Why System Metrics leave blank data on my Statuspage while I'm sending data.

[Tim S]

Hello everyone,

I use Statuspage API to send data to my metrics every minute but after some moment (4hours) there is a blank In the graphic and I don't know why. I checked if my app was still sending data and yes I even receive response from the API. If I don't restart the app every time there would be no data for a while. 

And some times the data is filled 1 hour later, could it be from the cache of my browser ?

So I'm asking the community if I'm doing something wrong.

Code:

I'm using JavaScript, I've used the example that was given by Statuspage but I modified it a bit so it could work with the rest of my app.

First of all the condition on line 4 was effective but when I saw that there was a blank in the data and that this condition was true while sending the data (came from the code of Statuspage) I've decided to disabled it.  

So I don't know if the fact that I'm sending data every minute is an issue or I just need to care more attention at the data points (every 5 minutes)

If someone could help me...

Thanks for your time,

Tim S.

ps: If this code seems you non optimised don't worry it's test code.

async function submit(count, botping) {

    count = count + 1;

   console.log('submitting');

   //if(count > totalPoints) return;

   console.log('submitted');

   var url = apiBase + '/pages/' + pageId + '/metrics/' + metricId + '/data.json';
   

    var currentTimestamp = epochInSeconds - (count - 1) * 5 * 60;

    var randomValue = Math.floor(Math.random() * 1000);

   

    options1 = {

        method: 'POST',

        url,

        headers: {

            'Authorization': 'OAuth ' + apiKey,

            'Content-Type': 'application/json'

        },

        data: {

            data: {

            timestamp: currentTimestamp,

            value: botping,

            }

        }

    };

    console.log(options1);

    const res = await axios.request(options1).catch((error) => {

        console.log(error)

    });

    console.log(res.data.error); // That is the undifined on the screenshot

    console.log(res.data);

  }
