This is the beginning of a new project to trigger alarms on objects that has been in an area for too long time.

TODO:

  • Add filtering for class name
  • Clean-up duplication of ROI code in Python script and Starlark script
  • Automate the creation of the combined file
  • Add a quickstart guide
  • Add section explaining how the major components work:
    • metadata consumer
    • ROI filter
    • Duration counter
  • Add alarm event output
  • Add overlay text on alarm
  • Add pipeline CICD test for all host tests
  • Make sure all python scripts has type annotations
  • Try to get rid of some of the linter disables in the python files

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Time-in-Area analytics pipeline with per-track time calculation and threshold-based alerts; metadata consumer, sample feeder, and stdout debug output for easy ingestion.
    • Heatmap viewer with alarm overlay and an SSH-based real-device recorder.
  • Documentation

    • Full project README and test-scripts README with setup, configuration, testing, and troubleshooting guidance.
  • Tests

    • Sample JSONL dataset and end-to-end CI workflows validating multiple alert thresholds.
  • Chores

    • Added reusable Python quality-check action and updated workflows to use it.

Note

Introduces a complete time-in-area analytics project with Telegraf/Starlark pipeline, overlay/event outputs, visualization/test tooling, and end-to-end CI plus a reusable Python quality action.

  • Project project-time-in-area-analytics:
    • Pipeline configs/starlark: config_* for input, class/zone filtering, track duration, threshold, rate limit, overlay transform; scripts zone_filter.star, track_duration_calculator.star.
    • I/O scripts: axis_scene_detection_consumer.sh, overlay_manager.sh, event output config_output_events.conf.
    • Docs: README.md, README_INCLUDE_ZONE.md.
    • Testing data/configs: test_files/*.jsonl, stdout config, overlay test input.
    • Python test/visualization: test_scripts/track_heatmap_viewer.py, visualize_zone*.py, record_real_data.py, requirements.txt.
  • CI/CD:
    • Analytics tests: .github/workflows/project-time-in-area-test-analytics.yml (heatmap viewer and Telegraf pipeline scenarios + PR comments).
    • Python quality: reusable action .github/actions/python-quality-check and workflows for analytics/timelapse projects.
  • Repo housekeeping:
    • Update .gitignore entries; minor .coderabbit.yaml guidance additions.

❌ Time-in-Area Analytics Tests Failed

Some tests did not pass:

Track Heatmap Viewer: success
Telegraf Pipeline: failure

What This Means

Telegraf Pipeline Issues:

  • The time-in-area calculation or threshold filtering may not be working correctly
  • Check the Starlark processor in track_duration_calculator.star and threshold filter configuration

TODO:

  • "Use threading for timeout instead of signals" - clarify
  • why daemon thread?
  • Viz: print nbr of alarms per track for easier validation and explain validation how-to
  • "the output from FixedIT Data Agent analytics" - not correct?
  • Reduce get_time_in_area_seconds side effects
  • # Create debug metric for this removal - only if debug flag is set
  • "(always add it, filtering happens in next processor)" - clarify
  • # Always add the main metric with dwell time - Don't call it dwell time

1-4: Confirm compatibility with Python 3.13 used in CI

These pins look reasonable. Please verify they install cleanly under Python 3.13 (the version configured in the composite action), especially numpy/matplotlib wheels and Paramiko’s cryptography dependency.

If needed, I can update the composite action to make the Python version configurable per workflow so projects with stricter wheels can use 3.12 temporarily.

9-9: Potentially unintended reuse of track_001 after deletion

After a DeleteOperation for track_001 (Line 6), Line 9 introduces a new observation with the same track_id. If this isn’t an explicit test for “ID reuse,” consider using a new ID (e.g., track_005) to avoid ambiguity in dwell-time logic and metrics attribution.

Apply this diff if reuse is unintentional:

-{"frame": {"observations": [{"bounding_box": {"bottom": 0.79, "left": 0.29, "right": 0.39, "top": 0.54}, "class": {"type": "Vehicle"}, "timestamp": "2024-01-15T10:00:12.456789Z", "track_id": "track_003"}, {"bounding_box": {"bottom": 0.68, "left": 0.28, "right": 0.38, "top": 0.48}, "class": {"type": "Human"}, "timestamp": "2024-01-15T10:00:12.456789Z", "track_id": "track_001"}], "timestamp": "2024-01-15T10:00:12.456789Z"}}
+{"frame": {"observations": [{"bounding_box": {"bottom": 0.79, "left": 0.29, "right": 0.39, "top": 0.54}, "class": {"type": "Vehicle"}, "timestamp": "2024-01-15T10:00:12.456789Z", "track_id": "track_003"}, {"bounding_box": {"bottom": 0.68, "left": 0.28, "right": 0.38, "top": 0.48}, "class": {"type": "Human"}, "timestamp": "2024-01-15T10:00:12.456789Z", "track_id": "track_005"}], "timestamp": "2024-01-15T10:00:12.456789Z"}}

11-11: Consider finalizing open tracks with explicit DeleteOperations

The last frame has no operations. If the dwell-time calculator awaits explicit DeleteOperation events to flush metrics, add DeleteOperations for any active tracks (e.g., track_003 and track_004) to make tests deterministic.

Apply this diff to emit explicit deletions at the final timestamp:

-{"frame": {"observations": [], "operations": [], "timestamp": "2024-01-15T10:00:25.000000Z"}}
+{"frame": {"observations": [], "operations": [{"id": "track_003", "type": "DeleteOperation"}, {"id": "track_004", "type": "DeleteOperation"}], "timestamp": "2024-01-15T10:00:25.000000Z"}}
project-time-in-area-analytics/test_files/sample_data_feeder.sh (2)

1-3: Enable safer shell execution flags

Use set -eu for early failure on unset vars and error propagation (portable in /bin/sh). This avoids silent misconfigurations during CI runs.

Apply this diff:

 #!/bin/sh

-# Sample Data Feeder Script
+set -eu

+# Sample Data Feeder Script

11-21: Validate HELPER_FILES_DIR is set before path usage

The script assumes HELPER_FILES_DIR is set. With set -u (recommended), referencing an unset var will abort the script. Add an explicit check and clearer error.

Apply this diff:

 # Check if sample file is specified
 if [ -z "$SAMPLE_FILE" ]; then
     echo "ERROR: SAMPLE_FILE environment variable not set" >&2
     exit 1
 fi

+# Check if helper files directory is specified
+if [ -z "${HELPER_FILES_DIR:-}" ]; then
+    echo "ERROR: HELPER_FILES_DIR environment variable not set" >&2
+    exit 1

 # Check if sample file exists

     exit 1

3-14: Make Python version configurable (default 3.13)

Different projects may have wheels that lag on 3.13 (e.g., opencv). Add a python-version input with a sensible default.

Apply this diff:

 inputs:
   working-directory:
     description: "Working directory for the Python project"
     required: true
+  python-version:
+    description: "Python version to use via actions/setup-python"
+    required: false
+    default: "3.13"
   additional-types:
     description: "Additional type packages to install (space-separated)"
     required: false
     default: ""
   pylint-options:
     description: "Additional options for pylint"
     required: false
     default: ""

19-23: Use the new python-version input in setup step

Wire the new input into actions/setup-python to enable per-workflow overrides.

Apply this diff:

     - name: Setup Python
       uses: actions/setup-python@v5
       with:
-        python-version: "3.13"
+        python-version: ${{ inputs.python-version }}

24-36: Avoid bundling types-click by default (can conflict with Click 8’s typing)

types-click 7.x can overshadow Click’s built-in annotations (8.x) and cause mypy noise. Make it opt-in via additional-types instead of default.

75-79: Run doctests only if Python files are present

Prevents false negatives when a test_scripts dir only contains helpers.

25-32: Nice reuse of the composite action; keep Python version override in mind

Looks good. If any of this project’s dependencies lag on Python 3.13 wheels, you can now set python-version: "3.12" via the action’s new input without changing the action itself.

Example:

- uses: ./.github/actions/python-quality-check
  with:
    working-directory: project-timelapse-s3/test_scripts
    python-version: "3.12"
    additional-types: types-tqdm==4.67.0.20250516 types-boto3==1.40.4 types-Pillow==10.2.0.20240822

34-62: Make visualization test parsing more robust (machine-readable output)

Grep-based parsing of the “Tracks with alarms” free-text output is brittle and easy to break as the script’s logging evolves. Since track_heatmap_viewer.py already prints:

print(f"\nTracks with alarms (>= {alarm_threshold}s):")
for track_id in sorted(alarm_tracks):
    print(f"  {track_id}")

consider adding a new flag (e.g. --json-summary or --summary) that emits a concise JSON payload:

{ 
  "alarms": <number>, 
  "tracks": ["track_1", "track_2", ] 
}

Then update each workflow step in .github/workflows/project-time-in-area-test-analytics.yml (lines 34–62, 63–96, 97–130) to use jq for assertions:

OUTPUT=$(python test_scripts/track_heatmap_viewer.py ... --json-summary)
ACTUAL_ALARMS=$(echo "$OUTPUT" | jq '.alarms')

This will make tests far more stable and self-documenting.

68-76: Document minimum required privileges for credentials

Please specify the minimal privileges needed (e.g., viewer/operator/admin) for the SSH account to access the message broker, and advise against using higher privileges than necessary.

Please state minimum required privileges for any credentials used (viewer/operator/admin) and prefer least-privilege. Also clarify that the host examples run locally and device-side uses the Axis message broker.

