Errors During Alerting Means Possibly Skipped Alerts #22

Closed migueldingli1997 closed 4 years ago

migueldingli1997 commented 4 years ago

PANIC should have a mechanism to keep track of any latest alerts that were not transmitted due to any errors (up to some time or amount treshold). Errors in these scenarios are typically of a networking nature, such as when the alerter loses its internet connection and cannot transmit alerts, but can also be unexpected situations that cause the alerter to malfunction.

It will have to be decided whether to retransmit the alerts when possible, or just let the node operator know that some alerts were not transmitted. The former may confuse the operator if it is not made clear that these alerts are not about the present state of the alerter. A compromise between the two approaches will most likely be implemented.
