Client Site

Agent needs send "AdvHeartBeat" message ( refer to AdvHeartBeat Topic & Payload ) by period as below picture.

Server Site

Server would send "Get Capability" and "Change AdvHeartBeat sending rate" after receiving a "Connect Info" message.
Server updates latest update time after receiving a AdvHeartBeat message with its AdvHeartBeat Table( NoSQL ).
Server checks update time of AdvHeartBeat Table only.
If the latest update time is over timeout ( Note: This value is depend on Server. Recommend: 3 x send rate => 3 x 60 = 180 sec => tolerate drop 2 AdvHeartBeat MSG ).
1. If ( timeout & status is connected ) => changes status to disconnect & send a "Re-Connect" message to this device
If there is latest AdvHeartBeat message in "AdvHeartBeat Table" but there is not device information in device list table ( SQL ).
1. Server sends a re-connect message to this device.

Re-Connect Message

If Server aware any problem of a device's status/information. Server will send a "Re-Connect" Message to Agent. Agent will send a "Connect Info" to Server after receiving a re-connect message. You can refer below for detail.

How to confirm the Agent supports "AdvHeartBeat" protocol?

1. Check the version in deviceinfo

  Agent will support "AdvHeartBeat" in version "3.2".
          >= 3.2   : Agent supports AdvHeartBeat
          <  3.2   : Agent doesn't support AdvHeartBeat

2. Query the parameters of "AdvHeartBeat" by "Query parameters of "AdvHeartBeat"

Test Case

Overview of Testing

Expect

Server/Client need follow specification to implement "AdvHeartBeat Protocol".
Agent connection status on RMM Server must be correct in stable state.
AdvHeartBeat can fix "lost connect info message issue". This issue maybe introduce by running order or dropping message by broker or RMM Server.
AdvHeatBeat can fix "lost disconnect or will" message issue.

Server Site - Check by Self

Find all devices that its update time is over timeout from "AdvHeartBeat Table" & Check these devices is existing in "Device Table"
1. Yes -> If connection status is "On-line" change to "Off-line"
2. No -> Do Nothing
Find all devices that its update time is not over timeout from "AdvHeartBeat Table" & Check these devices is existing in "Device Table"
1. Yes -> If connection status is "Off-line" -> Send a "Re-Connect" message to this device
2. No -> Send a "Re-Connect" message to this device
Server can't misjudge earlier agent without "AdvHeartBeat"'s connection status to offline.
Server needs take care the network and cpu loading to induce misjudge. ( The frequency of drop "AdvHeartBeat Message" is too high or tolerance is too lower ).

Client Site - Check by Self

Agent's OS version must greater "3.2.5"
Agent sends "AdvHeartBeat Message" to Server in period
Agent sends "AdvHeartBeat Parameters" after receiving a "Query Parameter of AdvHeartBeat Message".
Agent will change and reply its "AdvHeartBeat Parameters" after receiving a "Setting AdvHeartBeat Message".
Agent sends "Connect Info Message" to Server after receiving a "Re-Connect Message".
Agent sends "OS Info", "Info Spec of all handler", "update values of IoTGW", and "Connect Info of all SenHub" while receiving a "Re-Connect Message".

Integration Test

RMM Server supports "AdvHeartBeat Protocol"
Agent without "AdvHeartBeat"
Agent with "AdvHeartBeat"

Test by Node-Red

Lost first "Connect Info Msg"
Lost "Disconnect Msg" and "Will Msg"
Continue lost 1~5 "AdvHeartBeat Message"

Network Environment

Unplug network cable 5 sec then plug-in.
Up-plug network cable 3 mins then plug-in.

Test by Manual

Broker and Agent client are started before RMM Server.
RMM Server restart

Node-Red for Test Case

Send Disconnect Msg

Drop Connect / Disconnect / AdvHeartBeat Msg

Check version of Agent

Check period of AdvHeartBeat rate

Get / Set AdvHeartBeat Params Get Capability, Re-Connect
