Status Page Not Updating

[BeckyBaltes]

@benjwadams @bobfrat @kerfoot, Please move to different repo if more appropriate. The status page, https://gliders.ioos.us/status/ has a most recent update of July 27 though the map clearly shows gliders reporting as of yesterday. Please investigate why it isn't updating.

@benjwadams any update on this? The status page is the primary means by which I check dataset status and it would be great if it worked. I believe that @lukecampbell had this running on a cronjob and it had been updating regularly prior to July 27. So, something must have happened since then to prevent the updates.

EDIT: Looks like the get_dac_status function in glider_dac_status/tasks.py is not running properly.

@kerfoot @BeckyBaltes , Applied a hotfix for now. If time_coverage_start or time_coverage_end aren't defined in the dataset, an unhandled exception was thrown, causing the status update to fail. In this case, the first particular dataset to cause this to fail was https://data.ioos.us/gliders/erddap/tabledap/Nemesis-20170512T0000.das which was missing time_coverage_start.

I set up a pull request at, https://github.com/ioos/glider-dac-status/pull/20 but haven't merged into master, as I don't know if you want to consider it an error that time coverage is not present. In any case, production is checked out on this branch for the time being so as to allow generation of the status page.

Status page is updating again. Closing.
