Issues with push monitor API with DataStream topics

Digi Remote Manager Device Manager
1

I created a monitor using the following configuration:

1206
2617
2012-12-19T21:38:52.947Z
2012-12-19T21:26:45.720Z
DataStream
tcp
json
1
none
ACTIVE
0

I’m able to successfully connect, but no update messages are ever sent. I can confirm that the actual data streams/data points are being updated in iDigi, but push updates are not being sent on the open TCP socket.

Please advise ASAP.

Through trial and error, we solved this issue. A few notes that might help others:

  1. You actually want to subscribe to the DataPoint monitor topic, not the DataStream monitor topic

  2. The JSON format that is sent is quite different than the data format that is returned from the DataStream API. The timestamp is a string in the DataStream API and a number in the push message (in both cases it is the milliseconds since 1970). Also, the DataStream API has a different structure, with the value being contained in a JSON subobject called “currentValue”, and the DataPoint push messages are a flat structure.
