- New '3. Map dashboards & read-API' subsection: the three SPAs (liveposition, fleetintelligence, fleetnow), how dashboard_api is deployed (standalone bridge container, not Coolify), and that FleetNow lives in its own repo. - FIX-D03: fleetnow CORS origin + the deploy-script strip/guard fixes.

1. What This Project Is
Fleet telematics ingestion and analytics stack for a telco first-line support client operating in Nairobi, Mombasa, and Kampala. The client dispatches field technicians to install, repair, and maintain home and business broadband, handle LOS signal faults, service migrations, and maintain outside plant infrastructure. The fleet is ~80 vehicles across three cities, all tracked via Tracksolid Pro (Jimi IoT API).
This repository ingests the Tracksolid Pro API into a TimescaleDB/PostGIS database and visualises fleet and operational KPIs in Grafana. The pipeline is deployed on Coolify at stage.rahamafresh.com.
Repository: https://repo.rahamafresh.com/kianiadee/tracksolid_timescale_grafana_prod.git

Map dashboards & read-API
The map UIs read the dashboard_api service (FastAPI, dashboard_api_rev.py) at
https://fleetapi.rahamafresh.com — the stable replacement for the retired n8n webhooks. It serves
GeoJSON from the reporting.* functions (fn_live_positions, fn_vehicle_track, fn_trips_for_map)
- filter options.
dashboard_apiis a STANDALONE Traefik-labelled bridge container, NOT Coolify-managed — it bind-mounts the host file~/dashboard_api/dashboard_api_rev.pyand is (re)deployed by~/deploy_dashboard_api.shon the host (an env/CORS change needs a recreate, not a restart). Three single-page apps consume it:
| Dashboard | What | Hosting |
|---|---|---|
liveposition.rahamafresh.com |
live positions only | index.html in rustfs bucket liveposition behind an nginx proxy |
fleetintelligence.rahamafresh.com |
historical trips only | index.html in rustfs bucket fleetintelligence behind an nginx proxy |
fleetnow.rahamafresh.com |
merged live + trips (current best UI) | own repo repo.rahamafresh.com/kianiadee/fleetnow.git, deployed via Coolify (Dockerfile → nginx) |
All three origins must be in the API's DASHBOARD_CORS_ORIGINS (see FIX-D03). FleetNow is the
single source of truth for the merged map and lives in its own repo — edit it there, not here.

5. Database Schema — Key Tables
tracksolid.devices -- Device / driver / vehicle registry (63 rows; 0 driver_name populated)
-- IMEI mix: 353549* AT4 (23), 862798* X3/JC400P (23), 865135* X3/JC400P (10), 359857* (7)
-- Full CSV (144 devices) not yet imported — run import_drivers_csv.py --apply
tracksolid.live_positions -- Current fix per IMEI (19 rows; refreshed every 60s by ingest_movement)
tracksolid.position_history -- All GPS fixes (hypertable, partitioned by gps_time). ~519 rows (308 track_list + 211 poll).
-- pg_stat_user_tables shows 0 for hypertables — always COUNT(*) directly.
-- source: 'poll' (60s sweep) | 'track_list' (30m high-res)
tracksolid.trips -- Trip summaries: distance_km, driving_time_s, avg/max speed
tracksolid.parking_events -- Stop events with duration and address (0 rows — endpoint returning empty)
tracksolid.alarms -- Alarm events (alarm_type, alarm_name, alarm_time) — 10 rows, polling healthy
tracksolid.obd_readings -- OBD diagnostics (push only, awaiting webhook registration)
tracksolid.device_events -- Power on/off tamper events (push only)
tracksolid.ingestion_log -- API call audit trail — 875 runs / 24h, 0 failures at last check (2026-04-19)
tracksolid.schema_migrations -- Applied migrations 02–13
-- PURGED 2026-06-05 (migrations 12 + 13): the dormant `ops` schema (tickets, service_log,
-- odometer_readings, cost_rates, kpi_targets, vw_service_forecast), tracksolid.dispatch_log,
-- and the `dwh_gold` schema (dim_vehicles, fact_daily_fleet_metrics, refresh_daily_metrics).
-- Those workshop/dispatch/SLA/utilisation features were never implemented. Do NOT reintroduce
-- references to ops.* or dwh_gold.* — they no longer exist. (The separate tracksolid_dwh DB
-- at 31.97.44.246:5888 is unrelated and untouched.)
Full DDL: 02_tracksolid_full_schema_rev.sql + migrations 03–06.
Analytics views (migration 07_analytics_views.sql) — one view per BA-file query block, readable by grafana_ro:
tracksolid.v_fleet_today -- §9 per-vehicle today roll-up
tracksolid.v_vehicles_not_moved_today -- §2.3 alert source
tracksolid.v_active_dispatch_map -- §4.3 geomap source
tracksolid.v_currently_idle -- §2.2 idle lens
tracksolid.v_driver_aggregates_daily -- §3.1 + §3.2 aggression index source
tracksolid.v_fleet_km_daily -- §7 Panel 5 distance trend
tracksolid.v_alarms_daily -- §7 Panel 7 alarm frequency
-- v_utilisation_daily (dwh_gold) and v_sla_inflight (ops) were DROPPED 2026-06-05 with
-- their schemas (migrations 12/13); their Grafana panels were removed from the dashboard.
