Update Sensor Data Displayed on UI #367
Description
From #351
From a user's perspective, I would be interested in the most recent data from the active nodes. From a business perspective, it would be important to showcase to potential partners/general public our project's regional footprint.
To implement this, all inactive sensors can be displayed on the map using a unique visual marker, say greyed cells, with a label indicating that they have been inactive for a given period.
How I would implement this:
Have a cron job get all nodes that have been inactive since = longer period and save the results as a static JSON file. This cron job should be done each new month, for example.
The endpoint that the map will use to show active nodes will filter short period from now.
To populate the cells, counter-check the inactive nodes from the JSON file with the active nodes query results and filter out "inactive nodes" that may come back to life after the cron job was done.
What do you think?