Apply this diff to include minimum-privileges guidance:

328-345: Viewer vs. Telegraf 60s-gap handling: confirm consistency claim

README claims both tools behave identically and that Telegraf forgets a track after 60s gaps. The viewer currently accumulates time since first seen and doesn’t reset after long gaps. Please either:

  • document that the viewer approximates “total since first seen,” or
  • update the viewer to reset after gaps > 60s to match Telegraf.

I’ve proposed a concrete code change in track_heatmap_viewer.py to align behavior; see that review for details.

299-311: Use 'raise … from None' to satisfy Ruff B904 and clarify exception origins

Ruff flagged these raises in except blocks. Use exception chaining to avoid implying handler errors.

52-71: Auto-adding unknown host keys is convenient but weakens SSH trust

AutoAddPolicy() trusts any host key on first connect. For production or sensitive environments, prefer RejectPolicy + known_hosts management or make this user-configurable via a flag.

I can add a --insecure-auto-add-host-key flag defaulting to False and switch the policy accordingly. Want me to push that change?

project-*/**

⚙️ CodeRabbit Configuration File

project-*/**: Each example project for the FixedIT Data Agent should be self-contained and designed as a standalone example / tutorial showing how to use the FixedIT Data Agent. The project should be well documented and include all the necessary files to run the example. A reader should be able to understand the background and the purpose of the project, and be able to understand the implementation details and how to use it. If the project includes a dashboard, it should be placed in a new folder in the repo-root/dashboard-deployments/ directory instead of being included in the project folder. In the README for the project, the first time the FixedIT Data Agent is mentioned, we should link to the product page: https://fixedit.ai/products-data-agent/ Emphasize that these solutions are accessible to system integrators and IT professionals without requiring complex C/C++ ACAP development. Highlight that custom edge intelligence can be implemented using familiar IT tools (configuration files, shell scripts, REST APIs) rather than traditional embedded programming approaches. Note that bash does not exist on the Axis devices, so .sh scripts should be written in portable shell syntax.
README Structure: All project README files should follow the standardized template at .project_readme_template.md. This template ensures consistent documentation that serves both audiences: (1) IT professionals who want plug-and-play solutions, and (2) developers who want to customize and extend the examples. The template enforces a logical structure: 1) Introduction and background (project purpose, how it works, why choose this approach) 2) Technical explanation and quick start guide (compatibility, setup, troubleshooting) 3) Developer-oriented notes (local testing, implementation details)
Key README Requirements: - Include compatibility sections for both AXIS OS and FixedIT Data Agent versions - Explain host testing and its limitations and why certain parts require actual Axis d...

⚙️ CodeRabbit Configuration File

This repository serves FixedIT Data Agent users across a spectrum from plug-and-play dashboard deployment to advanced edge device customization. Consider whether changes maintain accessibility for both DevOps professionals (server-side focus) and developers (edge customization focus). If new features are added or existing ones changed significantly, ensure documentation clearly explains the intended audience and usage level. We use prettier for formatting of common file formats like markdown, yaml, json, etc. Example projects should be placed in the repo-root in a directory named project-*/. Whenever referencing Axis device model names like "D4100-VE mk II" or "M3045", prefix it with "AXIS" in capital letters (e.g. "AXIS D4100-VE mk II"). When using Axis as a company name, use "Axis Communications", note that all-caps is only used when "AXIS" is used in their product names, not their company name. When using the name of an Axis product, google on the name to verify that it is correctly identified. Avoid using 'cameras' or 'Axis cameras' unless the solution in related to visual analytics, otherwise prefer using 'Axis devices' to show that the FixedIT Data Agent also works with strobes, speakers, door stations, etc. Images used for the README should be placed in a directory called .images/ in the affected project folder. These images might also be referred to from other sources like the top-level README.md file.

⚙️ CodeRabbit Configuration File

**/*.md: Documentation files should clearly communicate the dual audience: (1) server-side dashboard users who want to keep agent with bundled configs, and (2) edge device developers who want to customize agent behavior. Ensure examples and instructions are appropriate for the intended skill level and use case. Since this is a public repository, we should not include any sensitive information, the instructions should be easily understandable for a wide audience, and we should avoid using any jargon or technical terms that are not commonly used.
Anchor Links: For headings that contain Unicode characters (emojis, special characters) or backticks, use HTML anchor tags to ensure consistent linking behavior across different platforms (GitHub, VS Code, etc.). Add a separate line with <a id="anchor-name"></a> before the heading, and update the table of contents to reference this manual anchor.

6-6: Heads-up: DeleteOperation frames are currently dropped by the feeder

Given the current feeder (test_files/sample_data_feeder.sh) only emits observations, this DeleteOperation (Line 6) won’t reach the processing pipeline. If the algorithm needs delete events to end dwell windows, tests may undercount or never finalize. See suggested feeder update to emit operations as separate events.

project-time-in-area-analytics/test_files/config_input_sample_data.conf (2)

16-28: LGTM: Clear and focused execd input for local test feeder

The execd input is well-scoped for test data, sets a stable measurement name, and preserves key string fields. Works well with the rest of the pipeline.


26-28: Confirm json_string_fields matches your feeder’s flattened JSON schema

The sample feeder emits raw nested JSON under frame (e.g.

{"frame": { "observations": [ { "timestamp":"", "track_id":"" } ], "timestamp":"" }}

), so Telegraf’s JSON parser will flatten those keys into names like frame_timestamp and frame_observations_track_id. The current

json_string_fields = ["timestamp", "track_id", "object_type"]

won’t match the flattened field names. If you see type coercion (IDs or timestamps parsed as numbers/booleans), then:

  • Update json_string_fields to the actual flattened keys, for example:
    json_string_fields = [
      "frame_timestamp",
      "frame_observations_track_id"
    ]
  • Or adjust your feeder to emit Telegraf metric-format JSON (with a top-level fields object) so the parser picks up your named fields directly.
  • Optionally promote identifiers to tags instead:
    tag_keys = ["track_id", "object_type"]

To validate locally, run a dry-run of the file input plugin:

telegraf \

Emit operation events (DeleteOperation) in addition to observations

Currently frames without observations are dropped, which discards DeleteOperation events. This risks never finalizing dwell windows. Emit both observation and operation messages. Also prefer JSON null (not the string "null") for missing object_type.

31 to 45, the jq filter currently drops frames without observations (losing
DeleteOperation events) and emits the string "null" for missing object_type;
change the filter so it emits observation objects for each observation and also
emits an operation object (e.g., DeleteOperation) for frames with no
observations (or emit both observation and a corresponding operation as
required), and ensure object_type uses a true JSON null (use // null, not "//
\"null\""). Adjust the jq branches to produce the additional operation JSON and
replace the ("null") fallback with null.

Mypy failure: missing Paramiko stubs

CI reports “Library stubs not installed for 'paramiko'”. Two viable fixes:

  • Preferred: add types-paramiko to the project’s pinned requirements for tooling (e.g., project-time-in-area-analytics/test_scripts/requirements.txt).
  • Alternative: configure mypy to ignore missing imports for paramiko.

Proposed diffs:

  1. Add types-paramiko to test_scripts requirements (pin to latest you use):
+# Add type stubs for mypy
+types-paramiko==<pin-latest-verified>
  1. Or annotate the import to mute mypy (quick workaround):
-import paramiko
+import paramiko  # type: ignore[import-untyped]

Let me know which route you prefer; I can update the workflow to install the stubs as well.


🏁 Script executed:

#!/bin/bash
# Locate all requirements files
echo "Requirements files found:"
fd -t f 'requirements*.txt'

# Check for types-paramiko in test_scripts requirements
echo -e "\nChecking for types-paramiko in project-time-in-area-analytics/test_scripts/requirements.txt:"
grep -n 'types-paramiko' project-time-in-area-analytics/test_scripts/requirements.txt || echo "→ types-paramiko not found"

# Search for mypy ignore_missing_imports settings across the repo

# Check for mypy configuration in pyproject.toml
echo -e "\nLooking for tool.mypy in pyproject.toml:"
grep -R "tool.mypy" -n pyproject.toml || echo "→ No tool.mypy section in pyproject.toml"

Add Paramiko Type Stubs to Fix MyPy Errors

We’ve confirmed that

  • project-time-in-area-analytics/test_scripts/requirements.txt does not include types-paramiko
  • there is no MyPy config (no ignore_missing_imports or [mypy] section)

To resolve the CI failure, please choose one of the following:

Preferred (install stubs):
In project-time-in-area-analytics/test_scripts/requirements.txt, add:

+# Add type stubs for MyPy
+types-paramiko==<latest-pinned-version>

Alternative (quick mute):
In project-time-in-area-analytics/test_scripts/record_real_data.py, change:

-import paramiko
+import paramiko  # type: ignore[import-untyped]

Let me know which approach you’d like, and I can update the workflow to install the stubs accordingly.

1-6: Move type stubs to dev-only when possible

types-paramiko is a type stub and not required at runtime; consider moving it to a dev/test-only requirements file or a type-check job to keep installs lean.

