        - [x] Start adding D1 and other buildings to the Dashboard
            - Due to the new addition to the building, we must classify in the code, otherwise IY has 1F and D1 also has 1F will cause the Dashboard to misjudge, and we use ap_group_Building and ap_group_floor to classify
            - Since the format is Building-floor-name, we searched the Python data to try to categorize it

        (**Time: 08.30-12.00**)

        (**Time: 13.00-17.30**)
- Today's summary
    - With the addition of more buildings, there may be a problem of classification, because Mr. Gao pays attention to the convenience of searching, so the function of classification is essential, at present, because the AP naming method is fixed, so we use the name of the split AP to do the classification

        - [x] Finally, confirm that the IY building has been fully completed(**Time: 08.30-12.00**)
            - It was found that when the results of the table search were entered, because there were few data matching the same ap name, the data of the previous five minutes (our data was uploaded every five minutes) was displayed together until the upper limit of 100 was filled
            ![](https://i.imgur.com/sGKMckp.png)

                - Solution 1: change the definition of the table so that it only displays a single batch of data for the last five minutes
                - Solution 2: Ask Advantech if can use a drop-down menu to adjust for a separate table, because the drop-down menu used by Advantech to adjust the time will change the time of the entire dashboard at once, and if there is a function that can be adjusted for the table, it meets our needs
                - I think we can try to see Method 2 first, because if Mr. Gao wants to see the detailed information for nearly half an hour, I think it will be more flexible
                - Add the question of Solution 2[疑問集](https://hackmd.io/XPLoPiVcTJSvAQ7rICeJOQ)
        - [x] Assist Lindsay in placing the icon in its place on each floor
            - Since the initial map must be pulled manually, it is a repetitive and easy to pick up task, but it takes a lot of time, so I helped Lindsay to make the composer progress faster
            ![](https://i.imgur.com/TwkDfPz.png)

        - [x] Discuss API related matters with Mr. Gao
            - The method of reacting to multiple requests to get complete information is not feasible, which places too much burden on the controller
            - The web version we use will directly show blank as long as the data is too large, and it is judged that Aruba has set a limit on the data size to promote its own products
            - After our discussions with Mr. Gao, we finally decided to abandon the idea of using the API

            - Senior Nam didn't know much either, so we took a moment to check it ourselves
            - After comparison, we believe that the program uses web crawlers to obtain data
(**Time: 08.30-09.00**)
        - [x] Start testing which APIs we currently use, because Aruba gives a lot of instructions (about 1000 pages of pdf), and there is no command that can simply call out all AP information, we need to use many instructions to get the complete information of an AP, each API must be run once, and need to check our Aruba version, sorted into the following table
        [API test](https://hackmd.io/6P2I_HECSIyqEdI1marvFQ)
        (**Time: 09.00-17.30**)

- Today's summary:
    - A lot of API commands were tested, some responded slowly, and some didn't show directly, but this didn't fit the logic of the teaching manual given by Aruba, according to the teaching manual, it should be able to run, and we need to study what is missing。
    - Using the API to send a request to the controller multiple times may also cause the burden of the controller, and we will make an appointment with Mr. Gao to ask him again
    - Many APIs have to be suffixed to use, for example, ap table can't be used, but ap table ap-name IY-1F-AP01 can, which means that we have to run hundreds of times to get all the information we want, we are not sure if this is a good method, we need to ask Mr. Gao again

        - [x] Study how MongoDB's syntax allows all AP names to be imported directly into the dashboard

            - At present, it is possible to directly import the ap name of the controller directly into the Dashboard, without the need to use the hand key like Senior Nam, which will be of great help to us when we do D1 in the future, and it will take a long time for D1 to slowly set up more than 400 APs
![](https://i.imgur.com/In8NYhp.png)
![](https://i.imgur.com/xz3Gqe8.png)
            - MongoDB's syntax is not all applicable to dashboards, only aggregate support can be used

