Add tracking of exactly which samples have already been sent off to InfluxDB so that samples are neither missed nor repeated due to minor time deltas in OS task scheduling. For now, this is only being applied to bulk mode.
Make the -s option only apply to the first loop iteration for bulk mode, since subsequent loops will want to pick up all samples since prior iteration.
Also, omit the latency field from the data point sent to InfluxDB for samples where the ping drop is 100%. The raw history data apparently just repeats prior value in this case, probably because it cannot just leave a hole in the data array and there is no good way to indicate invalid.
Related to issue #5
Specific history data patterns would sometimes lead to some of the stats switching between int and float type even if they were always whole numbers. This should ensure that doesn't happen.
I think this will fix#12, but will likely require deleting all the spacex.starlink.user_terminal.ping_stats data points from the database before the type conflict failure will go away.
Unlike the status info scripts, these include support for setting host and database parameters via command line options. Still to be added is support for HTTPS/SSL.
Add a get_id function to the grpc parser module, so it can be used for tagging purposes.
Minor cleanups in some of the other scripts to make them consistent with the newly added scripts.
Move the "samples" stat out of the ping drop group of stats and into a new general stats group.
This way, it will make more sense if/when additional stat groups are added, since that stat will apply to all of them.
Moves the parsing logic that will be shared by some upcoming scripts out into a separate module.
There's still just as much duplication between the JSON parser and the grpc parser as there was before, but this should at least prevent further duplication of this logic.
This also adds some proper documentation for what each of the stats means.
