DataSocket Server Diagnostics Utility

To launch the DataSocket Server Diagnostics utility, select Tools»Diagnostics in the DataSocket Server. Use this utility to view information about the active data items on the DataSocket Server and to fine-tune buffering constraints.

Viewing Information about Data Items

To view information about a specific data item, select the data item from the tree in the left pane of the window. In the right pane of the window, you can find information about the DataSocket clients currently subscribing to the data item, buffering constraints, buffer utilization, and number of packets that were dropped.

Adjusting Buffering Constraints

You can adjust the buffering constraints in the DataSocket Server Diagnostics utility to fine-tune performance. To update a buffering constraint for a data item, select the data item, update the Bytes or Packets constraint value in the numeric control, and click the Update button to apply the new constraint.

After you fine-tune the buffering constraints, save the settings to the DataSocket Server configuration file by selecting File»Save Settings.

Note  When you save data items and new buffering constraints to the configuration file, you save only predefined data items, not dynamically created data items currently published on the DataSocket Server. The DataSocket Server saves predefined data items with their initial values, not their current values.