        - [x] Discuss with Mr. Gao whether such a presentation is feasible
            - Mr. Gao doesn't care too much about the color, or how gorgeous the expression is
            - Mr. Gao told me that he hoped that the Table would not be folded and that he would like to finish within one line

        - [x] I began to deal with the line folding problem that Mr. Gao responded to, and encountered many difficulties
            - The Dashboard table is suspected to be unable to adjust the font size
            - It seems that the dashboard table cannot be adjusted in length or width individually, only two at a time, put it into our HackMD question and answer set, and let the team leader Mia hand it over to Advantech
            - Before Advantech replied, I tested adjusting the parameters in the dashboard, but I still couldn't use it
            (**更新:**)Advantech responded that the Dashboard has a bug, and after processing, it has been repaired and the font size can be adjusted, but the problem that the length and width cannot be changed separately has not yet been answered

- Today's summary
    - Advantech's platform has many features that do not provide tutorials, and there is very little information on the network, so it is difficult to do development, and we can only wait for Advantech engineers to answer our questions

            - Have a search box that can quickly find the network status report of a certain student on the Dashboard
            - Have a table on the Dashboard that displays all clients
            - Retain the classification function developed by senior Nam, and improve it to see if there is a more streamlined way of using it
            - Hope that the presentation of the remaining data can be replicated to look like Aruba's
            
            **The content of the Dashboard is as follows**
            - We need to retain historical data as much as possible on the Dashboard
            - We need to avoid data loss as much as possible on the Dashboard
            - We need to discuss whether it is possible to change the data source to use APIs instead
- Today's summary
    - We need to spend more time to supplement our professional knowledge. During the detailed discussion with Mr. Gao today, we were not familiar with many of the AP information (such as channel busy), so we didn't know how to present it better. Therefore, we may need to strengthen our understanding in this area.
    - We may need more practice with MongoDB syntax because we haven't used it much before except in class. There is a lot of code that even Senior Nam is not familiar with, and we cannot ask him for help, so we have to figure it out ourselves
    - There is very little online tutorial material on Dashboards, so I think it will take me some time to practice. If I have any questions, I will quickly ask Advantech for help.

    - Creating the system architecture diagram took me a lot of time, and I also put a lot of effort into thinking about how to present it, but I still don't think it's good enough. If there is an opportunity, I hope to discuss it with a senior who is knowledgeable in this area.
    - The current dashboard is inherited from the prototype created by Senior Nam, but there are many parts where we are not sure why it was designed this way. We spent some time confirming the accuracy of the data, but there are also some parts of the code that Senior Nam inherited from someone else, so he is also unsure.

        - [x] All dashboard data was tested (**Time: 10.00-11.00**)
            - It was found that the client data upload may be "null", causing the Dashboard table to delete the value of the item by itself
            - If multiple data appear on an AP, it may be that MongoDB has uploaded data repeatedly
            - Mia has been informed to improve
            
        - [x] Discuss with Mr. Gao via LINE about the needs, add a table on both AP and Client

            - Encountering difficulties, lacking experience in managing projects, it is hard to learn and produce a perfect architecture diagram like Ian's in a short period of time
            - Plan to study more materials from senior brother and sisters, as well as examples on the internet
            
            **note**:
            Some principles for making a system architecture diagram
            -   System architecture diagrams should clearly show the functions, components, relationships and boundaries of the system 
            -   System architecture diagrams should use consistent and easy-to-understand symbols, colors, fonts and layouts
            -   System architecture diagrams should keep simple and concise, avoiding unnecessary complexity and redundancy 
            -   System architecture diagrams should be consistent and synchronized with relevant documents and specifications

- Today's summary
    - Due to the lack of a precise definition of our goals earlier, we were able to reach a consensus through today's discussion.
    - Regarding the use of HackMD or project management, I think we may need to strengthen our skills.
