Dismiss Notice
How Does This Work?

You create a free account and set a Gmail filter to forward your Ingress email damage reports.

The damage reports are processed in realtime into the Outgress analytics and alerting engine.

That's the short version.

Is This Allowed?

We believe so, but you decide.

But My Secret Data!

No one on the opposing faction cares who on their team is attacking you. Do you care who on your team is attacking opposing portals?

Implemented Ability To Import Historical Damage Reports

    For those that have email damage reports from before you were forwarding them into Outgress, there is a function I built tonight that will let you (easily) import all your historical damage reports. Still need to test it and add a bit more error checking, but it's more or less working. If anyone wants to help test it (and you have old email damage reports of course), let me know.

    I have a few past ones. Let me know how to proceed.

    Basically the function shows up on the normal forwarding help page, but only if you are logged in and you have forwarding already set up (didn't want to confuse people who thought they could just do that instead of set up forwarding).

    Well that was fun. Hehe.

    hah yeah... didn't think doing the level calcs for every single historical email was worth the overhead... will self-correct, the next real one that comes in. :)

    Also added a little floating dialog in the lower right now for those importing, they know what's going on...

    Is it "first come first served" for the portals/agents discovered stats? And will it go back to normal after 30 days?

    Yep... First person feeding data with it is the person who discovers. And the leaderboard us past 30 days, so yes.

    Side note - the import process no longer updates info about an existing agent or portal... So you won't end up as a lower level agent temporarily and portal names/images won't temporarily revert back to old versions.

    So, in the distant future would everybody eventually be zero once all the portals are no longer unique?

    digitalpoint Administrator Staff Member Illuminator Enlightened L15

    For portals discovered in the last 30 days, that certainly could be the case. At some point before the distant future though, Niantic should be back to adding new ones again, so...

    I assume you are talking about the Leaderboard?
     
  12. Question...I have 15k attack notifications but it said it was only importing @1k. Do I have to keep importing? Or is something not lining up in my email?

    NVM, it says 1000k threads. I'm assuming that takes a while to import.

    It will get them all. The number it gives is email "threads" because that's what the Gmail API gives. But Gmail consolidates damage report emails into 50 emails per thread internally.

    Unfortunately Gmail API can't give an estimate for emails. But it will get them all.

    About how long does it take after getting access via gmail of forward mails? I did it about 10-15 min ago but still can't see anything new in the email forwarding page on this website.

    digitalpoint Administrator Staff Member Illuminator Enlightened L15

    It should happen right away... Did nothing happen at all for you?

    Ah well I thought it would give instant access after the confirmation of forward, but it gave access once I had my first successful damage report (which I did due I tried flip my couch portal). So now it's solved

  17. Is there any way to just send you an mbox file with all historical damage reports? I feel a bit uncomfortable giving someone else read access to all my emails.
     
  18. digitalpoint

    digitalpoint Administrator Staff Member Illuminator Enlightened L15

    Yep there is actually. If you know how to export just your damage reports in mbox format, zip it up and stick it somewhere (like dropbox) and shoot me a private message (start conversation) with the location.

    I built it, but it's a bit of a support issue with trying to explain to people how to get their stuff into mbox format, how to zip it, how to upload it somewhere, etc. :)
