2.2.7. RTI Observability Framework

With the exception mentioned below, Observability Framework in release 7.6.0 works with Connext 7.3.0, 7.5.0, and 7.6.0. See the Observability Framework Release Notes 7.6.0 for more information on Observability Framework in 7.6.0.

2.2.7.1. Remote debugging between 7.5.0 and 7.6.0 does not work

Previously when using the Remote Debugging feature in Admin Console, Monitoring Library 2.0 sent all telemetry data generated by a Connext application to Collector Service. Now, telemetry data is sent only if an active Admin Console session requests the data, reducing unnecessary network traffic and improving system efficiency.

This enhancement breaks compatibility between 7.5.0 monitored applications and 7.6.0 Collector Service, and vice versa. The reason is that 7.6.0 Collector Service sends commands that are not supported by 7.5.0 Monitoring Library 2.0 (so you cannot monitor 7.5.0 applications with 7.6.0), and 7.5.0 Collector Service does not support sending the command to enable remote debugging data from 7.6.0 Monitoring Library 2.0 (so you cannot monitor 7.6.0 applications using 7.5.0).

You can remotely debug 7.6.0 applications using 7.6.0 Connext only. Note that the remote debugging feature did not exist before 7.5.0, so you cannot use 7.6.0 Connext to remotely debug earlier Connext versions.

See Remote Debugging, in the 7.6.0 Admin Console User’s Manual, for more information.
