Connection loss of an agent

If the connector client receives no response to the request from the connector server at the time the next request is due to be sent, the connector client may try re-sending the request. The number of times the request is resent depends on the value you set. By default, the connector client will try to resend the request six times. The time lapse (known as the HeartBeatPeriod) between retries is ten seconds. Therefore, the connector client will wait for a response for sixty seconds (HeartBeatPeriod x HeartBeatRetries). You may change the values of both the HeartBeatPeriod and HeartBeatRetries. If no response is received after the allotted time, the connector client will register the agent as being no longer alive and the connector client will clean up all its resources and specific agent information by:

• sending connection lost notifications to all registered heartbeat notification listeners.

• stopping the pull mechanism, if this is the method used for notifications.

• disconnecting the connector client.

However, if one of the retries is successful the connection to the connector server will be reestablished and a connection reestablished notification will be sent to all registered heartbeat notification listeners.