Apply this diff if you prefer to split a dev-only set (and reference it from a separate type-check workflow):

- types-paramiko==4.0.0.20250809

Outside this file, add a dev requirements file:

project-*/**

⚙️ CodeRabbit Configuration File

project-*/**: Each example project for the FixedIT Data Agent should be self-contained and designed as a standalone example / tutorial showing how to use the FixedIT Data Agent. The project should be well documented and include all the necessary files to run the example. A reader should be able to understand the background and the purpose of the project, and be able to understand the implementation details and how to use it. If the project includes a dashboard, it should be placed in a new folder in the repo-root/dashboard-deployments/ directory instead of being included in the project folder. In the README for the project, the first time the FixedIT Data Agent is mentioned, we should link to the product page: https://fixedit.ai/products-data-agent/ Emphasize that these solutions are accessible to system integrators and IT professionals without requiring complex C/C++ ACAP development. Highlight that custom edge intelligence can be implemented using familiar IT tools (configuration files, shell scripts, REST APIs) rather than traditional embedded programming approaches. Note that bash does not exist on the Axis devices, so .sh scripts should be written in portable shell syntax.
README Structure: All project README files should follow the standardized template at .project_readme_template.md. This template ensures consistent documentation that serves both audiences: (1) IT professionals who want plug-and-play solutions, and (2) developers who want to customize and extend the examples. The template enforces a logical structure: 1) Introduction and background (project purpose, how it works, why choose this approach) 2) Technical explanation and quick start guide (compatibility, setup, troubleshooting) 3) Developer-oriented notes (local testing, implementation details)
Key README Requirements: - Include compatibility sections for both AXIS OS and FixedIT Data Agent versions - Explain host testing and its limitations and why certain parts require actual Axis d...

⚙️ CodeRabbit Configuration File

This repository serves FixedIT Data Agent users across a spectrum from plug-and-play dashboard deployment to advanced edge device customization. Consider whether changes maintain accessibility for both DevOps professionals (server-side focus) and developers (edge customization focus). If new features are added or existing ones changed significantly, ensure documentation clearly explains the intended audience and usage level. We use prettier for formatting of common file formats like markdown, yaml, json, etc. Example projects should be placed in the repo-root in a directory named project-*/. Whenever referencing Axis device model names like "D4100-VE mk II" or "M3045", prefix it with "AXIS" in capital letters (e.g. "AXIS D4100-VE mk II"). When using Axis as a company name, use "Axis Communications", note that all-caps is only used when "AXIS" is used in their product names, not their company name. When using the name of an Axis product, google on the name to verify that it is correctly identified. Avoid using 'cameras' or 'Axis cameras' unless the solution in related to visual analytics, otherwise prefer using 'Axis devices' to show that the FixedIT Data Agent also works with strobes, speakers, door stations, etc. Images used for the README should be placed in a directory called .images/ in the affected project folder. These images might also be referred to from other sources like the top-level README.md file.

34-47: Emit operations and use JSON null for object_type

Two issues:

  • Frames without observations are dropped, losing DeleteOperation events.
  • object_type uses the string "null" instead of JSON null.

Refactor the jq filter to emit both observations and operations, and coalesce to true null.

Apply:

-        echo "$line" | jq -c '
-        .frame as $frame |
-        if ($frame.observations | length) > 0 then
-          $frame.observations[] |
-          {
-            "frame": $frame.timestamp,
-            "timestamp": .timestamp,
-            "track_id": .track_id,
-            "object_type": (.class.type // "null"),
-            "bounding_box": .bounding_box
-          }
-        else
-          empty
-        end'

The intro mentions “warning (TODO)” and “MQTT (TODO)”. Readers should immediately understand what the current version does. Suggest clarifying that alerts are currently demonstrated via stdout and that MQTT/warning tiers are planned.

Apply:

-This project demonstrates how to implement time-in-area analytics for Axis fisheye cameras using the [FixedIT Data Agent](https://fixedit.ai/products-data-agent/). While AXIS Object Analytics natively supports time-in-area detection for traditional cameras, fisheye cameras lack this capability. This solution bridges that gap by consuming real-time object detection metadata from fisheye cameras and implementing custom time-in-area logic using Telegraf's Starlark processor. The system uses object tracking IDs from [AXIS Scene Metadata](https://developer.axis.com/analytics/axis-scene-metadata/reference/concepts/) to track objects within a defined rectangular area, measures time in area, and triggers both warning (TODO) and alert notifications via MQTT (TODO) when objects remain in the monitored zone beyond configured thresholds.

A reader should be able to understand the background and the purpose of the project, and be able to understand the implementation details and how to use it. If the project includes a dashboard, it should be placed in a new folder in the repo-root/dashboard-deployments/ directory instead of being included in the project folder. In the README for the project, the first time the FixedIT Data Agent is mentioned, we should link to the product page: https://fixedit.ai/products-data-agent/ Emphasize that these solutions are accessible to system integrators and IT professionals without requiring complex C/C++ ACAP development. Highlight that custom edge intelligence can be implemented using familiar IT tools (configuration files, shell scripts, REST APIs) rather than traditional embedded programming approaches. Note that bash does not exist on the Axis devices, so .sh scripts should be written in portable shell syntax.
README Structure: All project README files should follow the standardized template at .project_readme_template.md. This template ensures consistent documentation that serves both audiences: (1) IT professionals who want plug-and-play solutions, and (2) developers who want to customize and extend the examples. The template enforces a logical structure: 1) Introduction and background (project purpose, how it works, why choose this approach) 2) Technical explanation and quick start guide (compatibility, setup, troubleshooting) 3) Developer-oriented notes (local testing, implementation details)
Key README Requirements: - Include compatibility sections for both AXIS OS and FixedIT Data Agent versions - Explain host testing and its limitations and why certain parts require actual Axis d...

⚙️ CodeRabbit Configuration File

This repository serves FixedIT Data Agent users across a spectrum from plug-and-play dashboard deployment to advanced edge device customization. Consider whether changes maintain accessibility for both DevOps professionals (server-side focus) and developers (edge customization focus). If new features are added or existing ones changed significantly, ensure documentation clearly explains the intended audience and usage level. We use prettier for formatting of common file formats like markdown, yaml, json, etc. Example projects should be placed in the repo-root in a directory named project-*/. Whenever referencing Axis device model names like "D4100-VE mk II" or "M3045", prefix it with "AXIS" in capital letters (e.g. "AXIS D4100-VE mk II"). When using Axis as a company name, use "Axis Communications", note that all-caps is only used when "AXIS" is used in their product names, not their company name. When using the name of an Axis product, google on the name to verify that it is correctly identified. Avoid using 'cameras' or 'Axis cameras' unless the solution in related to visual analytics, otherwise prefer using 'Axis devices' to show that the FixedIT Data Agent also works with strobes, speakers, door stations, etc. Images used for the README should be placed in a directory called .images/ in the affected project folder. These images might also be referred to from other sources like the top-level README.md file.

⚙️ CodeRabbit Configuration File

**/*.md: Documentation files should clearly communicate the dual audience: (1) server-side dashboard users who want to keep agent with bundled configs, and (2) edge device developers who want to customize agent behavior. Ensure examples and instructions are appropriate for the intended skill level and use case. Since this is a public repository, we should not include any sensitive information, the instructions should be easily understandable for a wide audience, and we should avoid using any jargon or technical terms that are not commonly used.
Anchor Links: For headings that contain Unicode characters (emojis, special characters) or backticks, use HTML anchor tags to ensure consistent linking behavior across different platforms (GitHub, VS Code, etc.). Add a separate line with <a id="anchor-name"></a> before the heading, and update the table of contents to reference this manual anchor.

Learning: In the fixedit-data-agent-examples repository, shell portability requirements (such as Axis devices using POSIX /bin/sh instead of bash) should be documented in a general scripting guide rather than repeated in individual project README files. This approach was confirmed by daniel-falk for better documentation organization.

Learning: In the fixedit-ai/fixedit-data-agent-examples repository, when GitHub generates anchors for headings that contain backticks with spaces around them (like `### `filename` - Description`), it removes the backticks but preserves those spaces as dashes in the anchor, creating triple dashes (---) between the filename and description parts. TOC generators may not handle this correctly and need manual adjustment.

6-9: Good inclusion of DeleteOperation; verify downstream consumption

The dataset includes a DeleteOperation (Line 6) and a later reappearance of track_001 (Line 9), which is great for exercising reappearance/gap handling. Ensure your feeder emits operation events too; otherwise deletions won’t be visible to the pipeline and cleanup will only be time-based.

Would you like me to update the feeder here in the PR to emit DeleteOperation events and wire a corresponding branch in the Starlark to consume them?


1-18: Dataset looks consistent and fits the intended scenarios

Timestamps (with microseconds) and track timelines line up with the README’s expectations (e.g., track_001 spanning ~11.33s including the short gap). This should drive the threshold tests well.

project-time-in-area-analytics/README.md (1)

349-354: Numbers align with data; keep the term “time in area” (not “dwell”)

The durations listed match the sample data and the implemented semantics (bridging gaps < 60s). Good that the term “time in area” is used consistently (avoid “dwell time” per PR note).

project-time-in-area-analytics/track_duration_calculator.star (2)

3-35: Timestamp parsing is robust for fractional seconds

Manual fraction handling + fixed Zulu format provides microsecond precision and matches the dataset. Good.


36-62: Reduce side effects in get_time_in_area_seconds

Calculates time in area for each detected object using the external Starlark script `track_duration_calculator.star`. This processor:

- Tracks first seen and last seen timestamps for each `track_id`
- Calculates `time_in_area_seconds` for each detection
- Automatically cleans up stale tracks (not seen for 60+ seconds)
- Outputs debug messages when tracks are removed

Gate debug removals by a debug flag to reduce noise

The text promises debug messages on stale-track removal. Implement and document that debug messages are only emitted when a debug flag is set.

