nightscout / nightscout.github.io Goto Github PK

Ben - Looking into how to add my "dexcom-uploader" instructions to the "guides/06-android-app.html.md". The prose.io site looks very helpful -- I've never used it before, but can see how it's tagging content and then using that for rendering.

Questions (so I don't create chaos in trying to contribute)

1. All the images are in "i.imgur.com." Is there a reason for this, or should the images as part of the guides be in the nightscout.github.io src, for example, "src/img/" in order to have a complete website package version controlled?
2. My question #1 may be related to this... but I'm not seeing how the default branch (source) becomes the "master" branch. I'm assuming the "master branch" is what is actually deployed as the website. If it's irrelevant, then cool -- I'm just trying to understand the end-to-end layout. Where this fits into reality is that I can edit the /guides/06-android-app.html.md file, but I can't figure out how the "nightscout.github.io/posts/01-quickstart/" content is rendered -- it looks like it's a union of the individual guides, but I can't confirm that, so I don't know if I need to make the edits twice.
3. Procedurally, I have forked the nightscout.github.io. Do I create my own branch just to edit the doc, or do I edit my forked-version of the doc?

Thanks.

The “front page” of this project, and where all inquiring minds should be directed: http://nightscout.github.io/ . Once these changes are made, I suggest putting this at the very top of the Facebook group because the veterans are having to direct newbies all the time.

The above “front page” has too many links on it and they are not organized. From what I can discern there should be 3 major sections:

1. Quickstart Guide (rename Quickstart, keep subsections)
2. Wiki (make this a section)
3. Github (the code)

Suggested specific edits:

1. Delete Guides header, Quickstart button and Wiki button
2. Rename Groups to Links
3. Move hackingtype1.com link from the Github menu to Links
4. Move trello link from Github menu to Links and label it like you did the Facebook link with what the heck trello is (seems to be some kind of development hangout?)
5. Why is there a link to “this website” under Github
6. Delete docs – these are all pages on the wiki; it’s just confusing
7. Create page on the wiki for Azure free account management and copy over the info from the posts section
8. Create page on the wiki for Subdued color scheme and copy over the info from the posts section
9. Delete posts section
10. Delete Azure and Subdued posts from the quickstart guide

Copy this document after the three major sections identified above https://attachment.fbsbx.com/file_download.php?id=300539976776929&eid=ASvW380xAmqDoxvM64ityWfa-R8zYLe42AHM5Og7Gj2NKlPUM6JweOx2qA7l7btATAY&inline=1&ext=1403142771&hash=ASu5AewhgLakw7ZN
Then delete it from Facebook

Delete this as it’s now been integrated into the Quickstart Guide
https://www.facebook.com/groups/cgminthecloud/566399763481284/

Create a page in the wiki called Dexcom Error Codes and then copy this post to that page:
https://www.facebook.com/notes/cgm-in-the-cloud/dexcom-error-codes/561005774020683
Then delete it from Facebook

Reconcile this document: https://attachment.fbsbx.com/file_download.php?id=308379319313798&eid=AStWpp_ptNyRFj_KrOuo0sYSVSeFDIPrsQIfjJpV2brwAsNrQDVQKgod73zm3u-ULZI&inline=1&ext=1403142981&hash=ASupexQRvVU9ZMby
With the What Uploaders work best? Link on the wiki.
Then delete it from Facebook

That’s all for now, but I’ll have more suggestions on cleaning up the wiki another day.

Oh, and let’s add a snazzy image to the front page. Maybe this one? https://fbcdn-sphotos-d-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xpf1/t1.0-9/10408646_786591064708847_4157694538599979556_n.jpg

In 2019 the ADA and other medical groups announced and published new guidelines for T1Ds and set the NEW ranges as 70-180 SG/BG with >70% TIR. We should show this on our Heroku graphs and alarms/alerts as well. BG_TARGET_BOTTOM (80) should be (70)!

Oops - Nightscout is having trouble

Don't panic, we can work this out! This happens to the best of us.

Check the errors below and then refer to the troubleshooting documentation.

Errors occurred during startup:

Unable to connect to Mongo
{"stack":"Error: MongoDB connection failed! Double check the MONGODB_URI setting in Heroku.
at MongoClient.connect.then.catch.err (/app/lib/storage/mongo-storage.js:63:32)","message":"MongoDB connection failed! Double check the MONGODB_URI setting in Heroku."}

A number of people are trying to conduct polls on Facebook, and they are getting overwhelmed with discussion (naturally).

