Status folder

Note

All status files are encoded in JSON so that it is both human-readable as well as machine-parsable. The output paths in the following table are relative to the volumes root directory.

The Status Folder contains the following information about any Gateway Plus and its connected scanners:

Exporter	Output paths	Description
Error log	`Status/logs/error.log`	Recent error logs truncated to max 2 MiB
Profiles	`Status/profiles/current.zip`	Currently saved, default and active Profiles both as Protobuf Files and JSON representations
Failed updates	`Status/failed/<original path>`	Any firmware update failed to apply
Connected scanners	`Status/devices/connected.json`	List of currently connected scanners
Gateway Plus device information	`Status/software/gateway_info.json`	Information about the Gateway Plus firmware and hardware
Installed packages	`Status/software/installed.zip`	Information about all installed debian packages
WebSocket information	`Status/software/websocket_status.json`	Websocket connection information (address, state)
Network information	`Status/software/network_status.json`	Network information (IP address, connectivity)

Gateway Plus Device Information

The file Status/software/gateway_info.json contains information about the Gateway Plus device and the running firmware version. The output is similar to the one obtained by scanning the Gateway Plus.

Example 28. Example:

{
    "serial_number": "PGGP000000058",
    "board_serial_number": "69588B04",
    "distributor_pairing_name": "PGGP-00058",

}

MARK Device Information

The file Status/devices/connected.json contains information about all connected scanners' hardware and firmware version. The output is similar to the one obtained by scanning the Gateway Plus service barcode.

To update this file for all connected devices, eject the Mass Storage and remount it again. If the Mass Storage Mode is set to Continuous, remounting happens automatically. If set to Manually, scan the Enable Mass Storage QR code to remount.

Example 29. Example:

{ 
    "connected_scanners": [ 
        { 
            "serial_number": "MDMR000000063", 
            "firmware_version": "v2.0.1-rc1", 
            "device_model": "Mark Two", 
            "device_manufacturer": "Workaround GmbH"

            "firmware_version": "v2.5.0", 
            "device_model": "Mark Two", 
            "device_manufacturer": "Workaround GmbH" 
        } 
    ] 
}

Network information

Status/software/network_status.json contains the network connectivity information.

                "content": "connect to the Websocket server"
            }
        ]
    }
}

Profiles

The file Status/profiles/current.zip is a zipped archive of all saved configuration files downloaded from INSIGHT. It contains the Protobuf files (.wcfg1p) of the configurations sent to Gateway Plus as well as the currently active configuration. The default profile is relevant when programmatical switching between profiles will be supported. To apply for the early access program, contact support@proglove.com.

The profile also contains a JSON directory where all the JSON representations of the above files can be found (.wcfg1p.json). Both the scanner and gateway configurations are part of this file.

Service barcodes

After connecting the scanner to your Gateway Plus, you can access all major device information like firmware or hardware version by scanning the Service Barcodes.
