Remote broker script #6

Open rubyvanrooyen opened 3 years ago

rubyvanrooyen commented 3 years ago

Unify the web scraping file output, the SALT visibility file output as well as the file output from time overlap evaluation scripts into a single remote broker script that can provide JSON output for parsing by a TOM Toolkit alert implementation.

Current target broker scripts:

SALTvisibility.py
GTIvsSALT.py

It should be noted that the initial implementation will add the remote broker functionality without remove the current file output scripts

Relates to project describing steps to port the current email alert system to the TOMs interface: Issues #3, #4, and #5

Remote broker script name TBD (for discussion something like SALT_Xray_Overlap.py or Xsats.py can be used)

The broker gather all the relevant information and output a JSON dictionary or list of JSON dictionaries containing the relevant information (suggested in issue #4 )

    "name":<str>, (default = name)