Apply:

 - Automatically cleans up stale tracks (not seen for 60+ seconds)
-- Outputs debug messages when tracks are removed
+- Optionally outputs debug metrics when tracks are removed (enable by setting DEBUG_ENABLED=true in the Starlark script or via config)

I can wire this into the Starlark and config in this PR so it’s off by default but easy to enable.

update the Starlark and documentation so those debug logs are gated by a boolean
debug flag (off by default). Modify track_duration_calculator.star to accept a

Gate debug removals behind a flag; clarify “always add it” note; initialize/update state in apply()

  • Initialize track entries and update last_seen in apply(), keeping get_time_in_area_seconds side-effect-free.
  • Emit removal debug metrics only if a DEBUG_ENABLED flag is set.
  • Clarify that time_in_area is always added because the next processor (config_process_threshold_filter.conf) performs filtering.

If you prefer a config-driven flag instead of hardcoding state["DEBUG_ENABLED"], I can wire it via the Telegraf Starlark plugin variables.

In project-time-in-area-analytics/track_duration_calculator.star around lines 85
to 121, the apply() function must initialize and update per-track entries
(first_seen and last_seen) in state["track_state"] so get_time_in_area_seconds
stays side‑effect‑free; add or update the track's entry and last_seen inside
apply() before calling get_time_in_area_seconds, ensuring new entries set
first_seen and last_seen to current_seconds. Gate any debug removal/emission
logic behind a DEBUG_ENABLED flag in state (or a config-driven variable) so
debug metrics are only emitted when enabled. Also keep the comment that
time_in_area_seconds is always added because filtering is performed by the
downstream config_process_threshold_filter.conf.

❌ Time-in-Area Analytics Tests Failed

Some tests did not pass:

Track Heatmap Viewer: failure
Telegraf Pipeline: failure

What This Means

Track Heatmap Viewer Issues:

  • The visualization script may not be correctly identifying tracks that exceed time-in-area thresholds
  • Check the alarm detection logic in track_heatmap_viewer.py

Telegraf Pipeline Issues:

  • The time-in-area calculation or threshold filtering may not be working correctly
  • Check the Starlark processor in track_duration_calculator.star and threshold filter configuration

85-94: Fill in compatibility details; TODOs block users from knowing what works

Placeholders for AXIS OS and FixedIT Data Agent compatibility should be concrete per repo guidelines. This also aligns with prior review feedback.

Apply:

 ### AXIS OS Compatibility
 
-- **Minimum AXIS OS version**: TODO
-- **Required tools**: TODO
+- Minimum AXIS OS version: <fill in, e.g., 11.6 or 12.x>
+- Required tools on device:
+  - message-broker-cli (preinstalled on recent AXIS OS)
+  - SSH access enabled (dev mode user or equivalent)
+
+Notes:
+- On AXIS OS 12+, SSH root is disabled; use the FixedIT Data Agent dev user.
 
 ### FixedIT Data Agent Compatibility
 
-- **Minimum Data Agent version**: 1.0
-- **Required features**: TODO
+- Minimum FixedIT Data Agent version: 1.0
+- Required features:
+  - Starlark processor enabled
+  - JSON input and JSON output plugins
+  - MQTT output (if using alerts to broker)

To verify consistency across docs, run a quick scan for remaining “TODO” placeholders in this project:

#!/bin/bash
rg -n -C1 -g 'project-time-in-area-analytics/**' '\bTODO\b'

95-102: Quick Setup section is empty; add a minimal end-to-end guide

A concrete quick start is required by the template. Reusing the prior suggestion.

 ## Quick Setup
-
-### Troubleshooting
+1) Clone this repo and cd into project directory:
+   git clone https://github.com/fixedit-ai/fixedit-data-agent-examples.git
+   cd fixedit-data-agent-examples/project-time-in-area-analytics
+
+2) Host testing (no device required):
+   - Install Telegraf on your workstation
+   - Export env for sample data:
+     HELPER_FILES_DIR="$(pwd)"; export HELPER_FILES_DIR
+     SAMPLE_FILE="test_files/simple_tracks.jsonl"; export SAMPLE_FILE
+   - Run time-in-area only:
+     telegraf --config test_files/config_input_sample_data.conf \
+              --config config_process_track_duration.conf \
+              --config test_files/config_output_stdout.conf \
+              --once
+
+3) On-device testing (Axis device required):
+   - Ensure FixedIT Data Agent is installed and running on the device
+   - Upload config files from this folder into the agent’s helper files
+   - Configure MQTT endpoint or stdout (for testing) in the output config
+   - Start the pipeline and monitor logs (enable Debug temporarily)
+
+4) Optional: record real device data to use as SAMPLE_FILE:
+   python test_scripts/record_real_data.py --host <device_ip> --username <dev_user> -o test_files/real_device_data.jsonl
+

96-99: Troubleshooting note is helpful—tighten phrasing and scope

Minor tightening for readability; keep the message while avoiding repetition.

-**Message Broker Connection Errors**: If you encounter errors like `❌ Command error: Failed to create data connection` when running the recording script, this typically indicates that the SSH user does not have sufficient privileges to subscribe to the message broker.

116-119: Clarify processor responsibilities and “always add it, filter later” pattern

Docs should explicitly state the dataflow contract between processors so readers understand why events are passed downstream unfiltered and filtered later.

 ### config_process_threshold_filter.conf
 
-Filters detection frames based on the configured alert threshold. Only detections where time in area (`time_in_area_seconds`) exceeds `ALERT_THRESHOLD_SECONDS` are passed through to the output stage.
+Filters detection frames based on the configured alert threshold. Only detections where time in area (`time_in_area_seconds`) exceeds `ALERT_THRESHOLD_SECONDS` are passed through to the output stage.
+
+Design note:
+- The time-in-area calculator emits metrics for all detections (unfiltered) to keep that processor pure and reusable. Thresholding is intentionally a separate concern handled here. This “produce everything; filter in next processor” pattern simplifies testing and reconfiguration.

109-115: Reduce side effects in the time-in-area function (Starlark) for testability

To meet the PR objective of reducing side effects, split state management from pure computation in track_duration_calculator.star. Keep a pure function like compute_time_in_area(prev_state, detection) -> (new_state, time_in_area_seconds) and perform Telegraf mutations (adding fields/metrics) outside the pure function.

I can draft the Starlark refactor and update the README to reflect the cleaner separation if you’d like.

54-64: Fix misleading comment about auth order in connect()

-        # Use threading for timeout instead of signals
+        # Use threading for timeout instead of signals:
+        # - signal.alarm is not portable (doesn't work on Windows) and cannot be used reliably in threads

+        # - We join the threads after setting `finished` to ensure deterministic cleanup

111-115: Intentionally non-daemon threads + explicit shutdown (justify choice)

To address the “daemon thread” question: keeping these threads non-daemon ensures controlled shutdown and avoids abrupt termination that can leave SSH channels open. Let’s document that decision inline.

-        reader_thread = threading.Thread(target=read_output)
-        error_thread = threading.Thread(target=read_errors)

AutoAddPolicy is acceptable for a test script, but we should at least warn users or use WarningPolicy. Optional improvement.

918-920: Rephrase “output from FixedIT Data Agent analytics” to avoid inaccuracy

The viewer accepts JSONL from test files or from a Data Agent pipeline, not necessarily “analytics output” directly. Clarify wording per PR TODO.

824-827: Inline the short string truncation with a ternary (style SIM108)

Small style cleanup per Ruff.

-        if len(class_type) > 4:
-            class_short = class_type[:4] + "."
-        else:
-            class_short = class_type

320-370: Docstring return type is outdated—function returns Frame, not a tuple

The docstring still states it returns a tuple; the function returns a Frame. Fix to avoid confusion.

-    Returns:
-        Tuple of (Frame object, set of track IDs found in this frame)
+    Returns:
+        Frame object parsed from the JSON line

870-873: Consider including track count of alarms in verbose output too

You already show the overlay in the plot; optionally echo the number of alarm tracks for headless runs even when --no-ui is set.

-    stats_text = (

         f"Tracks: {heatmap_data.num_tracks} | Frames: {heatmap_data.num_frames} | "

     )

And for headless mode, you could also click.echo(stats_text) in main when no_ui is True.

project-*/**

⚙️ CodeRabbit Configuration File

project-*/**: Each example project for the FixedIT Data Agent should be self-contained and designed as a standalone example / tutorial showing how to use the FixedIT Data Agent. The project should be well documented and include all the necessary files to run the example. A reader should be able to understand the background and the purpose of the project, and be able to understand the implementation details and how to use it. If the project includes a dashboard, it should be placed in a new folder in the repo-root/dashboard-deployments/ directory instead of being included in the project folder. In the README for the project, the first time the FixedIT Data Agent is mentioned, we should link to the product page: https://fixedit.ai/products-data-agent/ Emphasize that these solutions are accessible to system integrators and IT professionals without requiring complex C/C++ ACAP development. Highlight that custom edge intelligence can be implemented using familiar IT tools (configuration files, shell scripts, REST APIs) rather than traditional embedded programming approaches. Note that bash does not exist on the Axis devices, so .sh scripts should be written in portable shell syntax.
README Structure: All project README files should follow the standardized template at .project_readme_template.md. This template ensures consistent documentation that serves both audiences: (1) IT professionals who want plug-and-play solutions, and (2) developers who want to customize and extend the examples. The template enforces a logical structure: 1) Introduction and background (project purpose, how it works, why choose this approach) 2) Technical explanation and quick start guide (compatibility, setup, troubleshooting) 3) Developer-oriented notes (local testing, implementation details)
Key README Requirements: - Include compatibility sections for both AXIS OS and FixedIT Data Agent versions - Explain host testing and its limitations and why certain parts require actual Axis d...