• need a way to do polls

You say on the wiki that the software is MIT licensed, but "If you sell this software we would consider it stealing." The MIT license specifically allows selling the software.

I have no intention of selling it, but you should definitely clarify.

@psonnera: Thanks for your hard work with the documentation! I am doing the first migration to Atlas, and will report any documentation issues here. I will just note everything, including minor mismatches. All of this in not necessarily something that needs attention. Just consider it a helping hand at looking for whatever issues might be there. And this was all I could find, in other words, not much :-)

The question about "How are you using MongoDB" was required to proceed.

Did not see the page related to Choose a name for your organization

Click your name, top right, and select View All Organizations (not "Organizations" [sorry for nitpicking! :-)]

Click Confirm Connectivity (not "Test Connectivity")

There should be a short instruction to paste string into Notepad (missing)

Other guides have mentioned the "Maintenance Mode" in Heroku/Settings, is this required? Or will Heroku stop the apps when Begin Migration is clicked?

Possibly a missing suggestion about "Patience" before the green "Start Using Atlas" button appears (but it doesn't take very long).

I see from FB that you have already got input on this one:

(and your solution from FB: You're right that's not what should be written. It should read: "Copy the contents of your Notepad (the Atlas string) in the line MONGO_CONNECTION")

The helper script is great, and you could probably make it better by clarifying the last sentence here as well (Step 6: Copy the resulting connection string in Heroku)

And, please do suggest using your helper script as the main method to get a working connection string, I suspect it is just too confusing for most to grasp what should be and not be included.

You have already some instructions for pasting the string into theMONGO_CONNECTION variable, so a review of this whole section can be useful:

Hi,

It could be useful to mention that Access tokens will be changed if API_SECRET is changed. Just as a heads up for anyone that is already using tokens, so they know that any tokens already in use must be updated. Potentially a lot of apps/devices will be affected (family, other caretakers, various devices etc).

The latest release of NS now issues warnings about weak API_SECRET, so many users will be prompted to change theirs.

Probably this could be introduced here:
http://nightscout.github.io/nightscout/security/#create-authentication-tokens-for-users

Side note:
In NS, the tokens are called "Access tokens", but in the security documentation it is "Authentication tokens".

Quickstart guide, especially with my addition of pebble and pictures, has grown a bit.

People on facebook are requesting a simple "step by step" guide. Perhaps it makes sense to break up the quickstart into sections, which each section on it's own page. Reviewing jade and docpad stuff.

Hi Gurus,
am extracting treatment logs from Accuchek SOLO for upload. testing the rest API for treatments at https:///api-docs/#/Treatments/addTreatments which provides a CURL of

Any thoughts?

Hi @psonnera

I have seen a few people reporting issues with getting their NS site to open when clicking the "View" button after deployment in Heroku. It seems that opening their url manually is working fine, so the deployment must have been successful after all.

Perhaps add a hint to the guide about this, and possibly also in the troubleshooting?

Loop specific paragraph, remove, or rephrase?:

Hi everyone: I have set up Spanish in the website showing BG values. I included LANGUAGE ES in Heroku (with language as variable on the left box and ES on the right one). While the site is now translated into Spanish (the text of IOB, COB...) the text spoken continues to be in English. What have I done wrong?
The help says I should set the language IN THE SERVER. What does it mean?
Thanks in advance

For some reason it's wonky.

Other people report similar experience:

For some reason it's wonky, and it doesn't seem to have anything to do with the code (or the instructions).

I reproduced the issue using three different code-bases, two of which are apps maintained by other people, none of them worked correctly using builds from cloudpebble on my recent iOS 7.1.1.

Historically this part of the API is kind of wonky:

• http://forums.getpebble.com/discussion/8274/is-showing-a-configuration-window-already-working

Please change the wording to read may instead of will in this statement. In over 3 years of use as a single user, I have never had to clean or delete the data.
Free databases like M0 Sandbox provided by Atlas will only hold a limited amount of data (512MB) and you will eventually need to manually cleanup. You can extend the capacity to 2 and 5GB paying an M2 or M5 Shared cluster.

I'd love to see a preference setting on the uploader to switch between mg/dl and mmol/l - is anyone able to point me in the right direction to add the conversion rate? (x/18.1)

Thanks in advance!

This is a FAQ/POLL that needs to be ongoing.

The current website instructions allow us to track who has done them by looking at forks of cgm-remote-monitor

Braindump: I would like to augment instructions for other providers, including for @jasoncalabrese 's project glu, especially if we can automate instructions.

Please add the value cor in the ENABLE string so that the program Nightscout Reporter will work properly with Nightscout.

