  • 1.  Failed Secondary (Remote Relay) Hub and Alarms

    Posted Nov 10, 2014 10:24 PM

    I am investigating what the expected alarms are for the following scenario:

     

    • Remote relay/secondary hub at a remote site acting as a tunnel - it has it's own nas but also forwarding alarms to the primary
    • Multiple robots registered with this remote secondary hub for communication to the central primary hub (multiple origins)

    If this hub fails (either the hub element or the entire server):

     

    • Should I see an alarm about the hub failing?
    • Should I see an alarm about the robot on this hub being unavailable?
    • Should I see alarms for all the other robots communicating via the tunnel hosted by this hub?

    Thanks

    You should definitely not see any alarms related to robots when you have a hub failure (or lose connectivity) to the hub.

     

    The alarms you would see when a hub goes down or loses connectivity depend on how the communication with the hub is configured. Usually you would see alarms for tunnels and/or queues. A tunnel disconnect should result in alarm on both hubs depending on the configuration. A queue failure probably only generates alarms for get/attach queues but not post queues.

    There are however some bugs (specifically related to failovers and using proxy_mode), that causes "robot inactive" alarms. Problem is that the hubs sometimes gets confused about where the robot should be.
