How to change solace client name

sulfred

Hi all,

On the web portal, my connections showing a random generated client name. I would like to ask how can I assign a more meaningful name on the application side?

I am using python apis. I am using config like this by following the hello_world_pubsub.py example. Thanks

broker_props = {
    "solace.messaging.transport.host": os.environ.get('SOLACE_HOST') or "tcp://10.40.14.33:20061,tcp://10.40.14.33:20066",
    "solace.messaging.service.vpn-name": os.environ.get('SOLACE_VPN') or "default",
    "solace.messaging.authentication.scheme.basic.username": os.environ.get('SOLACE_USERNAME') or "default",
    "solace.messaging.authentication.scheme.basic.password": os.environ.get('SOLACE_PASSWORD') or "default"
    }

You can pass a "solace.messaging.client.name" property to your broker_prop object as follows

broker_props = {
    "solace.messaging.transport.host": os.environ.get('SOLACE_HOST') or "tcp://10.40.14.33:20061,tcp://10.40.14.33:20066",
    "solace.messaging.service.vpn-name": os.environ.get('SOLACE_VPN') or "default",
    "solace.messaging.authentication.scheme.basic.username": os.environ.get('SOLACE_USERNAME') or "default",
    "solace.messaging.authentication.scheme.basic.password": os.environ.get('SOLACE_PASSWORD') or "default",
"solace.messaging.client.name": "some meaningful name"
    }

@sulfred Can you please try updating to 1.3 and try again?

You can also check the list of all other properties in the documentation here https://docs.solace.com/API-Developer-Online-Ref-Documentation/python/source/rst/solace.messaging.config.solace_properties.html?#module-solace.messaging.config.solace_properties

Hopefully this helps!

Hi @Tamimi ,

Thanks for your additional information.

I have tried your suggestion

broker_props = {

   "solace.messaging.transport.host": os.environ.get('SOLACE_HOST') or "tcp://localhost:20061,tcp://localhost:55555,tcp://localhost:55554",

   "solace.messaging.service.vpn-name": os.environ.get('SOLACE_VPN') or "default",

   "solace.messaging.authentication.scheme.basic.username": "hello_client",

   "solace.messaging.authentication.scheme.basic.password": "hello_client_pw",

   "solace.messaging.client.name": "hello_test_name"

   }

messaging_service = MessagingService.builder().from_properties(broker_props)\
                    .with_reconnection_retry_strategy(RetryStrategy.parametrized_retry(20,3))\
                    .build()

The name is still not updated.

I am using python api with version: solace-pubsubplus==1.2.1

I would like to ask if there is anything I missed ?

Thanks
