## Overview
PiAlert comes with a simple plugin system to feed events from third-party scripts into the UI and then send notifications if desired.
If you wish to develop a plugin, please check the existing plugin structure.
## Plugin file structure overview
| File | Required | Description |
|----------------------|----------------------|----------------------|
| `config.json` | yes | Contains the plugin configuration including the settings available to the user. |
| `script.py` | yes | The Python script itself |
| `last_result.log` | yes | The file used to interface between PiAlert and the plugin (script). |
| `script.log` | no | Logging output (recommended) |
| `README.md` | no | Any setup considerations or overview (recommended) |
More on specific files below.
### script.log
Used to interface between PiAlert and the plugin (script). After every scan it should contain only the results from the latest scan/execution.
- The format is a `csv`-like file with the pipe `|` separator. 8 (eight) values need to be supplied, so every line needs to contain 7 pipe separators. Empty values are represented by `null`
- Don't render "headers" for these "columns"
- Every scan result / event entry needs to be on a new line
- You can find which "columns" need to be present in the script results and if the value is required below.
- The order of these "columns" can't be changed
| Order | Represented Column | Required | Description |
|----------------------|----------------------|----------------------|----------------------|
| 0 | `Object_PrimaryID` | yes | The primary ID used to group Events under. |
| 1 | `Object_SecondaryID` | no | Optionalsecondary ID to create a relationship beween other entities, such as a MAC address |
| 2 | `DateTime` | yes | When the event occured in the format `2023-01-02 15:56:30` |
| 3 | `Watched_Value1` | yes | A value that is watched and users can receive notifications if it changed compared to the previously saved entry. For example IP address |
| 4 | `Watched_Value2` | no | As above |
| 5 | `Watched_Value3` | no | As above |
| 6 | `Watched_Value4` | no | As above |
| 7 | `Extra` | no | Any other data you want to pass and display in PiAlert and the notifcations |

###### Supported settings types
- `RUN` - (required) Specifies when the service is executed
- Supported Options: "disabled", "once", "schedule" (if included then a `RUN_SCHD` setting needs to be specified), "always_after_scan", "on_new_device"
- `RUN_SCHD` - (required if you include the `RUN`) Cron-like scheduling used if the `RUN` setting set to `schedule`
- `CMD` - (required) What command should be executed.
- `API_SQL` - (optional) Generates a `table_` + code_name + `.json` file as per (API docs)[https://github.com/jokob-sk/Pi.Alert/blob/main/docs/API.md].
