Obcerv connection

Introduction Copied

The Obcerv Connection plugin monitors the state of the connection that publishes logs to Obcerv from a Netprobe. It is automatically added to Netprobe and FIX Analyser 2 Netprobe which publishes log data directly to Obcerv. The plugin has two dataviews:

Note

The Publisher plugin creates its own connection to Obcerv and includes a dataview showing metrics for that connection. These metrics are separate from those shown by this plugin.
