+# SA4CPS FTP Data Ingestion Service
+
+This service monitors the SA4CPS FTP server at `ftp.sa4cps.pt` and processes `.slg_v2` files for real-time energy monitoring data ingestion.
+
+## Overview
+
+The Data Ingestion Service provides comprehensive FTP monitoring and data processing capabilities specifically designed for the SA4CPS project. It automatically detects, downloads, and processes `.slg_v2` files from the FTP server, converting them into standardized sensor readings for the energy monitoring dashboard.
+
+## Architecture
+
+```
+ftp.sa4cps.pt (.slg_v2 files) 
+    ↓
+FTP Monitor (polls every 5 minutes)
+    ↓  
+Data Processor (supports multiple formats)
+    ↓
+Redis Publisher (3 topic channels)
+    ↓
+Real-time Dashboard & Analytics
+```
+
+## Features
+
+### FTP Monitoring
+- ✅ **Automatic Discovery**: Monitors `ftp.sa4cps.pt` for new `.slg_v2` files
+- ✅ **Duplicate Prevention**: Tracks processed files to avoid reprocessing
+- ✅ **Connection Management**: Maintains persistent FTP connections with automatic retry
+- ✅ **File Pattern Matching**: Supports `*.slg_v2` and custom file patterns

+
+# Follow specific log patterns
+docker-compose logs data-ingestion-service | grep "SA4CPS\|SLG_V2"
+```
+
+### Common Issues
+
+1. **FTP Connection Failed**
+   - Verify `FTP_SA4CPS_HOST` is accessible
+   - Check firewall/network settings
+   - Validate username/password if not using anonymous
+
+2. **No Files Found**
+   - Confirm `.slg_v2` files exist in the remote path
+   - Check `FTP_SA4CPS_REMOTE_PATH` configuration
+   - Verify file permissions
+
+3. **Processing Errors**
+   - Check data format matches expected `.slg_v2` structure
+   - Verify timestamp formats are supported
+   - Review file content for parsing issues
+
+## Development
+
+### Testing
+```bash
+# Run .slg_v2 format tests
+cd data-ingestion-service
+python test_slg_v2.py
+
+# Test SA4CPS configuration
+python sa4cps_config.py
+```
+
+### Extending File Support
+
+To add support for new file formats:
+
+1. Add format to `DataFormat` enum in `models.py`
+2. Implement `_process_your_format_data()` in `data_processor.py`
+3. Add format handling to `process_time_series_data()` method
+4. Update `supported_formats` list
+
+### Custom Processing Logic
+
+Override processing methods in `DataProcessor`:
+
+```python
+class CustomSA4CPSProcessor(DataProcessor):
+    async def _process_slg_v2_line(self, line, header, metadata, line_idx):
+        # Custom line processing logic
+        processed = await super()._process_slg_v2_line(line, header, metadata, line_idx)
+        
+        # Add custom fields
+        processed['custom_field'] = 'custom_value'
+        
+        return processed
+```
+
+## Support
+
+For issues or questions:
+1. Check service logs: `docker-compose logs data-ingestion-service`
+2. Verify configuration: `curl http://localhost:8008/sources`
+3. Test FTP connection: `curl -X POST http://localhost:8008/sources/{id}/test`
+4. Review processing status: `curl http://localhost:8008/processing/status`

+🚀 SA4CPS FTP Service Implementation Complete!
+
+📁 Key Files Created/Modified:
+  • data-ingestion-service/sa4cps_config.py - SA4CPS configuration
+  • data-ingestion-service/data_processor.py - Added .slg_v2 support  
+  • data-ingestion-service/startup_sa4cps.py - Auto-configuration script
+  • data-ingestion-service/models.py - Added SLG_V2 format
+  • docker-compose.yml - Added data-ingestion-service
+
+🔧 To Deploy and Run:
+
+1. Build and start the services:
+   cd microservices
+   docker-compose up -d data-ingestion-service
+
+2. Configure SA4CPS connection:
+   docker-compose exec data-ingestion-service python startup_sa4cps.py
+
+3. Monitor the service:
+   # Check health
+   curl http://localhost:8008/health
+   
+   # View data sources  
+   curl http://localhost:8008/sources
+   
+   # Check processing stats
+   curl http://localhost:8008/stats
+
+4. Manual FTP credentials (if needed):
+   # Update credentials via API
+   curl -X POST http://localhost:8008/sources/{source_id}/credentials \\
+        -H "Content-Type: application/json" \\
+        -d '{"username": "your_user", "password": "your_pass"}'
+
+📋 Environment Variables (in docker-compose.yml):
+  • FTP_SA4CPS_HOST=ftp.sa4cps.pt
+  • FTP_SA4CPS_USERNAME=anonymous  
+  • FTP_SA4CPS_PASSWORD=
+  • FTP_SA4CPS_REMOTE_PATH=/
+
+🔍 Features:
+  ✅ Monitors ftp.sa4cps.pt for .slg_v2 files
+  ✅ Processes multiple data formats (CSV, space-delimited, etc.)
+  ✅ Auto-detects headers and data columns
+  ✅ Intelligent unit inference
+  ✅ Publishes to Redis topics: sa4cps_energy_data, sa4cps_sensor_metrics, sa4cps_raw_data
+  ✅ Comprehensive error handling and monitoring
+  ✅ Duplicate file detection
+  ✅ Real-time processing status
