Services Config View - Broker or Concentrator General TabServices Config View - Broker or Concentrator General Tab

The General tab for a Broker or Concentrator in the Services Config helps manage basic service configuration, configure the aggregate service, and configure the aggregation process between a Broker or Concentrator and the aggregate service.

Configuring the aggregate service (whose data is consumed and aggregated) includes:

  • Adding, editing, and deleting Concentrators and Brokers as aggregate services
  • Toggling an aggregate service online and offline
  • Monitoring statistics for aggregate services
  • Starting and stopping aggregation

Configuring the aggregation process includes setting:

  • Aggregation autostart
  • Timing and performance parameters, such as the number of sessions per round of aggregation and time between rounds
  • The timing of attempts to restart, reconnect, or take offline a non-responsive aggregate service

Service HeartbeatService Heartbeat

In communicating with each aggregate service, Brokers and Concentrators monitor the heartbeat of the service. These parameters specify the timing of the first attempt to reconnect to a service after an error, the next attempt to reconnect, and taking the service offline after failure to reconnect.
