general inqueries about traccar server

gpstester8 years ago

Hi,

I have few inquiries regarding traccar:

  1. Is each protocol listed fully supported? for instance aside from parsing coordinates, speed & direction, is any sensor data sent by devices automatically parsed & stored in the database? (for example, RFID readings, weight sensors, etc..)

  2. Can traccar be configured to work with an in-memory storage (such as memcached or redis) instead of writing records to database? or does it require customization?

  3. I noticed that traccar needs to open a port for each supported device (teltonika, etc..), can we set a unified port for all protocols & have traccar detect the type automatically?

4)What is the recommended way to run traccar under systemd? (under CentOS 7). I tried setting "use_systemd" to true but when doing "systemctl start traccar" the process hangs & then exits with an error code. should traccar work with "type=forking"?

Thanks.

  1. Additional data is fully supported for most protocols, but not all of them.

  2. Traccar can work with any JDBC-compatible database, but it also has in-memory cache, so technically you can make it work without database.

  3. No, it's not possible.

  4. Java Service Wrapper automatically handles service-related configuration.
