From what I've read from the docs, the only way to request new device vitals is through the API or from the device console . I know I could use an event to trigger a webhook that would make a POST request to the Particle API to request new vitals, but this seems pretty cumbersome. Is there a functi…

[image] nrobinson2000: Is there a function in the firmware to send the device vitals event? Or better yet, is there a way to access these vitals from within the firmware in a struct or something?

This might be useful https://docs.particle.io/reference/api/#refresh-device-vitals I haven’t tried whether you can directly trigger this in a similar way to how you request the device name (which would be nice to have), but if it doesn’t you could always use a webhook. I think this is the part of…

Yes, you can query the diagnostics values from user firmware. I do that in the DeviceKeyHelperRK library to get the last connection error from diagnostics. The code to read out any value is here: rickkas7/DeviceKeyHelperRK/blob/master/src/DeviceKeyHelperRK.cpp#L197 } // [static] void…

@rickkas7 — thanks for this! Perhaps we should add this to the documentation on Diagnostics to help future folks with this?

[image] rickkas7: You can also use system_format_diag_data to get the whole block of JSON data. That would make it easy to have a subscription handler or function that gets the diagnostic data then publishes it. This is exactly what I'm looking for. How would I make a function to do that? UP…

Here is my new code: #include "Particle.h" #include "SparkJson/SparkJson.h" SYSTEM_THREAD(ENABLED); namespace { const Serial1LogHandler logHandler(115200, LOG_LEVEL_WARN, { { "app", LOG_LEVEL_ALL } }); const SerialLogHandler logHandler1(LOG_LEVEL_WARN, { …

The problem is that jsonDiagnosticData is called with tiny segments of the JSON, sometime only a single character, building up the data until system_format_diag_data returns. What you’ll want to do is append to a buffer all of the data you get in the callback, then process it all at once after syst…

Is it possible to publish an event or call a function to trigger the device vitals event?