Documentation of the username issue here: https://github.com/Josef-A/sugarmate2nightscout/blob/master/how_to_fix_en.md

During configuration of the uploader app on my Samsung Galaxy S5, I used the API auto configure tool (http://nightscout.github.io/pages/configure/) to enter the URL and API secret into the uploader app.

My API secret includes special characters (for example, a "#", "%", or "$"). After completing setup, the app wasn't uploading data--it returned an error that indicated an authorization issue. When I reviewed the app settings, I realized that each special character had been converted to its encoded "%23", "%24", or "%25" which caused the error.

For example:

This occurred while I was using the 600SeriesAndroidUploader app but I imagine that it would be a problem regardless of the uploader app.

While migrating our NS sites to Atlas, I documented some steps to simplify the management of multiple NS sites. I didn't want to mention this earlier, as there have been more than enough to deal with regarding the migration process.

Perhaps we could now consider adding these steps to a separate page in http://nightscout.github.io/?

The hints are given in the order of usefulness. Number 1. - 3. are easy, and could be considered mandatory when managing multiple NS sites. Number 4 is the most effort, and probably not very useful to most.

1. Github: a single account is enough
2. Heroku: Adding control over multiple NS sites from the same Heroku login
3. Heroku: Use "Automatic deploy of master" (must use "pull request for updating for this to work, not the "delete fork" procedure)
4. MongoDB Atlas: Adding control over multiple NS databases from the same Atlas login

(and a hint about Reverting to a previous deploy in Heroku, which is useful, but slightly off topic)

I have the required screenshots, but haven't edited out the usernames etc yet. @psonnera , what are you using to edit screenshots? It could be good to do it consistently throughout the documentation.

Managing multiple Nightscout sites: Hints to reduce the administrative burden
-but it will take a few clicks now to set it up:

Github:
You need only one Github account!

Then, the Github part of the update Nightscout will only have to be done once.
(must use "pull request for updating for this to work, not the "delete fork" procedure)

(make it even clearer in http://nightscout.github.io/nightscout/new_user/#step-1-create-a-github-account that only one account is needed for multiple NS sites).

Heroku
https://dashboard.heroku.com/apps

Log into the Heroku account that you wish to administer from another account (let’s call the other account the “master Heroku account”).
Select the “App” you want to access from the master account.
Click Access
Click Add collaborator
Enter the email address which is used with the master Heroku account
Click Save changes

You will receive an email, but no actions are needed.
Log out of the current account
Log into your “master Heroku account”
All “Apps” (NS-instances) will be available after login. Select either one to do what you need to do.

Automatic deploy of Nightscout Master:
Click Deploy

Scroll down to Deployment method – Check that your Github account is connected
Scroll down to Automatic deploys
Click Enable Automatic Deploys

Do this for each Nightscout instance in Heroku. Now, all your NS sites will be updated to the latest Master as soon as you perform a “Pull request” in Github.

To update NS, please follow the instructions from within the NS site
Click Check for Updates and follow the instructions. There is a mention about how to proceed with “Enable Automatic Deploys” turned on.
You will only have to do this for one of the NS-sites, the others will be updated simultaneously if you followed the steps above.

(Reverting to a previous deploy:)
Should you ever regret updating your NS, it is easy to revert to any previous version.
Click Activity
Find your previous deploy in the list
Click “Roll back to here”
This goes for any changes made to the Heroku Config variables as well.

MongoDB Atlas
After having migrated your NS databases to MongoDB Atlas (or set up a new NS site with Atlas), these few steps will let you manage all your databases from one login.

https://account.mongodb.com/account/login
Log into the Atlas account that you wish to administer from another account (let’s call the other account the “master Atlas account”).
ORGANIZATION: Click Access Manager
Click Invite Users

Enter the email address of the “master Atlas account”
Select access permissions: Organization Owner
Click Invite to Organization

The invited account will be listed in the Access Manager

Log out of the current Atlas user, and into the “master Atlas account”. You should never have to log into the other accounts again.
Check the email which is used for the “master Atlas account”, look for “Invitation to MongoDB Cloud”, and click “Accept Invite”.

You will be prompted to log into your “master Atlas account” to accept the invite.
Click your name in the upper left-hand corner
You will find all your organizations here. Select either one.

Optional:
To rename the organization, klick the gear icon next to the selected name
Edit the Organization Name by clicking the pen icon

The MQTT URI should default to ssl:// rather than tcp:// or make it configurable.

Mongo Tab

The Mongo tab seems confusing in general. It doesn't follow the documentation on .info and some of the text is unclear.

