data.faultreport
data.faultreport generates a report about edited data quality. This report includes a list of detected faults in the hourly averages and optionally the output of a spike filter.
The rules to check are defined in faultreport.conf. The spike filter configuration is defined by an instance of spikefilter.conf located either in the station specific location at $DB/etc/$STATION/$CONFIG.spikefilter.$STATION.conf or the default location $DB/etc/$CONFIG.spikefiler.conf. The default one is used if the station specific one does not exist.
Command Line Usage
data.faultreport [--source=archive] [--config=editquality] [--quiet] [--csv]
[station] start [end]
Arguments
start and end
The time specifiers for the data to be retrieved. Start is inclusive while end is exclusive, so all data contained within the half open interval [start,end) will be returned. If a single Year/week pair is specified, the end is assumed to be the start plus 7 days. Any convertible time format is accepted.
station
The station identifier code. For example 'brw'. Case insensitive.
--source=archive
Set the archive to process from, defaulting to avgHe.
--config=editquality
The configuration file base name to load rules from. The station specific file in $DB/etc/$STATION/$CONFIG.$STATION.conf is first tried and only if it does not exist is the default in $DB/etc/$CONFIG.conf used. Defaults to “editquality”.
--quiet
Only produce output on standard output if there are faults detected.
--csv
Produce output in CSV format.