All views carry a COMMENT ON VIEW referencing their spec — \d+ tracksolid.v_* shows the provenance.
DWH bronze layer (separate DB tracksolid_dwh) — populated by the n8n dwh_extract + dwh_load_bronze workflows. Operational details in docs/DWH_PIPELINE.md.
-- bronze schema mirrors tracksolid.* (16 tables, DDL in dwh/260423_dwh_ddl_v1.sql)
bronze.devices, bronze.live_positions -- snapshot tables (TRUNCATE + reload)
bronze.position_history, bronze.trips,
bronze.alarms, bronze.parking_events,
bronze.device_events, bronze.ingestion_log -- incremental (watermark + ON CONFLICT DO NOTHING)
-- Schema drift: bronze.trips.distance_km vs source tracksolid.trips.distance_m
-- Extract SQL divides by 1000. Cross-ref FIX-M16.
-- dwh_control schema tracks pipeline state + observability
dwh_control.extract_watermarks -- one row per incremental table
dwh_control.extract_runs -- per-run audit log (status lifecycle)
dwh_control.v_table_freshness -- Grafana: load lag per table
dwh_control.v_recent_failures -- Grafana: failures in last 24h
dwh_control.v_watermark_lag -- Grafana: extract vs. load lag per table
6. API Critical Facts
Always read docs/reference/tracksolidApiDocumentation.md before adding a new endpoint call.
| Fact | Detail |
|---|---|
| Auth | OAuth2 — token cached in tracksolid.api_token_cache, refreshed via jimi.oauth.token.refresh |
| Signing | MD5: secret + sorted(k+v pairs) + secret — see build_sign() in ts_shared_rev.py |
| Batch limit | Max 50 IMEIs per call for most endpoints |
distance field |
Returns METRES, not km despite docs. Always divide by 1000. (FIX-M16) |
driverName/driverPhone |
From jimi.user.device.list — will be NULL if not set in Tracksolid Pro UI |
alarm_type field |
API polling returns alertTypeId/alarmTypeName — NOT alarmType/alarmName (FIX-E06) |
durSecond |
Parking endpoint returns durSecond, not seconds (FIX-M13) |
jimi.device.track.mileage |
startMileage/endMileage are cumulative odometer in metres |
| Rate limit | Code 1006 — back off and retry with re-sign (handled in api_post()) |
| OBD data | Push only via /pushobd webhook — no polling endpoint exists |
7. Fix History (do not regress)
| Fix ID | File | What it fixed |
|---|---|---|
| FIX-M11 | ingest_movement_rev.py |
Removed erroneous ×1000 on distance (was storing km as mm) |
| FIX-M13 | ingest_movement_rev.py |
Parking: added acc_type=0, account; mapped durSecond |
| FIX-M14 | ingest_movement_rev.py |
poll_track_list() — high-res GPS trail every 30m |
| FIX-M15 | ingest_movement_rev.py |
get_device_locations() — on-demand precision refresh |
| FIX-M16 | ingest_movement_rev.py |
distance from API is metres → divide by 1000 before storing |
| FIX-M17 | ingest_movement_rev.py |
sync_devices() ON CONFLICT now updates all 26 fields (was 5) |
| FIX-M18 | ingest_movement_rev.py |
sync_devices() pulls vehicleName/vehicleNumber/driverName/driverPhone/sim from jimi.track.device.detail — list endpoint returns null for these even when set |
| FIX-M19 | ts_shared_rev.py, ingest_movement_rev.py |
Multi-account support: fleet spans fireside, Fireside@HQ, Fireside_MSA (156 devices total). sync_devices, poll_live_positions, poll_parking iterate TRACKSOLID_TARGETS (comma-separated env var). New helper get_active_imeis_by_target() scopes parking calls to the right account |
| FIX-E06 | ingest_events_rev.py |
Alarm field mapping: alertTypeId/alarmTypeName/alertTime |
| BUG-02 | Migration 04 | Historical distance_m rows ÷1,000,000 → renamed to distance_km |
| FIX-D01 | dashboard_api_rev.py |
POST /webhook/fleet-dashboard read body as JSON, but the SPA posts x-www-form-urlencoded → request.json() threw, filters silently dropped, map always returned the whole fleet. Now parsed by Content-Type (parse_qs for form, JSON still accepted). Commit f1387d1 |
| FIX-D02 | dashboard_api_rev.py |
reporting.v_trips matview froze on 2026-06-01 when n8n (which ran the scheduled refresh) was retired → dashboard showed "no trips". Added an in-process background refresher (REFRESH MATERIALIZED VIEW CONCURRENTLY every VTRIPS_REFRESH_INTERVAL_S, default 300s; pg advisory-lock guarded for --workers; logs to reporting.refresh_log source=dashboard_api). Commit 30b3515 |
| FIX-D03 | dashboard_api_rev.py, ~/deploy_dashboard_api.sh (host) |
Added https://fleetnow.rahamafresh.com to DASHBOARD_CORS_ORIGINS default for the merged FleetNow dashboard. The standalone bridge container inherits its env from webhook_receiver, which already carries the old two-origin value — so the deploy script's conditional append never fired. The script now strips any inherited DASHBOARD_CORS_ORIGINS and sets all three origins unconditionally, and guards the mv so a missing staged dashboard_api_rev.py doesn't abort the run under set -e (env changes need a container recreate, not a restart). Commit d95e5c2 |
8. Working Rules
- No prod push without explicit user confirmation. Always state what you are about to push and wait.
