Solace PubSub+ Cache Timestamp

timob

Hi there, everybody,

is there a way in the Solace Java API (JCSMP) to retrieve a received-timestamp from Solace Pubsub+ cache messages ? In other words a timestamp of when the cache received the message. We use the cache as a kind of last value store and would like to use board-level tools to query when a specific topic was last modified.

Greetings and thanks a lot
Timo

Hi @timob,
I don't think there's a way to retrieve a timestamp from a cache request that shows the last time a message was received in to the cache.
However, you can get the information you want, and a lot more, by using the show cache-instance eq-cluster1-instance1 remote topics command. You can also use the SEMP protocol to do this programmatically. See the docs here. Example output (apologies for formatting):

Cache Instance : eq-cluster1-instance1
Cache Cluster : eq-cluster1
Distributed Cache : equities
Message VPN : default

Current Cumulative current Cumulative Last
Topic Msg Count Msg Count Byte Count Byte Count Arrival