**/*

⚙️ CodeRabbit Configuration File

This repository serves FixedIT Data Agent users across a spectrum from plug-and-play dashboard deployment to advanced edge device customization. Consider whether changes maintain accessibility for both DevOps professionals (server-side focus) and developers (edge customization focus). If new features are added or existing ones changed significantly, ensure documentation clearly explains the intended audience and usage level. We use prettier for formatting of common file formats like markdown, yaml, json, etc. Example projects should be placed in the repo-root in a directory named project-*/. Whenever referencing Axis device model names like "D4100-VE mk II" or "M3045", prefix it with "AXIS" in capital letters (e.g. "AXIS D4100-VE mk II"). When using Axis as a company name, use "Axis Communications", note that all-caps is only used when "AXIS" is used in their product names, not their company name. When using the name of an Axis product, google on the name to verify that it is correctly identified. Avoid using 'cameras' or 'Axis cameras' unless the solution in related to visual analytics, otherwise prefer using 'Axis devices' to show that the FixedIT Data Agent also works with strobes, speakers, door stations, etc. Images used for the README should be placed in a directory called .images/ in the affected project folder. These images might also be referred to from other sources like the top-level README.md file.

**/*.md

⚙️ CodeRabbit Configuration File

**/*.md: Documentation files should clearly communicate the dual audience: (1) server-side dashboard users who want to keep agent with bundled configs, and (2) edge device developers who want to customize agent behavior. Ensure examples and instructions are appropriate for the intended skill level and use case. Since this is a public repository, we should not include any sensitive information, the instructions should be easily understandable for a wide audience, and we should avoid using any jargon or technical terms that are not commonly used.
Anchor Links: For headings that contain Unicode characters (emojis, special characters) or backticks, use HTML anchor tags to ensure consistent linking behavior across different platforms (GitHub, VS Code, etc.). Add a separate line with <a id="anchor-name"></a> before the heading, and update the table of contents to reference this manual anchor.

Learning: In the fixedit-data-agent-examples repository, shell portability requirements (such as Axis devices using POSIX /bin/sh instead of bash) should be documented in a general scripting guide rather than repeated in individual project README files. This approach was confirmed by daniel-falk for better documentation organization.

Learning: In the fixedit-ai/fixedit-data-agent-examples repository, when GitHub generates anchors for headings that contain backticks with spaces around them (like `### `filename` - Description`), it removes the backticks but preserves those spaces as dashes in the anchor, creating triple dashes (---) between the filename and description parts. TOC generators may not handle this correctly and need manual adjustment.

765-775: Nice validation output: per-track alarm counts

Printing alarm-bearing tracks and counts helps compare with Telegraf results. This fulfills the “add visualization/validation aids” objective.


699-706: Title and legend setup is solid and readable

The separation between 3-color and 4-color modes with proper normalization is well done.


29-34: Legend colors include unclassified state—aligns with data sparsity

Good call including an “Unclassified” state to reflect early frames before classification resolves.

❌ Time-in-Area Analytics Tests Failed

Some tests did not pass:

Track Heatmap Viewer: failure
Telegraf Pipeline: success

What This Means

Track Heatmap Viewer Issues:

  • The visualization script may not be correctly identifying tracks that exceed time-in-area thresholds
  • Check the alarm detection logic in track_heatmap_viewer.py

85-94: Fill in Compatibility details; TODOs block usability

The Compatibility section still contains TODOs for AXIS OS and FixedIT Data Agent features. Per repo guidelines/template, these must be explicit and actionable.

Proposed structure to replace placeholders (fill with your actual minimums):

 ### AXIS OS Compatibility
-
-- **Minimum AXIS OS version**: TODO
-- **Required tools**: TODO
+  
+- Minimum AXIS OS version: <fill in, e.g., 11.6 or 12.x>
+- Required tools on device:
+  - message-broker CLI (preinstalled on recent AXIS OS)
+  - SSH access enabled (dev mode user or equivalent)

 ### FixedIT Data Agent Compatibility
-
-- **Minimum Data Agent version**: 1.0
-- **Required features**: TODO
+  
+- Minimum FixedIT Data Agent version: 1.0
+- Required features:
+  - Starlark processor enabled
+  - JSON input and JSON output plugins
+  - MQTT output (if using alerts to broker)

95-99: Quick Setup section is empty; add a minimal end-to-end guide

The template requires a concrete Quick Setup before Troubleshooting so users can run the example immediately.

Apply:

 ## Quick Setup
-
-### Troubleshooting
+1) Clone and enter the project:
+   git clone https://github.com/fixedit-ai/fixedit-data-agent-examples.git
+   cd fixedit-data-agent-examples/project-time-in-area-analytics
+
+2) Host testing (no device required):
+   - Install Telegraf
+   - export HELPER_FILES_DIR="$(pwd)"; export SAMPLE_FILE="test_files/simple_tracks.jsonl"
+   - Run time-in-area only:
+     telegraf --config test_files/config_input_sample_data.conf \
+              --config config_process_track_duration.conf \
+              --config test_files/config_output_stdout.conf \
+              --once
+
+3) On-device testing (AXIS device):
+   - Ensure FixedIT Data Agent is installed and running
+   - Upload helper/config files from this folder into the agent
+   - Configure output (MQTT or stdout) and start the pipeline
+   - Monitor logs; disable Debug after testing
+
+4) Optional: record real device data for SAMPLE_FILE:
+   python test_scripts/record_real_data.py --host <device_ip> --username <dev_user> -o test_files/real_device_data.jsonl
+
+### Troubleshooting

111-115: Gate track-removal debug output behind a debug flag

Docs currently claim unconditional debug output on stale-track removal. Align with PR objectives by gating this behind a debug flag so production runs aren’t noisy.

-- Outputs debug messages when tracks are removed
+- Optionally outputs debug metrics when tracks are removed (enable by setting DEBUG_ENABLED=true in the Starlark script/config)

If you want, I can wire DEBUG_ENABLED into track_duration_calculator.star and the sample configs in this PR.

76-88: Document minimum required privileges for authentication

Guidelines require specifying minimum privileges and encouraging least privilege. Add a short note indicating the recommended user role/access (dev-mode user with broker access) instead of root, especially for AXIS OS 12+.

