Characteristics

  • This integration is classified as a “Push” type, meaning SpoorTrack trackers send data to Gundi on their regular schedule, and Gundi immediately attempts to forward it to the destination specified in your Connection.

Final Steps

EarthRanger Settings

The following configurations are optional:

1. Select the data you want to see in the map.

1.1 Log in to EarthRanger as an admin (site.pamdas.org/admin).
1.2 Go to Source Providers.
1.3 Select the Source Provider created for this integration (e.g., "gundi_rumi_UUID")

The “Source Provider” is automatically created after Gundi successfully retrieves data from this integration and pushes it to EarthRanger. If you don't find it, please ensure your Connection includes a Destination, and review the Connection Activity Logs for additional details. You should see some records mentioning that Gundi successfully delivered data to EarthRanger.
Important Note:  The integration might take 5 minutes to run. Please verify your connection after this period.

1.4 Click on Subject Details Configuration.
1.5 Configure the additional information you would like to see on the map.

2. Assign your Subjects to a Subject Group.

Please refer to EarthRanger's documentation or contact Support.

Note on Latency

The time it takes for data to appear in your destination system depends on several factors, such as latency introduced by the source, network conditions, and intermediary systems. While these factors may vary, Gundi typically checks for available data at scheduled intervals (approximately every 5 minutes).

If data is not available in your system after this interval, please check the source of the data for its availability. If the issue persists, contact our Support team for assistance.

Troubleshooting

If your devices are not showing in your desired destination (e.g, EarthRanger or Movebank), you can try these steps:

  • Confirm if the data is available to SpoorTrack. Contact SpoorTrack if you don't have access to this information or if you suspect that the trackers are not sending data to SpoorTrack's services.
  • Ask our Support Team to investigate the connection between SpoorTrack and your destination.
