Data Classes

These classes are used to help create a standard way of polling from remote devices and reporting data back to the central pattoo server.

How Agents Poll Data

Follow this process if you are attempting to creating your own pattoo agent.

1. Agents poll devices for DataPoint values.
2. All the DataPoint values polled from a device are added to a TargetDataPoints object.
3. All the TargetDataPoints objects polled by an agent are packaged into a AgentPolledData object.
4. The AgentPolledData object is then posted to the pattoo API through phttp.Post()

Variable Class Descriptions

This section describes the PattooShared Variable Classes

Class	Description
DataPoint	Stores individual datapoints polled by pattoo agents
TargetDataPoints	Stores DataPoints polled from a specific ip_device.
AgentPolledData	Stores data polled by an agent from all its assigned ip_devices. The AgentPolledData object contains a list of TargetDataPoints objects.
AgentAPIVariable	Stores data used by pattoo APIs to serve data

pHTTP Class Descriptions

This section describes the PattooShared pHTTP Classes

These classes are used to help create a standard way of using HTTP to poll remote devices and report data back to the central pattoo server.

Class	Description
Post	Posts an AgentPolledData object created by an agent to a remote pattoo server.
PassiveAgent	Retrieves JSON data from pattoo agents that run their own webserver.
