 # assures that each error message gets individually printed to the log file.
 #
 # Module: arednsigAgent.py
 #
 # Description: This module acts as an agent between the aredn node
 # and aredn mest services.  The agent periodically sends an http
 # request to the aredn node, processes the response from
 # the node, and performs a number of operations:
 #     - conversion of data items
 #     - update a round robin (rrdtool) database with the node data
 #     - periodically generate graphic charts for display in html documents
 #     - write the processed node status to a JSON file for use by html
 #       documents

 # Revision History
 #   * v20 released 11 Jan 2020 by J L Owrey; first release
 #   * v21 released 13 Feb 2020 by J L Owrey; fixed bug occuring when node
 #     powers on and signal data memory is empty.  Data points with N/A data
 #     are discarded.
 #   * v22 released 31 Mar 2020 by J L Owrey; upgraded for compatibility with
 #     Aredn firmware version 3.20.3.0.  This agent now downloads the node's
 #     status page and parsed the signal data from the html.
b9676d21
 #   * v23 released 11 Jun 2021 by J L Owrey; remove unused code.
 #   * v24 released 14 Jun 2021 by J L Owrey; minor revisions
cd714b43
 #   * v25 released 9 Jul 2021 by J L Owrey; improved handling of
 #         node status function
