Issue a GEOxxxxxI message every time an LCP SGC capture expires, including a creation timestamp in the message information

This would allow customers relying on LCP for cyber security to monitor the expiration of capture to ensure that no captures were being expired outside of agreed time limits.

    Fine idea. The message must be very precise and then automation on top.

    Has a relation with ZGDPS-I-167. With this message we can automate/signal on unexpected expiration of captures.

    Next to this, messages should be issued also when for example a capture is incomplete due to exceeding virtual capacity. (If I'm correct the capture is then not expired, can be tagged but contains incomplete volumes)

    We are currently exploring LCP SGC and have regulations to complete a certain amount of copies and maintain them for a certain bit of time. We also would like to monitor that cadence.

    Yes, this would allow for writing own automation / mails / warnings etc. when this occure.