 ### AXIS OS Compatibility
@@
 - **AXIS OS < 12**: You can SSH as root without restrictions:
@@
 - **AXIS OS 12+**: SSH as root is disabled. Regular SSH users cannot access the message broker. If you are a [Technology Integration Partner](https://www.axis.com/partner/technology-integration-partner-program), you can enable dev mode in the camera (instructions included in [this e-learning course](https://learning.fixedit.ai/spaces/11778313/content)) and use the FixedIT Data Agent user:
   ```bash
   python record_real_data.py --host <device_ip> --username acap-fixeditdataagent

921-923: Clarify wording about data source

“the output from FixedIT Data Agent analytics” is a bit vague. Recommend clarifying to “detection messages produced by the FixedIT Data Agent pipeline” to match the Data Transformation section.

622-704: Extract colormap setup to reduce locals in _setup_alarm_heatmap_plot (optional)

Pylint’s R0914 (too-many-locals) may trigger in both _setup_alarm_heatmap_plot and render_heatmap. To streamline these functions, consider:

  • Extracting the colormap and norm construction into a helper, e.g. def _build_heatmap_cmap(show_alarm: bool) -> Tuple[ListedColormap, Optional[BoundaryNorm], int, str]
  • Moving any stats‐overlay or annotation logic into a separate function

To verify whether R0914 is currently flagged, run:

pylint project-time-in-area-analytics/test_scripts/track_heatmap_viewer.py \
  --disable=all --enable=R0914

Also applies to lines 799–889 in the same file.

project-*/**

⚙️ CodeRabbit Configuration File

project-*/**: Each example project for the FixedIT Data Agent should be self-contained and designed as a standalone example / tutorial showing how to use the FixedIT Data Agent. The project should be well documented and include all the necessary files to run the example. A reader should be able to understand the background and the purpose of the project, and be able to understand the implementation details and how to use it. If the project includes a dashboard, it should be placed in a new folder in the repo-root/dashboard-deployments/ directory instead of being included in the project folder. In the README for the project, the first time the FixedIT Data Agent is mentioned, we should link to the product page: https://fixedit.ai/products-data-agent/ Emphasize that these solutions are accessible to system integrators and IT professionals without requiring complex C/C++ ACAP development. Highlight that custom edge intelligence can be implemented using familiar IT tools (configuration files, shell scripts, REST APIs) rather than traditional embedded programming approaches. Note that bash does not exist on the Axis devices, so .sh scripts should be written in portable shell syntax.
README Structure: All project README files should follow the standardized template at .project_readme_template.md. This template ensures consistent documentation that serves both audiences: (1) IT professionals who want plug-and-play solutions, and (2) developers who want to customize and extend the examples. The template enforces a logical structure: 1) Introduction and background (project purpose, how it works, why choose this approach) 2) Technical explanation and quick start guide (compatibility, setup, troubleshooting) 3) Developer-oriented notes (local testing, implementation details)
Key README Requirements: - Include compatibility sections for both AXIS OS and FixedIT Data Agent versions - Explain host testing and its limitations and why certain parts require actual Axis d...

**/*

⚙️ CodeRabbit Configuration File

This repository serves FixedIT Data Agent users across a spectrum from plug-and-play dashboard deployment to advanced edge device customization. Consider whether changes maintain accessibility for both DevOps professionals (server-side focus) and developers (edge customization focus). If new features are added or existing ones changed significantly, ensure documentation clearly explains the intended audience and usage level. We use prettier for formatting of common file formats like markdown, yaml, json, etc. Example projects should be placed in the repo-root in a directory named project-*/. Whenever referencing Axis device model names like "D4100-VE mk II" or "M3045", prefix it with "AXIS" in capital letters (e.g. "AXIS D4100-VE mk II"). When using Axis as a company name, use "Axis Communications", note that all-caps is only used when "AXIS" is used in their product names, not their company name. When using the name of an Axis product, google on the name to verify that it is correctly identified. Avoid using 'cameras' or 'Axis cameras' unless the solution in related to visual analytics, otherwise prefer using 'Axis devices' to show that the FixedIT Data Agent also works with strobes, speakers, door stations, etc. Images used for the README should be placed in a directory called .images/ in the affected project folder. These images might also be referred to from other sources like the top-level README.md file.

**/*.md

⚙️ CodeRabbit Configuration File

**/*.md: Documentation files should clearly communicate the dual audience: (1) server-side dashboard users who want to keep agent with bundled configs, and (2) edge device developers who want to customize agent behavior. Ensure examples and instructions are appropriate for the intended skill level and use case. Since this is a public repository, we should not include any sensitive information, the instructions should be easily understandable for a wide audience, and we should avoid using any jargon or technical terms that are not commonly used.
Anchor Links: For headings that contain Unicode characters (emojis, special characters) or backticks, use HTML anchor tags to ensure consistent linking behavior across different platforms (GitHub, VS Code, etc.). Add a separate line with <a id="anchor-name"></a> before the heading, and update the table of contents to reference this manual anchor.

Timestamp: 2025-08-10T14:54:48.316Z
Learning: In the fixedit-data-agent-examples repository, shell portability requirements (such as Axis devices using POSIX /bin/sh instead of bash) should be documented in a general scripting guide rather than repeated in individual project README files. This approach was confirmed by daniel-falk for better documentation organization.

Learning: In the fixedit-ai/fixedit-data-agent-examples repository, when GitHub generates anchors for headings that contain backticks with spaces around them (like `### `filename` - Description`), it removes the backticks but preserves those spaces as dashes in the anchor, creating triple dashes (---) between the filename and description parts. TOC generators may not handle this correctly and need manual adjustment.

98-99: Good troubleshooting guidance

Clear callout for typical broker access errors and the AXIS OS 12+ limitation. This will save users time.

Comment on lines 344 to 684
Both tools now behave identically, calculating total time-in-area including brief gaps under 60 seconds. If a gap is longer than 60 seconds (should not happen in data from the Axis cameras!?), then the Telegraf pipeline would forget about the track and the time-in-area would be reset to 0 once the track reappears.

💡 Verification agent

🧩 Analysis chain

Enforce stale-gap reset parity or adjust claim

README claims both tools reset time-in-area after gaps > 60s. The viewer’s implementation currently does not reset (it tracks only “first seen”). Either implement the reset logic in the viewer (preferred; see code review on track_heatmap_viewer.py) or adjust this claim.

After applying the code change suggested in track_heatmap_viewer.py, run these checks locally to confirm parity on the sample data:

Enforce stale-gap reset parity or adjust README

The README states that both tools reset time-in-area after gaps > 60 s, but the viewer script in
project-time-in-area-analytics/test_scripts/track_heatmap_viewer.py (in _create_alarm_matrix) does not implement this reset—it only records “first seen.”

Either:

  • Implement gap-reset logic in _create_alarm_matrix (e.g. track last_seen, compare timestamps, and zero the accumulator when gap > 60 s), or
  • Remove/modify the “reset to 0 once the track reappears” claim in README.md to reflect current behavior.

Affected locations:

  • project-time-in-area-analytics/test_scripts/track_heatmap_viewer.py:501+ (def _create_alarm_matrix)
  • project-time-in-area-analytics/README.md:344–345

def _create_alarm_matrix (lines ~501+) and README.md lines 344–345: the viewer
currently only records "first seen" and does not reset the time-in-area
accumulator when a track has a gap >60s as the README claims; to fix, modify
_create_alarm_matrix to track per-track last_seen timestamps and when processing
a new detection compute delta = current_ts - last_seen, and if delta > 60s reset
the track's accumulated time-in-area to zero before adding the new interval,
then update last_seen to current_ts; alternatively, if you prefer not to change
behavior, update README.md to remove or reword the assertion that the viewer
resets time-in-area after >60s gaps so documentation matches current
implementation.

85-94: Replace TODOs in compatibility with actionable details

Compatibility sections still contain TODOs. Per repo guidelines, these must be explicit and actionable.

Proposed structure (fill exact versions/features you support):

 ### AXIS OS Compatibility

-- **Minimum AXIS OS version**: TODO
-- **Required tools**: TODO
+- Minimum AXIS OS version: <fill exact>
+- Required tools on device:
+  - message-broker-cli (preinstalled on recent AXIS OS)
+  - SSH access enabled (dev mode user or equivalent)
+
+Notes:
+- On AXIS OS 12+, SSH root is disabled; use the FixedIT Data Agent dev user.
+- .sh scripts must be POSIX sh (bash is not present on Axis devices).

 ### FixedIT Data Agent Compatibility

 - **Minimum Data Agent version**: 1.0
-- **Required features**: TODO
+- Required features:
+  - Starlark processor enabled
+  - JSON input and JSON output plugins
+  - MQTT output (if using alerts to broker)

If you want, I can open a follow-up PR once you confirm the minimum AXIS OS version.


95-101: Quick Setup is empty; add a minimal end-to-end guide

Add a succinct, actionable quick start before Troubleshooting so users can run the example immediately.

 ## Quick Setup
-
-### Troubleshooting
+1) Clone this repo and cd into project directory:
+   git clone https://github.com/fixedit-ai/fixedit-data-agent-examples.git
+   cd fixedit-data-agent-examples/project-time-in-area-analytics
+
+2) Host testing (no device required):
+   - Install Telegraf on your workstation
+   - Export env for sample data:
+     HELPER_FILES_DIR="$(pwd)"; export HELPER_FILES_DIR
+     SAMPLE_FILE="test_files/simple_tracks.jsonl"; export SAMPLE_FILE
+   - Run time-in-area only:
+     telegraf --config test_files/config_input_sample_data.conf \
+              --config config_process_track_duration.conf \
+              --config test_files/config_output_stdout.conf \
+              --once
+
+3) On-device testing (Axis device required):
+   - Ensure FixedIT Data Agent is installed and running on the device
+   - Upload config files from this folder into the agent’s helper files
+   - Configure MQTT endpoint or stdout (for testing) in the output config
+   - Start the pipeline and monitor logs (enable Debug temporarily)
+
+4) Optional: record real device data to use as SAMPLE_FILE:
+   python test_scripts/record_real_data.py --host <device_ip> --username <dev_user> -o test_files/real_device_data.jsonl
+
+### Troubleshooting

111-115: Gate debug-removal metrics behind a debug flag

Docs say “Outputs debug messages when tracks are removed” but this should be optional to reduce noise.

 - Automatically cleans up stale tracks (not seen for 60+ seconds)
-- Outputs debug messages when tracks are removed
+- Optionally outputs debug metrics when tracks are removed (enable by setting DEBUG_ENABLED=true in the Starlark script or via config)

