AQI data source is unreliable

[JeffreyGreenII]

Background

The KCRHA team requires Air Quality Index (AQI) in their determination for whether or not they activate volunteer resources and coordinate with other organizations.

Issue

We have utilized the AirNow.gov programs web services to gather the AQI for various locations & dates. However, we regularly run into issues with the responses from AirNow. There's little information on how, when, or why the responses are failing to be gathered/parsed/etc.

Proposed Solution

Before moving entirely to a new data source, we should add better monitoring/logging options to the application. These monitors/logs should be recorded locally on the machine running the application until we have a cloud deployment or other monitoring periphery system available to record these logs.

Any monitoring/logging solution should be extensible and allow for various different types of logs and monitors to be recorded across different components in the application, such as data collectors, data aggregators, data formatter, or notification service.
