Interval Notes

You will see these Interval notes in the Interval['notes'] list.

We do our best to automatically check the values in interval files we get from utilities but sometimes the structure of the data or of a particular file makes this impossible. In these situations, we add a note to the interval to make it clear that something is little strange so that you can double-check the source document to make sure the data is correct.

Attribute Format Description Example
type Note Type The type of note. See list below for list of types. "intervals_strange"
msg String A human readable description of the note. It may be tweaked often, so don't rely on it always staying the same for a given type. "Intervals over the November daylight savings switch have been known to be incorrect"
ts ISO8601 The timestamp of the note. "2018-04-24T12:34:56.102359+00:00"
 Extensible: We may extend this object type in the future, so be able to handle unknown attributes gracefully.
// Example intervals strange note
{
    "type": "interval_strange",
    "msg": "Intervals over the November daylight savings switch have been known to be incorrect",
    "ts": "2022-10-03T12:32:42.102367+00:00",
}
Type Description Additional Attributes
interval_strange The interval data doesn't make sense in some way, e.g. the timestamps the utility provided are missing time zone or daylight saving time information.
 Extensible: We may add variants to this enumeration type in the future, so be able to handle unknown values gracefully.