I can wire this into track_duration_calculator.star and config in this PR so it’s off by default.


344-345: Enforce 60s stale-gap reset parity or adjust claim

README claims both tools reset after >60s gaps, but the viewer currently doesn’t implement this. Either implement reset in the viewer or reword the claim.

If you accept implementing parity, apply the viewer change in the linked review (see comment on track_heatmap_viewer.py Lines 569–619). After updating, verify parity:

`312-321`: **Clarify validation flow and align wording with project outputs**

Add a short “Validation” note linking how to compare alarm counts between the viewer and Telegraf pipeline on the same dataset. Also avoid implying the viewer strictly consumes “output from FixedIT Data Agent analytics”; it can consume this project’s JSONL format.

81-86: Clarify “threading for timeout” rationale

Add a brief rationale for using threads (portable across platforms; signal/alarm isn’t reliable on Windows and conflicts within libraries).

-        # Use threading for timeout instead of signals
+        # Use threading for timeout instead of signals:
+        # - Works cross-platform (signal/alarm is Unix-only and not thread-safe)
+        # - Avoids interfering with libraries that also use signal handlers

54-64: Connection method comment contradicts implementation

The comment says “Try key first, then password,” but connect() prefers password if provided. Align the comment to avoid confusion.

-        # Try connecting with key first, then password if provided
+        # Use password auth when provided; otherwise attempt key-based auth

49-64: Optional: fail fast on unknown hosts or allow user-supplied host key policy

Auto-adding host keys is convenient for tests but unsafe by default. Consider allowing a flag to control host key policy or document that this is test-only.

If you want, I can add a --insecure-auto-add-host-key flag defaulting to False, and use RejectPolicy unless the flag is set.


84-110: Stream output instead of buffering all lines in memory (optional)

Accumulating all lines can spike memory on long recordings. Using a thread-safe queue to yield incrementally keeps memory bounded.

I can provide a small refactor using queue.SimpleQueue to push lines from the reader thread and yield them in run_command() loop until timeout.

project-*/**

⚙️ CodeRabbit Configuration File

project-*/**: Each example project for the FixedIT Data Agent should be self-contained and designed as a standalone example / tutorial showing how to use the FixedIT Data Agent. The project should be well documented and include all the necessary files to run the example. A reader should be able to understand the background and the purpose of the project, and be able to understand the implementation details and how to use it. If the project includes a dashboard, it should be placed in a new folder in the repo-root/dashboard-deployments/ directory instead of being included in the project folder. In the README for the project, the first time the FixedIT Data Agent is mentioned, we should link to the product page: https://fixedit.ai/products-data-agent/ Emphasize that these solutions are accessible to system integrators and IT professionals without requiring complex C/C++ ACAP development. Highlight that custom edge intelligence can be implemented using familiar IT tools (configuration files, shell scripts, REST APIs) rather than traditional embedded programming approaches. Note that bash does not exist on the Axis devices, so .sh scripts should be written in portable shell syntax.
README Structure: All project README files should follow the standardized template at .project_readme_template.md. This template ensures consistent documentation that serves both audiences: (1) IT professionals who want plug-and-play solutions, and (2) developers who want to customize and extend the examples. The template enforces a logical structure: 1) Introduction and background (project purpose, how it works, why choose this approach) 2) Technical explanation and quick start guide (compatibility, setup, troubleshooting) 3) Developer-oriented notes (local testing, implementation details)
Key README Requirements: - Include compatibility sections for both AXIS OS and FixedIT Data Agent versions - Explain host testing and its limitations and why certain parts require actual Axis d...

**/*

⚙️ CodeRabbit Configuration File

This repository serves FixedIT Data Agent users across a spectrum from plug-and-play dashboard deployment to advanced edge device customization. Consider whether changes maintain accessibility for both DevOps professionals (server-side focus) and developers (edge customization focus). If new features are added or existing ones changed significantly, ensure documentation clearly explains the intended audience and usage level. We use prettier for formatting of common file formats like markdown, yaml, json, etc. Example projects should be placed in the repo-root in a directory named project-*/. Whenever referencing Axis device model names like "D4100-VE mk II" or "M3045", prefix it with "AXIS" in capital letters (e.g. "AXIS D4100-VE mk II"). When using Axis as a company name, use "Axis Communications", note that all-caps is only used when "AXIS" is used in their product names, not their company name. When using the name of an Axis product, google on the name to verify that it is correctly identified. Avoid using 'cameras' or 'Axis cameras' unless the solution in related to visual analytics, otherwise prefer using 'Axis devices' to show that the FixedIT Data Agent also works with strobes, speakers, door stations, etc. Images used for the README should be placed in a directory called .images/ in the affected project folder. These images might also be referred to from other sources like the top-level README.md file.

**/*.md: Documentation files should clearly communicate the dual audience: (1) server-side dashboard users who want to keep agent with bundled configs, and (2) edge device developers who want to customize agent behavior. Ensure examples and instructions are appropriate for the intended skill level and use case. Since this is a public repository, we should not include any sensitive information, the instructions should be easily understandable for a wide audience, and we should avoid using any jargon or technical terms that are not commonly used.

Learning: In the fixedit-ai/fixedit-data-agent-examples repository, when GitHub generates anchors for headings that contain backticks with spaces around them (like `### `filename` - Description`), it removes the backticks but preserves those spaces as dashes in the anchor, creating triple dashes (---) between the filename and description parts. TOC generators may not handle this correctly and need manual adjustment.

⚠️ Potential issue

Actually print sample lines after recording

You announce a sample preview but never print the first lines. Read the file and print the first three.

329 to 345, the script announces "Sample of recorded data (first 3 lines):" but
never actually prints the sample; after successfully recording (line_count > 0)
open the output_file, read the first three non-empty lines (or first three lines
if simpler), and print them using click.echo (preserve existing formatting and
handle fewer than three lines gracefully). Ensure the file is closed (use with
open(...)) and handle any IO errors by logging a brief warning instead of
crashing.

20-22: Fix invalid TOC anchor and add the missing Prerequisites section

The TOC link for “Features & Example Output” points to a non-existent anchor (MD051). Also, “Prerequisites” appears in TOC but is missing in the document. Align TOC and add the section.

Apply this diff to fix the anchor and keep the TOC entry:

-  - [Features & Example Output](#features--example-output)
+  - [Features & Example Output](#features-example-output)
   - [Prerequisites](#prerequisites)

Append this section at the end of the file:

+## Prerequisites
+
+- Python 3.10+ with pip
+- A workstation with matplotlib-capable environment (for interactive plots) or use --no-ui
+- Network access to your AXIS device for real-data recording (optional)
+- test_scripts/requirements.txt installed in your active environment:
+  pip install -r requirements.txt
project-time-in-area-analytics/README.md (3)

425-426: Parity claim depends on viewer implementing 60s stale-gap reset; currently not true

The README states both tools reset time-in-area after >60s gaps. The viewer’s _create_alarm_matrix currently doesn’t implement last-seen tracking or reset. Either implement the reset (preferred; see suggested diff in track_heatmap_viewer.py review) or adjust the README claim.

If you keep the claim, please add the gap-reset in the viewer and run the CI workflow to confirm the parity scenarios still pass.


103-105: Fill in Quick Setup; TODO blocks users from running the example

Per repo template, Quick Setup must be concrete and minimal so users can run E2E without guesswork.

 ## Quick Setup
-
-### TODO
+1) Clone and enter project:
+   git clone https://github.com/fixedit-ai/fixedit-data-agent-examples.git
+   cd fixedit-data-agent-examples/project-time-in-area-analytics
+
+2) Host testing (no device required):
+   - Install Telegraf and jq on your workstation
+   - Export env for sample data:
+     HELPER_FILES_DIR="$(pwd)"; export HELPER_FILES_DIR
+     CONSUMER_SCRIPT="test_files/sample_data_feeder.sh"; export CONSUMER_SCRIPT
+     SAMPLE_FILE="test_files/simple_tracks.jsonl"; export SAMPLE_FILE
+   - Run time-in-area only:
+     telegraf --config config_input_scene_detections.conf \
+              --config config_process_track_duration.conf \
+              --config test_files/config_output_stdout.conf \
+              --once
+
+3) Full pipeline with threshold (e.g., 2s):
+   export ALERT_THRESHOLD_SECONDS="2"
+   telegraf --config config_input_scene_detections.conf \
+            --config config_process_track_duration.conf \
+            --config config_process_threshold_filter.conf \
+            --config test_files/config_output_stdout.conf \
+            --once
+
+4) Optional: record real device data to use as SAMPLE_FILE:
+   python test_scripts/record_real_data.py --host <device_ip> --username <dev_user> -o test_files/real_device_data.jsonl
+
+### Troubleshooting

165-166: Gate debug removals under a debug flag (do not always emit)

Doc promises debug on removals; per objectives, make them optional (off by default) to reduce noise.

569-619: Implement 60s stale-gap reset to match pipeline and README

Alarm logic doesn’t reset after long gaps; it only uses first_seen. Track last_seen and reset first_seen when gap exceeds a stale threshold (e.g., 60s). This aligns with the Telegraf processor and README parity claim.

15-16: Fix default script name and clarify relative path semantics.

Comments say the default is axis_metadata_consumer.sh, but the actual default is axis_scene_detection_consumer.sh. Also clarify that CONSUMER_SCRIPT is relative to HELPER_FILES_DIR to avoid users providing absolute paths that will be incorrectly prefixed.

Apply this diff to align the comments:

-# - CONSUMER_SCRIPT: Path to consumer script (defaults to axis_metadata_consumer.sh)
+# - CONSUMER_SCRIPT: Consumer script filename relative to HELPER_FILES_DIR (defaults to axis_scene_detection_consumer.sh)
-  # Default: axis_metadata_consumer.sh (live camera)
-  # Override: Set CONSUMER_SCRIPT to use different script (e.g., test_files/sample_data_feeder.sh)
+  # Default: axis_scene_detection_consumer.sh (live camera)
+  # Override: Set CONSUMER_SCRIPT to use a different script relative to HELPER_FILES_DIR (e.g., test_files/sample_data_feeder.sh)

Also applies to: 26-27


28-31: Make command resolution robust (absolute CONSUMER_SCRIPT, and fail fast if HELPER_FILES_DIR is unset).

