How to use the OneManager branch

####Overview: This PA modification allows you to run all your alerts with 1 manager. It accomplishes this by three main additions

1. All the filters get checked. For each filter that is matched, an alarm is triggered
2. All matching geofence(s) for each event can trigger an alarm. (you do not need a duplicated filter set for each geofence)
3. A new file, channel_id.json, is required. This file translates your geofence+filter combination into the channel/webhook portion of the discord webhook url

channel_id.json, filters.json, and geofence.txt are all required and must all be formatted appropriately to make alerts work.

See examples files to see an example set up similar to the one I use.

####geofence.txt

1. Formatted exactly the same as always.
2. The area names (ie [Area1]) must match the Area names used in channel_id.json
3. Do not set a geofence for "All". If an event matches any geofence, an alarm is also created for the corresponding Filter/Discord webhook url pair in the "All" key of channel_id.json.
4. Use SubAreas if you have multiple smaller areas within a larger area. For example, you have a discord channel for all ultra rare spawns within a city and you also have multiple channels for rare spawns occuring in each of many different neighborhoods within that city. In your geofence file, do not specify a geofence for [Area2], instead only specify geofences for each SubArea in the format [Area2-SubArea1]

####channel_id.json

• This file should look a lot like the organization of your discord server. See the example file for format. Some important points:

1. You can include an "All" key, if an event occurs within any geofence, it can trigger an alarm using the "All" set of Filter names
2. The first dictionary level are Area/Filter pairs. The Area name in this file must must match the Area names used in geofence.txt
3. The second dictionary level are Filter/Discord Webhook Url pairs. The Filter name must match the Filter names in filters.json. The Discord Webhook Url is the last portion of the webhook url (ie everything after "discordapp.com/api/webhooks/" ) for the channel you want to send the alarm to.

####filters.json

1. No format changes from standard PA
2. Do not use '"geofences": [ "Area" ]'. All geofences supplied in geofences.txt will be checked for every event
3. The Filter name must match the Filter name specified in channel_id.json. (Except as described below)
4. In setting the Filter name the hyphen character (ie "-"), has a special use. If you have multiple filters you want to send to one discord channel you can use the hyphen to have different Filter names in filters.json that will match the same Filter name in channel_id.json. For example, in filters.json the Filter name "UltraRare-1" and "UltraRare-2" will both match the "UltraRare" key in channel_id.json. Thus, an event matching the conditions for either filter "UltraRare-1" or "UltraRare-2" will use the same Discord Webhook url.

####alarms.json

1. Do not include '"webhook_url":"YOUR_WEBHOOK_URL"' in alarms.json
2. Make sure your alarm format is robust enough to accomidate all filters. Only 1 alarm file is used