1. Can we leverage existing documentation on .info for Step 1; i.e. "Refer to the Nightscout documentation at http://www.nightscout.info/wiki/welcome/configuring-the-data-backend to configure your Mongo database. We can modify the existing documentation / cheat sheet as required to accommodate using this auto-configure tool.

2. For Step 2, you're really asking for the Mongolab server hostname, port, and db name. Can we change it to say something like "Enter your Mongo server, port, and database name here:" and increase the size of the text box so you can see all data entered. Also, users can copy/paste this text directly from Mongolab.com. Here's an example from one of my databases:

3. For step 3, if we leverage existing Nightscout documentation for this process, users will already have a db username and password. You could change the text to read "Enter your database username and password"

4. There are many users with non-standard collection names. I think we should accommodate this by adding a collection box, just as there is in the android-uploader preferences screen. Set the default to entries and allow users to change as required.

5. Is the Format button required? It seems to auto-format as I enter text.

Entering just api configuration information does not generate a barcode.

See https://www.facebook.com/groups/cgminthecloud/permalink/654808487973744/

Here are a few suggestions for the Configure page used to generate QR codes:

REST Tab

1. Change "Azure site" text to "Nightscout site" to be more generic, supporting Heroku and other hosting providers. Also, consider enlarging the text box so the user can see the entire URL they enter.

2. Automatically add /api/v1 to the Nightscout site entered by the user. Currently, if a user enters what is asked for (Azure site) they will get a malformed REST API URL. See below for a malformed URL example.

Mongo Tab

The Mongo tab seems confusing in general. It doesn't follow the documentation on .info and some of the text is unclear.

5. Is the Format button required? It seems to auto-format as I enter text.

WebApp tab

1. The required section should include MONGO_CONNECTION as well as MONGO_COLLECTION. This will accommodate users with existing databases that use non-standard collection names.

2. Does it make sense to add a label of "Connection Strings" above the variables, values, and the custom label so users know where to enter them?

3. It would be a little easier to read if the variable name, value, and custom had a little more space in between them.

4. API_SECRET should be required, at least for anyone who has a REST URL configured.

Hi,

I'm currently using the nightscout service to retrieve data from my miamiao device via spike+. This is then sent to my Sugarmate app from where I log my carbs and bolus. As Sugarmate provides a food database to easily find the carbs iv eaten i'd prefer to use this however if there is a way for me to have a searchable food directory in nightscout, please let me know.

Unfortunately Sugarmate doesn't show me my Insulin On Board which is very useful info in predicting hypos. I see that Nightscout does in fact have an insulin on board calculator and so I'd like to use that however I have an issue where my nightscout site only contains bg readings and not my carb and bolus inputs.

Is there a way for me to sync this data which I am inputting from my sugarmate app (this data also syncs with apple health) to my nightscout app allowing me to input insulin/carb data via sugarmate but open nightscout to check my insulin on board?

Any help will be greatly appreciated!

And also thank you for creating this service, it has been the sole reason I have managed to reduce my hba1c down so drastically!

Best Wishes,
Hamza

Hi everyone

I have migrated to Atlas following this guide https://docs.mlab.com/how-to-migrate-sandbox-heroku-addons-to-atlas/
to continue using nightscout, and now i see glucose levels and calibrations but i don't see insulin boluses.

I have the last xdrip version (xDrip-plus-20200713-e14bae1.apk) and i think i have the necessary variables in heroku settings.

Now I can't use Nightscout reporting to correctly see the results obtained.

I have tried to find a solution on the internet but I have not seen anything. If you need more information, please ask me.

Thanks in advance.

(Forgive my bad English but I am Spanish and I am using a translator)

When I got to open the app, here are the errors I am getting:
ENV Error
{"desc":"API_SECRET should be at least 12 characters"}
Mandatory setting missing
MONGODB_URI setting is missing, cannot connect to database
Mandatory setting missing
API_SECRET setting is missing, cannot enable REST API

The MONGODB_URI is not auto-populating as it did in the instructions, and is a required field. I am not sure why I am getting errors about the API secrets either. It set up with Nightscout fine and never said anything about 12 characters?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

When I run this page against a github username that is already up to date, there's a broken image link:

A simple small suite of graphics that can be used on a web page to show what the OTG usb cable, why it's important (it's function in controlling master/slave relationship) and how to use it.

Maybe a cartoon/graphic and a picture showing?
Or a picture overlaid with text showing what's happening?

If someone can link the appropriate photos to use in a doc/comment somewhere I'll create page for it.
