Detailed Description

Add contextual information to log messages.

The Activity Context is a group of resources and activities associated with an action such as the creation of an entity.

• A resource is a abstraction of an entity. It can contain attributes such as Topic or domain ID.
• An activity is a general task that the resource is doing, such as "Getting QoS".

Logging context is one of the formats RTI Connext logging infrastructure supports. It is used by default in NDDS_CONFIG_LOG_PRINT_FORMAT_DEFAULT. It provides information about resources and activities. The activity context is used in two places:

• Logging: activity context is one of the NDDS_Config_LogPrintFormat DDS logging infrastructure supports. If that format is set every time RTI Connext logs a message, it will contain the contextual information.
• Heap monitoring: every time memory is allocated and heap monitoring is enabled, the string representation of the activity context will be associated with the allocation. This information will be available when taking the snapshot.

For example, in the creation of a DataWriter, the activity context will provide information about:

• Resource: the Publisher creating the DataWriter. Attributes of the publisher will be GUID, kind, name and domain ID.
• Activity: entity creation. It will have two parameters, the entity kind and the Topic. In the example below, these are "Writer" and "TestTopic".

The string representation of the above activity context would be:

[0X101A76B,0X79E5D71,0X50EE914:0X1C1:0X80000088{E=Pu,N=TestPublisher,D=1}|CREATE Writer WITH TOPIC TestTopic]                 

Another example could be when a DataWriter writes a sample. The activity context will provide information about:

• Resource: the DataWriter writing the sample. The attributes of the DataWriter will be GUID, name, kind, Topic, data type, and the domain ID.
• Activity will be "write a sample".

The string representation of the activity context will be:

[0X101A76B,0X79E5D71,0X50EE914:0X1C1:0X80000003{N=testDataWriterName,E=DW,T=test,C=Foo,D=1}|Write]                 

Macro Definition Documentation

NDDS_CONFIG_ACTIVITY_CONTEXT_ATTRIBUTE_MASK_DEFAULT

#define NDDS_CONFIG_ACTIVITY_CONTEXT_ATTRIBUTE_MASK_DEFAULT   RTI_OSAPI_ACTIVITY_CONTEXT_ATTRIBUTE_MASK_DEFAULT

Provide the default attributes of the resource of the Activity Context.

NDDS_CONFIG_ACTIVITY_CONTEXT_ATTRIBUTE_MASK_NONE

#define NDDS_CONFIG_ACTIVITY_CONTEXT_ATTRIBUTE_MASK_NONE   RTI_OSAPI_ACTIVITY_CONTEXT_ATTRIBUTE_MASK_NONE

Not provide any attribute of the resource of the Activity Context.

NDDS_CONFIG_ACTIVITY_CONTEXT_ATTRIBUTE_MASK_ALL

#define NDDS_CONFIG_ACTIVITY_CONTEXT_ATTRIBUTE_MASK_ALL   RTI_OSAPI_ACTIVITY_CONTEXT_ATTRIBUTE_MASK_ALL

Provide all the possibles attributes of the resource of the Activity Context.

Typedef Documentation

NDDS_Config_ActivityContextAttributeKindMask

typedef DDS_Long NDDS_Config_ActivityContextAttributeKindMask

The attributes NDDS_Config_ActivityContextAttributeKind used in the string representation of the Activity Context can be configured through this mask.

This mask indicates what attributes of the resource are used when RTI Connext logs a message or when the Heap Monitoring utility saves statistics for a memory allocation.

Enumeration Type Documentation

NDDS_Config_ActivityContextAttributeKind

enum NDDS_Config_ActivityContextAttributeKind

The resources of the Activity Context can have multiple associated attributes. Those attributes provide extra information about the entity such as GUID prefix, Topic, data type, entity kind, entity name and domain ID. They are used to indicate what attributes of the resources are included in the activity context.

