[arm-allstar] Allstar setup template error

Thu Feb 21 11:03:39 EST 2019

Jim,

Yes, I believe you have it correct.  The node number should match in all
three. BUT prior setups like you mention would not have the node number for
telemetry and maybe other stanzas like [events].  This is fine because most
users would use common stanzas for all their nodes. The key here is there
has to be a matching stanza for ALL   x=y  mappings.  So if you had the
first node as -

telemetry=telemetry1998

and the second node as

telemetry=telemetry1999

then you would need two telemetry stanzas

[telemetry1998]
.....

and

[telemetry1999]
.....
