ESP Insights
############
About
-----
ESP Insights is a remote diagnostics solution that allows users to remotely monitor the health of Espressif devices in the field.
Developers normally prefer debugging issues by physically probing them using gdb or observing the logs. This surely helps debug issues, but there are often cases wherein issues are seen only in specific environments under specific conditions. Even things like casings and placement of the product can affect the behavior. A few examples are
- Wi-Fi disconnections for a smart switch concealed in a wall.
- Smart speakers crashing during some specific usage pattern.
- Appliance frequently rebooting due to power supply issues.
Additional information about ESP Insights can be found `here <https://insights.espressif.com/>`__.
ESP Insights Agent API
----------------------
Insights.begin
**************
This initializes the ESP Insights agent.
.. code-block:: arduino
bool begin(const char *auth_key, const char *node_id = NULL, uint32_t log_type = 0xFFFFFFFF, bool alloc_ext_ram = false);
* ``auth_key`` Auth key generated using Insights dashboard
* ``log_type`` Type of logs to be captured (value can be a mask of ESP_DIAG_LOG_TYPE_ERROR, ESP_DIAG_LOG_TYPE_WARNING and ESP_DIAG_LOG_TYPE_EVENT)
This function will return
1. true : On success
2. false in case of failure
Insights.send
*************
Read insights data from buffers and send it to the cloud. Call to this function is asynchronous, it may take some time to send the data.
.. code-block:: arduino
bool sendData()
This function will return
1. true : On success
2. false in case of failure
Insights.end
************
Deinitialize ESP Insights.
.. code-block:: arduino
void end();
Insights.disable
****************
Disable ESP Insights.
.. code-block:: arduino
void disable();
ESP Insights Metrics API
------------------------
`metrics` object of `Insights` class expose API's for using metrics.
Insights.metrics.addX
*********************
Register a metric of type X, where X is one of: Bool, Int, Uint, Float, String, IPv4 or MAC
.. code-block:: arduino
bool addX(const char *tag, const char *key, const char *label, const char *path);
* ``tag`` : Tag of metrics
* ``key`` : Unique key for the metrics
* ``label`` : Label for the metrics
* ``path`` : Hierarchical path for key, must be separated by '.' for more than one level
This function will return
1. true : On success
2. false in case of failure
Insights.metrics.remove
***********************
Unregister a diagnostics metrics
.. code-block:: arduino
bool remove(const char *key);
* ``key`` : Key for the metrics
This function will return
1. true : On success
2. false in case of failure
Insights.metrics.removeAll
**************************
Unregister all previously registered metrics
.. code-block:: arduino
bool removeAll();
This function will return
1. true : On success
2. false in case of failure
Insights.metrics.setX
*********************
Add metrics of type X to storage, where X is one of: Bool, Int, Uint, Float, String, IPv4 or MAC
.. code-block:: arduino
bool setX(const char *key, const void val);
* ``key`` : Key of metrics
* ``val`` : Value of metrics
This function will return
1. `ESP_OK` : On success
2. Error in case of failure
Insights.metrics.dumpHeap
*************************
Dumps the heap metrics and prints them to the console.
This API collects and reports metrics value at any give point in time.
.. code-block:: arduino
bool dumpHeap();
This function will return
1. true : On success
2. false in case of failure
Insights.metrics.dumpWiFi
*************************
Dumps the Wi-Fi metrics and prints them to the console.
This API can be used to collect Wi-Fi metrics at any given point in time.
.. code-block:: arduino
bool dumpWiFi();
This function will return
1. true : On success
2. false in case of failure
Insights.metrics.setHeapPeriod
******************************
Reset the periodic interval
By default, heap metrics are collected every 30 seconds, this function can be used to change the interval.
If the interval is set to 0, heap metrics collection disabled.
.. code-block:: arduino
void setHeapPeriod(uint32_t period);
* ``period`` : Period interval in seconds
Insights.metrics.setWiFiPeriod
******************************
Reset the periodic interval
By default, Wi-Fi metrics are collected every 30 seconds, this function can be used to change the interval.
If the interval is set to 0, Wi-Fi metrics collection disabled.
.. code-block:: arduino
void setHeapPeriod(uint32_t period);
* ``period`` : Period interval in seconds
ESP Insights Variables API
--------------------------
`variables` object of `Insights` class expose API's for using variables.
Insights.variables.addX
***********************
Register a variable of type X, where X is one of: Bool, Int, Uint, Float, String, IPv4 or MAC
.. code-block:: arduino
bool addX(const char *tag, const char *key, const char *label, const char *path);
* ``tag`` : Tag of variable
* ``key`` : Unique key for the variable
* ``label`` : Label for the variable
* ``path`` : Hierarchical path for key, must be separated by '.' for more than one level
This function will return
1. true : On success
2. false in case of failure
Insights.variables.remove
*************************
Unregister a diagnostics variable
.. code-block:: arduino
bool remove(const char *key);
* ``key`` : Key for the variable
This function will return
1. true : On success
2. false in case of failure
Insights.variables.removeAll
****************************
Unregister all previously registered variables
.. code-block:: arduino
bool unregisterAll();
This function will return
1. true : On success
2. false in case of failure
Insights.variables.setX
***********************
Add variable of type X to storage, where X is one of: Bool, Int, Uint, Float, String, IPv4 or MAC
.. code-block:: arduino
bool setX(const char *key, const void val);
* ``key`` : Key of metrics
* ``val`` : Value of metrics
This function will return
1. true : On success
2. false in case of failure