Enumerator
NDDS_CONFIG_ACTIVITY_CONTEXT_ATTRIBUTE_GUID_PREFIX	Provide the entity GUID prefix to the resource of the Activity Context. For example: For the following string representation of the context: [0X101A76B,0X79E5D71,0X50EE914:0X1C1:0X80000003{N=testDataWriterName,E=DW,T=test,C=Foo,D=1}|Write] The GUID prefix is 0X101A76B,0X79E5D71,0X50EE914. If the bit NDDS_CONFIG_ACTIVITY_CONTEXT_ATTRIBUTE_GUID_PREFIX is not set, the string representation will not show the GUID prefix: [:0X80000003{N=testDataWriterName,E=DW,T=test,C=Foo,D=1}|Write]
NDDS_CONFIG_ACTIVITY_CONTEXT_ATTRIBUTE_TOPIC	Provide the Topic to the resource of the Activity Context. The topic attribute is specified by "T". For example: For the following string representation of the context: [0X101A76B,0X79E5D71,0X50EE914:0X1C1:0X80000003{N=testDataWriterName,E=DW,T=test,C=Foo,D=1}|Write] The Topic (T) is "test." If the bit NDDS_CONFIG_ACTIVITY_CONTEXT_ATTRIBUTE_TOPIC is not set, the string representation will not show the Topic (T): [0X101A76B,0X79E5D71,0X50EE914:0X1C1:0X80000003{N=testDataWriterName,E=DW,C=Foo,D=1}|Write]
NDDS_CONFIG_ACTIVITY_CONTEXT_ATTRIBUTE_TYPE	Provide the data type to the resource of the Activity Context. The type attribute is specified by "C". For example: For the following string representation of the context: [0X101A76B,0X79E5D71,0X50EE914:0X1C1:0X80000003{N=testDataWriterName,E=DW,T=test,C=Foo,D=1}|Write] The data type (C) is "Foo." If the bit NDDS_CONFIG_ACTIVITY_CONTEXT_ATTRIBUTE_TYPE is not set, the string representation will not show the data type (C): [0X101A76B,0X79E5D71,0X50EE914:0X1C1:0X80000003{N=testDataWriterName,E=DW,T=test,D=1}|Write]
NDDS_CONFIG_ACTIVITY_CONTEXT_ATTRIBUTE_ENTITY_KIND	Provide the entity kind to the resource of the Activity Context. The kind attribute is specified by "E". For example: For the following string representation of the context: [0X101A76B,0X79E5D71,0X50EE914:0X1C1:0X80000003{N=testDataWriterName,E=DW,T=test,C=Foo,D=1}|Write] The entity kind (E) is "Writer." If the bit NDDS_CONFIG_ACTIVITY_CONTEXT_ATTRIBUTE_ENTITY_KIND is not set, the string representation will not show the entity kind (E): [0X101A76B,0X79E5D71,0X50EE914:0X1C1:0X80000003{N=testDataWriterName,T=test,C=Foo,D=1}|Write]
NDDS_CONFIG_ACTIVITY_CONTEXT_ATTRIBUTE_DOMAIN_ID	Provide the domain ID to the resource of the Activity Context. The domain attribute is specified by "D". For example: For the following string representation of the context: [0X101A76B,0X79E5D71,0X50EE914:0X1C1:0X80000003{N=testDataWriterName,E=DW,T=test,C=Foo,D=1}|Write] The domain ID (D) is "1." If the bit NDDS_CONFIG_ACTIVITY_CONTEXT_ATTRIBUTE_DOMAIN_ID is not set, the string representation will not show the domain ID (D): [0X101A76B,0X79E5D71,0X50EE914:0X1C1:0X80000003{N=testDataWriterName,E=DW,T=test,C=Foo}|Write]
NDDS_CONFIG_ACTIVITY_CONTEXT_ATTRIBUTE_ENTITY_NAME	Provide the entity name to the resource of the Activity Context. The name attribute is specified by "N". For example: For the following string representation of the context: [0X101A76B,0X79E5D71,0X50EE914:0X1C1:0X80000003{N=testDataWriterName,E=DW,T=test,C=Foo,D=1}|Write] The entity name (N) is "testDataWriterName." If the bit NDDS_CONFIG_ACTIVITY_CONTEXT_ATTRIBUTE_ENTITY_NAME is not set, the string representation will not show the entity name (N): [0X101A76B,0X79E5D71,0X50EE914:0X1C1:0X80000003{E=DW,T=test,C=Foo,D=1}|Write]
