Export component uptime and runtime information to a TSDB

[climategadgets]

Background: #146. Designing a truly fault tolerant solution to that problem is not time and cost effective. Sidestepping it and storing values in systems with different failure mode is a good mitigation method.

Task Definition

Design an adapter which would emit real time uptime and runtime information to an external TSDB.

Acceptance Criteria

A component uptime and runtime is observable in a TSDB.

Terms

• Component uptime: time from the moment the component has been turned on. Zero if it is currently off.
• Component runtime: Cumulative time from the moment observations were started (or reset) for the component.