As written, if HELPER_FILES_DIR is unset the constructed path becomes “/axis_scene_detection_consumer.sh” (leading slash), which will likely fail. Also, if users set CONSUMER_SCRIPT to an absolute path, it will be incorrectly prefixed with HELPER_FILES_DIR. Use a small POSIX sh wrapper to handle both cases and to error out cleanly when HELPER_FILES_DIR is missing.

Apply this diff:

-  command = [
-    "${HELPER_FILES_DIR}/${CONSUMER_SCRIPT:-axis_scene_detection_consumer.sh}"
-  ]
+  command = [
+    "sh",
+    "-c",
+    'CS="${CONSUMER_SCRIPT:-axis_scene_detection_consumer.sh}"; case "$CS" in /*) exec "$CS" ;; *) exec "${HELPER_FILES_DIR:?HELPER_FILES_DIR unset}/$CS" ;; esac'
+  ]

32-35: Add restart backoff and document the “no signals” rationale (aligns with PR TODO on threading vs signals).

Good choice to set signal = "none". Add a small restart backoff so Telegraf doesn’t thrash on rapid exits, and document why signals are avoided (timeouts/reloads should be handled internally by the consumer, e.g., threads/timers, and graceful SIGTERM).

   # No signal handling - let the script run continuously
   # The script will keep running and outputting JSON until Telegraf stops
   signal = "none"
+  # Rationale: avoid signal-based timeouts/reloads; the consumer should manage its own timeouts
+  # (e.g., via threads/timers) and exit cleanly on SIGTERM from Telegraf during shutdown.
+  # If the consumer process exits unexpectedly, Telegraf will restart it after this delay:
+  restart_delay = "5s"

43-45: Promote object_type to a tag for easier filtering (bounded cardinality).

This keeps filtering/snapping by type efficient downstream. Avoid tagging track_id due to high cardinality.

   # String fields that should be preserved as strings during JSON parsing
   json_string_fields = ["timestamp", "track_id", "object_type", "frame"]
+  # Promote low-cardinality strings to tags for filtering:
+  tag_keys = ["object_type"]

36-39: Use event timestamps for accurate metrics

Your input data uses ISO-8601 timestamps with microsecond precision (e.g. "2024-01-15T10:00:01.123456Z"), so you can have Telegraf stamp metrics with the actual event time instead of ingestion time. If you want Telegraf to use the "timestamp" field:

• Add (or uncomment) in config_input_scene_detections.conf (around lines 36–39 and 43–45):

# Use event time as the metric timestamp
# json_time_key    = "timestamp"
# json_time_format = "2006-01-02T15:04:05.000000Z07:00"  # or "RFC3339Nano"

• Then remove "timestamp" from your json_string_fields:

- json_string_fields = ["timestamp", "track_id", "object_type", "frame"]
+ json_string_fields = ["track_id", "object_type", "frame"]

If you’re intentionally keeping "timestamp" as a string for later parsing in Starlark, you can ignore this.

project-*/**

⚙️ CodeRabbit Configuration File

project-*/**: Each example project for the FixedIT Data Agent should be self-contained and designed as a standalone example / tutorial showing how to use the FixedIT Data Agent. The project should be well documented and include all the necessary files to run the example. A reader should be able to understand the background and the purpose of the project, and be able to understand the implementation details and how to use it. If the project includes a dashboard, it should be placed in a new folder in the repo-root/dashboard-deployments/ directory instead of being included in the project folder. In the README for the project, the first time the FixedIT Data Agent is mentioned, we should link to the product page: https://fixedit.ai/products-data-agent/ Emphasize that these solutions are accessible to system integrators and IT professionals without requiring complex C/C++ ACAP development. Highlight that custom edge intelligence can be implemented using familiar IT tools (configuration files, shell scripts, REST APIs) rather than traditional embedded programming approaches. Note that bash does not exist on the Axis devices, so .sh scripts should be written in portable shell syntax.
README Structure: All project README files should follow the standardized template at .project_readme_template.md. This template ensures consistent documentation that serves both audiences: (1) IT professionals who want plug-and-play solutions, and (2) developers who want to customize and extend the examples. The template enforces a logical structure: 1) Introduction and background (project purpose, how it works, why choose this approach) 2) Technical explanation and quick start guide (compatibility, setup, troubleshooting) 3) Developer-oriented notes (local testing, implementation details)
Key README Requirements: - Include compatibility sections for both AXIS OS and FixedIT Data Agent versions - Explain host testing and its limitations and why certain parts require actual Axis d...

⚙️ CodeRabbit Configuration File

This repository serves FixedIT Data Agent users across a spectrum from plug-and-play dashboard deployment to advanced edge device customization. Consider whether changes maintain accessibility for both DevOps professionals (server-side focus) and developers (edge customization focus). If new features are added or existing ones changed significantly, ensure documentation clearly explains the intended audience and usage level. We use prettier for formatting of common file formats like markdown, yaml, json, etc. Example projects should be placed in the repo-root in a directory named project-*/. Whenever referencing Axis device model names like "D4100-VE mk II" or "M3045", prefix it with "AXIS" in capital letters (e.g. "AXIS D4100-VE mk II"). When using Axis as a company name, use "Axis Communications", note that all-caps is only used when "AXIS" is used in their product names, not their company name. When using the name of an Axis product, google on the name to verify that it is correctly identified. Avoid using 'cameras' or 'Axis cameras' unless the solution in related to visual analytics, otherwise prefer using 'Axis devices' to show that the FixedIT Data Agent also works with strobes, speakers, door stations, etc. Images used for the README should be placed in a directory called .images/ in the affected project folder. These images might also be referred to from other sources like the top-level README.md file.

**/*.md

⚙️ CodeRabbit Configuration File

**/*.md: Documentation files should clearly communicate the dual audience: (1) server-side dashboard users who want to keep agent with bundled configs, and (2) edge device developers who want to customize agent behavior. Ensure examples and instructions are appropriate for the intended skill level and use case. Since this is a public repository, we should not include any sensitive information, the instructions should be easily understandable for a wide audience, and we should avoid using any jargon or technical terms that are not commonly used.
Anchor Links: For headings that contain Unicode characters (emojis, special characters) or backticks, use HTML anchor tags to ensure consistent linking behavior across different platforms (GitHub, VS Code, etc.). Add a separate line with <a id="anchor-name"></a> before the heading, and update the table of contents to reference this manual anchor.

Learning: In the fixedit-data-agent-examples repository, shell portability requirements (such as Axis devices using POSIX /bin/sh instead of bash) should be documented in a general scripting guide rather than repeated in individual project README files. This approach was confirmed by daniel-falk for better documentation organization.

Learning: In the fixedit-ai/fixedit-data-agent-examples repository, when GitHub generates anchors for headings that contain backticks with spaces around them (like `### `filename` - Description`), it removes the backticks but preserves those spaces as dashes in the anchor, creating triple dashes (---) between the filename and description parts. TOC generators may not handle this correctly and need manual adjustment.

🔇 Additional comments (3)
project-time-in-area-analytics/axis_scene_detection_consumer.sh (1)

43-58: LGTM: JSONL unpack and transformation match the documented schema

The sed filter and jq transformation correctly normalize frame events to per-detection JSON, compatible with the processing pipeline. Good use of -c for compact output.

project-time-in-area-analytics/config_input_scene_detections.conf (2)

24-31: LGTM on execd usage and consumer wiring.

Continuous execd, array-style command, and environment-driven script selection are all appropriate for this pipeline’s real-time ingestion.


40-42: Confirmed “detection_frame” is used by downstream processors

Both downstream configs already reference the overridden measurement name:

  • project-time-in-area-analytics/config_process_track_duration.conf: namepass = ["detection_frame"]
  • project-time-in-area-analytics/config_process_threshold_filter.conf: namepass = ["detection_frame"]

No further changes required.

❌ Time-in-Area Analytics Tests Failed

Some tests did not pass:

Track Heatmap Viewer: failure
Telegraf Pipeline: failure

What This Means

Track Heatmap Viewer Issues:

  • The visualization script may not be correctly identifying tracks that exceed time-in-area thresholds
  • Check the alarm detection logic in track_heatmap_viewer.py

Telegraf Pipeline Issues:

  • The time-in-area calculation or threshold filtering may not be working correctly
  • Check the Starlark processor in track_duration_calculator.star and threshold filter configuration

fixedit-olatz and others added 2 commits November 7, 2025 22:11
This commit adds configuration and helper files for event support in the time-in-area example.
These files will monitor AOA detections and send a stateful event when a detection has been in the monitored zone for too long (expressed as active=1), as well as when the detection leaves the monitored area (expressed as active=0).
Add files for event support to time-in-area project

Bug: Incorrect Variable Logged for Time

The debug log message incorrectly logs $object_type for the time_in_area_seconds field. It should log $time_in_area instead. The message currently shows time_in_area_seconds: $object_type which logs the wrong variable value.

Bug: Logic Rejects Allowed Empty Values

The comment states "We allow object_type to be empty (null)" but the validation logic checks [ -z "$object_type" ] which rejects empty values. This contradicts the stated intention and will cause the script to exit with error 12 when object_type is null or empty, even though the comment says this should be allowed.

Bug: Error Messages Display Wrong Information

The error message format string has 3 placeholders but the arguments are misaligned. The third placeholder is labeled "timestamp" but receives $object_type instead of $timestamp. This causes the error message to display the object type value where the timestamp should be, making debugging more difficult. The fourth argument $timestamp is unused.

Bug: Validation rejects empty object_type despite comment allowing it

The comment on lines 307-309 explicitly states "We allow object_type to be empty (null) since this happens before the video object detection has been able to classify the object." However, line 312 includes [ -z "$object_type" ] in the validation condition, which causes the script to exit with error code 12 when object_type is empty. This means valid detections where the object classification hasn't completed yet will be incorrectly rejected, contradicting the stated intent.

Bug: Printf error message shows object_type as timestamp

The printf format string has 3 %s placeholders for displaying track_id, time_in_area_seconds, and timestamp, but 4 arguments are passed: $track_id, $time_in_area, $object_type, $timestamp. This causes the third placeholder labeled timestamp= to incorrectly display the $object_type value, while the actual $timestamp value is never shown. This produces misleading error messages that could confuse debugging efforts.