- Never rewrite a migration that is already applied. Check
tracksolid.schema_migrationsfirst. Add a new numbered migration file for any schema change. - Read before writing. Before suggesting any code change, read the relevant source file. Before writing a query, check
docs/reference/01_BusinessAnalytics.mdfor an existing pattern. - Reuse shared utilities. All DB access via
get_conn(), all API calls viaapi_post(), all cleaning viaclean()/clean_num()/clean_int()/clean_ts()ints_shared_rev.py. Do not reinvent these. - Resolve container names dynamically. Never hardcode the Coolify suffix. Use
docker ps --filter name=<service>. - SSH only when asked. Default workflow is local code → commit → push. SSH into the instance only when explicitly asked to test or run something live.
- Secrets from env only. Connection strings, API keys, and passwords live in
.env. Reference variable names fromdocs/CONNECTIONS.md, never values. - Two developers, one incoming. Write code and docs that a second developer (mixed technical/operations background) can follow without prior context.
- Forgejo API auth: credentials stored in macOS keychain. Retrieve with
git credential fill(host=repo.rahamafresh.com). Use basic auth againsthttps://repo.rahamafresh.com/api/v1directly — noteaorghneeded. - Single live schema. All live data lives in
tracksolid; the map-dashboard read layer lives inreporting. Do not reintroduce references to the retiredtracksolid_2,ops, ordwh_goldschemas (the latter two purged 2026-06-05, migrations 12/13).
9. Fleet State (as of 2026-04-19)
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
Registered devices (tracksolid.devices) |
63 total — 23 × 353549* (AT4), 23 × 862798* + 10 × 865135* (X3/JC400P), 7 × 359857* |
| Devices in CSV not yet imported | 144 (X3/JC400P); import_drivers_csv.py --apply will upsert names + plates |
| Driver names populated | 0 / 63 — pending CSV import |
| Live positions | 19 (latest fix 2026-04-19 10:25 UTC) |
| Trips recorded | 8 (latest 2026-04-19 08:34 UTC) |
| Alarms recorded | 10 (latest 2026-04-19 09:15 UTC) |
position_history rows |
519 (308 track_list + 211 poll); hypertable stats don't update in pg_stat_user_tables — query directly |
| Pipeline status | Running healthy: 875 runs / 24h, 0 failures across all six endpoints |
| Cities active | Nairobi (primary), Mombasa (deploying), Kampala (4 devices in CSV) |
| Service flags | KDK 829A GP (239,264 km), Belta KCU-647D (235,000 km) |

10. Open Items (update as resolved)
| Priority | Item |
|---|---|
| HIGH | Redeploy the Grafana service in Coolify to apply daily_operations_dashboard.json — 5 panel areas (In-flight SLA, Idle Cost, Utilisation Heatmap, Row 7 Field-Service SLAs) that queried the now-dropped v_sla_inflight/v_utilisation_daily were removed. The DB views are already gone, so live Grafana shows errors on those panels until the redeploy (purge commit 8c5a43f, 2026-06-05). |
| HIGH | Run import_drivers_csv.py --apply — 144 X3/JC400P devices with names + plates waiting |
| HIGH | Register webhooks: /pushoil /pushtem /pushlbs (auto-register on push now done — commit 257643c) |
| HIGH | Investigate X3-63282 in Kampala — legitimate or unauthorised? |
| MEDIUM | Set fuel_100km per vehicle type to activate fuel cost calculations |
| MEDIUM | Investigate 44 silent devices (only 19 of 63 reporting) — SIM installed? Activated? |
| MEDIUM | Co-develop client KPI framework (see docs/KPI_FRAMEWORK.md) |
| LOW | Populate geofences — depot boundaries, city zones |
| HIGH | Deploy DWH bronze pipeline: apply dwh/26100{1,2,3,4}.sql to tracksolid_dwh, import + wire the two n8n workflows, verify first run via dwh_control.v_table_freshness. Runbook: docs/DWH_PIPELINE.md |
| MEDIUM | Rotate dwh_owner / grafana_ro passwords on tracksolid_dwh — plaintext in dwh/260423_dwh_ddl_v1.sql is a pre-existing flaw to clean up separately |
