Hi there!

We are having problems with clients that have a bad power supply but at the same time are reluctant to invest in a UPS. They come back on Mondays and realise that the server was down for the whole weekend and also happened for them to be burglarized.
We configured a lot of notifications to keep an eye on the system's health (camera disconnections, network problems, etc.) but it does not help when the entire system goes offline due to a power outage as for obvious reasons, the system is incapable to send any notification when has no power ;)
I was wondering if NX Cloud does not have the ability (apparently it doesn't, I couldn't find) to send a notification when it loses access to a certain site for whatever reason server is down, Internet offline), it won't matter.
If the ability is confirmed inexistent, couldn't it be implemented easily, can I suggest/ask for this upgrade? I'm sure it'd be very useful. In my outsider view, it's just a matter of the same Cloud counter/agent that polls the sites from time to time the check their availability to be able to send a notification to a certain selectable user regarding a certain selectable site.

  Hello,

  You could use Cloud API for polling the system status.

  If you take this script as a basis

  https://github.com/networkoptix/nx_open_integrations/blob/master/python/examples/authentication/cloud_bearer.py

  and modify the main() as following:

  def main():
      oauth_payload = create_payload()
      oath_response = request_api(CLOUD_URL, f'/cdb/oauth2/token', 'POST', json=oauth_payload)
      primary_token = get_token(oath_response)
  
      oath_response = request_api(CLOUD_URL, f'/cdb/oauth2/token', 'POST', json=oauth_payload)
      secondary_token = get_token(oath_response)
  
      primary_token_header = create_header(primary_token)
  
      system_info = request_api(CLOUD_URL, f'/cdb/system/get', 'GET',
          headers=primary_token_header, verify=False)
  
      print(system_info)
      secondary_token_header = create_header(secondary_token)
  
      request_api(CLOUD_URL, f'/cdb/oauth2/token/{primary_token}', 'DELETE', headers=secondary_token_header)

  it would give a list of system, where you find the status by checking the "stateOfHealth" value.

  Thank you, Andrey.

  Unfortunately, I posted this in the wrong place, I'm not a developer and that's not gonna work for me.

  Regards,

  Marco
