BlueBox Monitor

The AdminTool's Zone Monitor module implements runtime monitoring of clients connected to SmartFoxServer through its HTTP-tunnelling system, codenamed BlueBox.

Usage

When the module is opened, the list of the current BlueBox sessions is displayed in the datagrid. The list is not updated in realtime, but a refresh rate can be set using the dropdown in the top, left corner of the module; five seconds is the default value. It is also possible to refresh the list manually by clicking the Refresh () button.

Click on the Filter button to open a collapsible panel where it is possible to filter the sessions' list by Zone, selecting it in the respective dropdown, or by username, typing some text in the input field. Also, all columns can be sorted by clicking on their headers.

Each listed session contains the following information.

• Zone — The name of the SmartFoxServer Zone to which the client is connected.
• User Id — The identifier assigned to the user by SmartFoxServer upon connection.
• Username — The unique login name of the user.
• BlueBox Session Id — The internal identifier assigned to the session by SmartFoxServer.
• Last Request — The number of seconds that have passed since the client sent the last request to the server.
• Last Polling — The number of seconds that have passed since the client pinged the server with a polling request.
• Queued Messages — The number of messages addressed to the client which have been queued since the last polling request; the queue is emptied as soon as a new polling request is received.
