bash
python series4_ingest.py
```
### Common Flags
- `--config <path>`: Override config file path
- `--log-dir <path>`: Override log directory
- `--once`: Run one scan and exit
- `--version`: Print version and exit
### Run Once (manual)
```bash
python series4_ingest.py --once
```
### Show Version
```bash
python series4_ingest.py --version
```
### Console Output Example
```

```
### Stop the Agent (manual)
Press `Ctrl+C` to gracefully stop the agent.
## Windows Service Installation
The MSI installs a Windows Service named `ThorIngest` using NSSM. It runs at startup.
**Check status**
```
sc query ThorIngest
```
**Start / stop**
```
sc start ThorIngest
sc stop ThorIngest
```
**Service Logs**
Logs are written to:
```
C:\ProgramData\ThorIngest\logs\thor_ingest.log
```
## Updating
1. Download the newer MSI from the internal file share/URL.
2. Run the MSI to upgrade in place.
3. Your existing config and logs are preserved.
## Building the EXE (PyInstaller)
```bash
pyinstaller --onefile --name thor-ingest-agent series4_ingest.py
```
The output EXE will be in `dist/`.
## Status Classification
Units are classified based on the age of their last MLG file:
- **OK**: Last activity within `late_days` threshold (default: < 2 days)
- **LATE**: Last activity between `late_days` and `stale_days` (default: 2-60 days)
- **STALE**: Last activity exceeds `stale_days` threshold (default: ≥ 60 days)
## SFM Backend Integration
When `sfm_endpoint` is configured, the agent sends JSON payloads to the Seismo Fleet Manager:
### Payload Structure
```json
{
"source": "series4_ingest",
"generated_at": "2025-12-08T14:30:00",
"units": [
{
"unit_id": "UM11719",
"type": "micromate",
"project_hint": "Clearwater - ECMS 57940",
"last_call": "2025-12-08T13:18:00",
"status": "OK",
"age_days": 0.05,
"age_hours": 1.2,
"mlg_path": "C:\\THORDATA\\Clearwater - ECMS 57940\\UM11719\\UM11719_20251208131800.MLG"
}
]
}
```
### Disabling SFM Integration
Set `sfm_endpoint` to an empty string in `config.json`:
```json
{
"sfm_endpoint": ""
}
```
## MLG File Format
The agent expects MLG files to follow this naming convention:
```
UM<unit_number>_YYYYMMDDHHMMSS.MLG
```
Example: `UM11719_20251208131800.MLG`
- `UM11719`: Unit ID
- `20251208131800`: Timestamp (2025-12-08 13:18:00)
- `.MLG`: Micromate Log file extension
## Directory Structure
Expected THORDATA folder structure:
```
C:\THORDATA\
├── Project A\
│ ├── UM11719\
│ │ ├── UM11719_20251208131800.MLG
│ │ ├── UM11719_20251207095430.MLG
│ │ └── ...
│ └── UM12345\
│ └── UM12345_20251205091530.MLG
└── Project B\
└── UM98765\
└── UM98765_20251004082215.MLG
```
## Troubleshooting
### Config file not found
If you see `[WARN] Config file not found`, create `config.json` in `C:\ProgramData\ThorIngest\config.json` (or pass `--config`).
### THORDATA path doesn't exist
Verify the `thordata_path` in `config.json` points to the correct directory.
### No units found
Ensure MLG files exist in the expected directory structure and follow the naming convention.
### SFM POST failures
Check that:
- `sfm_endpoint` URL is correct and accessible
- Network connectivity is available
- SFM backend is running and accepting requests
