Alarm Messages
Alarms are sent using plain text messages formatted in similar manner as
observation message CSV. The actual message does not contain
linefeeds; the description below is split into two lines for readability.
(S:<StationName>;D:<YYMMDD>;T:<hhmmss>;
ALARM:<Alarm reason>;<ValueTag>:<Value>)
where
<StationName>
= Name of the observation site
<YYMMDD> = Message date UTC, for example 101126
<hhmmss> = Message time UTC, for example 085300
<Alarm reason> = Short description of the source
<ValueTag> = Message tag for the alarming value (optional)
<Value> = Value of the alarming variable (optional)
; = Separator character between fields
: = Separator character between tag and value
Example alarm message:
