NDEATH message does not increase the node death count in Ignition - using tahu C library

[shaila123456789]

Hello,

I am checking the sample test code from tahu C library, from "develop" branch. The code registers itself with NDEATH message as will message and the same gets published by MQTT broker after the test code exits; but the same is not getting reflected in Ignition system. I can see node birth count getting increased with each NBIRTH message, but node death count remains 0. The payload for NDEATH message as captured in MQTT.fx is as follows: { "metrics": [], "seq": 0 }

Can you please help me with this ?

-Thanks, S

The sample application doesn't make use of bdSeq which I believe is required for MQTT Engine to count the node death properly. This metric is optional according to the specification, but I agree we should add it's usage to the example. This is unfortunately low on my priority list, but I will try and get to it soon.
