How to get the Last successfully run?

Hi, 

I am coding a parser to collect data directly from my weather station (GW1000 Ecowiit).

I need to reset a rain accumulator counter to zero at first execution of each day.

The idea is to compare the last successfully date and the current execution date to check if they are different. If yes, I set the counter to zero.

rmGetStartOfDay(current_execution_timestamp) != rmGetStartOfDay(last_successfully_run_timestamp)

Is there an easy and immediate way to get the last successful run date/timestamp? Parser settings? ParserConfig?

I have a few other options that I would like to avoid:

1. Doing an API REST GET call to /api/4/parser (this requires authentication).
2. Use params to store the last execution timestamp (user can change this or default this, and the calculation will be invalid).

Please, share your thoughts.

 

Regards,

Pedro

  Meanwhile, I found that if I use an underscore as a prefix of a parameter., it became as read-only on the web UI.

  I will follow the parameter route but feel free to suggest another way to grab the last successful run date/Timestamp.

  Best way is to use: https://rainmachine.docs.apiary.io/#reference/weather-services/parser/get

  In the return code you have: 

  "lastRun": <timestamp>,
  "lastKnownError": "",
