OpenALPR Webhook Processor for IP Cameras

[biggen]

Yeah I didn't have Plate Preview checked ever for the test.

 

[mlapaglia]

Maybe try checking it and test

Does the Start Scrape button scrape data from openalpr.com or the watchman agent only?

Still can't figure out why the scraping isn't working.

 

[mlapaglia]

It only scrapes the agent. where were we in troubleshooting?
what agent version are you on, and do you see this screen when you go to your agent?

 

[djmadfx]

I'm running 4.1.1 -- Windows

Yes, the diagnostics page works fine along with the image and meta content. The content I need scraped is beyond 24 hours old though.

https://cloud.openalpr.com/api/search/group?topn=20000

That pulls up to 20000 results in one shot.

 

[mlapaglia]

Oh you only have your agent configured to hold 24 hours?

Previously the cloud api was only available to business class subscription and above, is it working for homeowner now?

 

[djmadfx]

"You are currently on a Free Trial until Jul. 07, 2021.Your account will be converted to Home and begin billing at the end of your free trial. "

I guess I'll see what shows after then!

The 24 hours I was referencing was just from what showed on the diagnostics page, "Plate images in the last 24 hours". Is there a way to display for longer than that?

 

[djmadfx]

Also, that API I showed is when you click "Older" or "Newer" on the cloud.alpr.com dashboard. The default requirest includes the "end" date, for pagination I would imagine, and "order"; both of which are not required. Example:

https://cloud.openalpr.com/api/search/group?topn=20&end=2021-07-06T17:03:17.053-04:00&order=desc

 

[mlapaglia]

After your trial is over the API access goes away. what number is your "earliest epoch date" value?

 

[djmadfx]

"epoch_time_start": "2021-07-01T18:29:45.580-04:00"

It looks like the API --

https://cloud.openalpr.com/api/search/group?topn=20000

-- just shows the last 5 days. There are only ~1600 entries while I know there have been more plates than that.

 

[mlapaglia]

you might need to override store_plates_maxsize_mb` in your alprd.config to store more plates. what shows up in the logs when you try to scrape?

 

[djmadfx]

The plate images show find back to June 29th in your app, so the images are still available within the local client.

In regards to scraping nothing new shows up. It's the same stuff that used to when it still didn't work originally.

that's strange, there should be a "Starting OpenALPR Agent scrape." message in there at least, are you on the latest version v3.14.2?

 

[djmadfx]

Nope, nothing else. Don't know where I am going wrong with it. Everything else works for me, including Pushover. Go figure lol

 

[djmadfx]

I'm running version 4.1.1.

 

[mlapaglia]

are you running the processor in windows or through docker?

 

[djmadfx]

Windows

 

[mlapaglia]

I just pulled down the windows version and it ran fine for me. Can you try backing up your processor.db file, deleting it from the config folder, restart the app, type in your agent settings, then run the scrap again?

 

[djmadfx]

I spun up a separate Docker container with the openalprwebhookprocessor... separate container, separate volume...

I filled in the contents on the OpenALPR Watchman Agent settings page. Same system log feedback. I don't have the camera added and configured on this instance, only the Watchman Agent page.

 

[mlapaglia]

ok, try using Release v3.14.3-alpha1 · mlapaglia/OpenAlprWebhookProcessor once it is finished building: mlapaglia/OpenAlprWebhookProcessor and see if more logs show up when you try to scrape.
