I reiceive more and more lines like these above. Can I have the choice to store the data (or a track of it) in the database's acarsserv? I use your software and it's great!

Not so easy. Acarsserv stores acars messages in a database, but vdl mode 2 transmit not only acars but other data somes are stream and not messages oriented. Not easy to store that in a database designed for acars messages. And for compatibility reasons I don't want to change the database scheme.

What could be done , is to add these frames to the json output. There are already some "not acars" frames that are decoded and send in json . Ex :
{"timestamp":1536479723.4279661,"station_id":"radioser","channel":1,"freq":136.775,"icao":4197252,"dsta":"LPFR","lat":47.700000762939453,"lon":-3.7000000476837158,"alt":34000}

I could add the not decoded frame to json, but I don't really see the usage. By the way, your 2nd example of frame, is just a frame without any data (protocol frame). The only reason to log it is to record the plane addr.

In fact acarsserv was done for acarsdec originaly. I use it for vdlm2dec acars too, but a new json oriented dababase will be the real solution for full vdlm2 recording. (and thare will always the pb of data that are strams and not messages).

Perhap's I will add an option to output all the received frames to json, but I will not change acarsserv.

[TLeconte]

Just realize that acarslogger ask for near the same thing in #20 So I will probably add an option to log to json all receveid frames

There are some messages (appers to be ACARS) that can't be stored or decoded like that: [#1 (F:136.975 P:-22.2) 10/09/2018 10:09:52.422 -------------------------------- Command from Aircraft:4CA8F7 (airborne) to GroundD:212437 Frame-I: Ns:3 Nr:2 ACARS Aircraft reg: EI-IMJ Flight id: AZ0343 Mode: 2 Msg. label: H1 Block id: 1 Ack: !

Can store this?

[TLeconte]

Yes this ACARS message must have been stored. If it's not the case, it's a bug. Could yuo confirm that it had not be stored in db by acarsserv ?

[ziorick]

Confirm. No message stored. Could be interesting implement an http(s) method to send datas to a server?

And this message was not saved: [#1 (F:136.975 P:-21.9) 10/09/2018 23:53:11.287 -------------------------------- Command from GroundD:10F65A (on ground) to Aircraft:FFFFFF Frame-U: XID Specific options: VDA:ESN:IHN:BHN:BCN unknown private id 46 Airport coverage : LIRF ATN router nets : ADM: 584141 ARS : 0300A7 Station system mask : F00000 Station Position 41.8 12.3

[acarslogger]

This is not an acars message. This is a VDL2 Ground Station broadcast message. Every VDL2 ground station periodically send a broadcast message addressed to 'all aircraft' giving the ground station location (lat/lon) and closest airport.

Can u save these messages on database?

[TLeconte]

Just add -U -E and -G options for more configurable json output

Hopes it's sufficient
