As many have observed over the last few months, new data uploads to Motus have experienced processing delays, which has led to a data backlog and is impacting timely data access. Diagnosing and stabilizing this issue requires more extensive maintenance than initially anticipated. However, we are cu…

I have had a tower online since November 23 where an active 166/Lotek-tagged bluebird has been proximate to the tower the entire time and zero detections have been recorded. I am certain the tag is transmitting because it has been verified by use of a portable Lotek receiver. Does this outage go a…

Motus Team, Thank you for the update! The sooner we know information like this the more time we can avoid spending in somewhat fruitless testing of tags and stations to try and self-diagnose problems. It is also very timely as many researchers must make decisions in the next few weeks on whether …

Hi Gregg, you shouldn’t be seeing a backlog going back to November. For the most part it’s been around 2-3 weeks. But there are lots of other potential factors that might be affecting why you aren’t seeing the tag that’s present. At least, there are other possible issues to rule out first… Deployme…

Hi Ken, 1 - the backlog should only go back to around the beginning of Jan. 2 - It’s more 166 related. 434 data follows a couple different pathways. Generally speaking, the handling by the Motus server is pretty minimal and is more related to file transfers rather than searching for tag IDs. There…

Are there any updates to the infrastructure maintenance?

Hi Garrett, yes, we just posted an update here . Apologies for the delay and please let us know if you experience any further issues.

Thank you for this update. As I manually upload additional detection files, I can tell that processing is moving faster and smoother as a result of work done. Having said that, as I sort through the 35+ stations I manage, I’m noticing some station data that either was not processed at all or not p…

Thanks so much for your patience with these processing issues. I’m looking into whether we can reprocess the data from your stations and I’ll get back to you by the end of the week with more information.
