​
Parameters & Configuration

​
How do I add a parameter?

Check the JSON files in configs/parameters/. Parameters are defined there and picked up by Pinpoint on deploy. Each parameter definition includes:
  • The underlying model(s) and fields it maps to
  • Any post-processing or aggregations
  • How it is exposed in API responses

​
Hijri Calendar

​
How do I adjust Hijri dates?

Pinpoint loads a fallback Hijri calendar from Geoterra:
  • Fallback calendar: http://geoterra.devops.arabiaweather.com/hijri.json
  • Country-specific calendars: ./data/hijri/… inside the Pinpoint source
To adjust the Geoterra Hijri file, update it in the Redis cluster. For example: 
cat hijri.json | redis-cli -p 6380 -x SET geoterra:hijri.json
For Pinpoint itself, update the files in the repo under ./data/hijri/ and deploy a new tag.

​
Locations Management

​
How do I refresh the locations list (after adding a new location)?

Pinpoint automatically refreshes locations periodically (interval depends on configuration). To force a refresh immediately:
  • Send GET /refreshLocations to each container, or
  • Perform a forced service update / restart of all containers in the stack

​
Caching

​
What does Pinpoint cache?

Pinpoint caches ModMS data only. The cache key is constructed based on the requested model, location, time, and parameters. The cache item is stored as a hash map in Redis, where each field is a binary-encoded array of values.
The original cache key and encoding diagrams are available in the legacy documentation images.
