MQTT Connection Status

Hi,

I need a way to know the MQTT connection status at any time, so that I can reconnect to the MQTT broker again.

I observe that the  call back function registered via "qapi_Net_MQTTc_Register_Connect_Callback()" does not get called for every disconnect to the MQTT broker. 

Also the function qapi_Net_MQTTc_Publish() returns success, even after the MQTT disconnects.  Also qapi_Status_t returned by function qapi_Net_MQTTc_Publish()  is "QAPI_NET_STATUS_MQTTC_CONNECT_SUCCEEDED" after the MQTT disconnects.  

After MQTT disconnect may be 10-20 minutes later, the API qapi_Net_MQTTc_Publish() returns error "QAPI_NET_STATUS_MQTTC_SOCKET_WRITE_ERROR". 

I will require MQTT connection status immediately not after 10 -15 minutes. Is there any way I can get the MQTT connection status immediatley. 

Thanks in advance. 

Regards,
Jagan

Hi,

I think, I will require to implement PINGREQ and PINGRESP to check if the connection is alive. More details are below.

http://docs.oasis-open.org/mqtt/mqtt/v3.1.1/errata01/os/mqtt-v3.1.1-errata01-os-complete.html#_Toc442180894

Please let me know how to implement with the given set of QAPIs. 

Regards,
Jagan

mqtt_connect() internally uses PINGREQ and PINGRESP.

However, for you test case, kindly configure the keepalive_sec and ConAck_wait_time intervals to valid value to verify the connection status at regular intervals.

Thanks raja. 

After configuring keepalive_sec and ConAck_wait_time, I am able to see PINGREQ in the server logs.  Also MQTT connection seems to be stable. I am testing more, I will let you know if  I face any issues.
