Monitor status of TREP connection

@cees.beekhuis, Your EMA application should receive the status messages when the connection to ADS is lost. You can also enable various logging options to capture message logs in the EMA api. Refer to configuration guide within development guides.

The TREP/ADS has a monitoring console and logs, which should outline the reason for dropped connection. Most commonly, it is the slow consumer, i.e. a consumer which is not processing messages fast enough, causing buffer overruns.

Hope this helps.

screenshot-of-ema-guides.pngHi Gurpreet,

Thank you for your response! What is the exact name of the development guide and what page number can I find the information for monitoring the status of a connection?

I clicked on your link and it shows me all the guides for EMA, but non of the guides is called 'configuration guide':

If you expand the section: Development and click on "Message API - C++ Development Guides", there will be a set of books, and one such book is called "EMA C++ Configuration Guide". The config guide will allow you to turn on the API message logging.

Realtime notifications on the state of connectivity to server will still happen through the API. See the example 333__Login__Streaming__DomainRep in the EMA examples which show how login stream can be used to monitor the state of connection.

From Readme:

The 333__Login__Streaming__DomainRepresentation showcases usage of login stream in OMM Consumer.
It demonstrates opening of login stream as well as its processing. Having
a login stream open is useful for consumer applications willing to do
Off Stream Posting and or knowing the state of its connectivity to server.

Thanks! I will take a look at this.

The string is for logging purposes. Refer to the ema.access.StatusMsg.state() which returns OMMState which has enumerations for Data, Stream and Status state.

This article provides insight into the item recovery and failover process, with an explanation of state messages.

@Gurpreet Hi, I read your previous post but failed to receive callback message. My application connects to two nginx proxies which either redirect traffic to one trep server. First I shutdown proxy 1, and see such message via stdout

then sdk tried the second proxy and print connect succ message:

Then I shutdown the second proxy, receving such stdout message:

loggerMsgEnd

The ipcConnecting() failure message continues until I start either of two proxies. But seen from my log, I found onStatusMsg() is not called, as I will print the message there. So my question is:

1) How can onStatusMsg() called back when connection to proxy/trep lost ?

2) Can I figure out which channel connection lost ? As my application connects to two proxies, if only one proxy lost connection, the app is still ok. But if two channels lost connection, I have to take my own action.

3) How to check if the callback statusMsg indicates connection lost or connection restablished succ?

Many thanks, expecting your reply.
