  • 1.  TCP Bytes not passing through Listener

    Posted 01-06-2022 09:55


    Hi All,

    I have something odd happening on a Custom Panel I'm writing.

    I'm sending a TCP byte message to some kit and based upon the response, performing actions in my panel.

    The issue i'm seeing is that although I can see the response in Wireshark to a message I send, I can't get my listener in Dashboard to give me any output.

    It works fine if I send a different message that just happens to be 1 byte longer. But the way I've got the task setup it should grab all the bytes anyway.

    Here's the code I'm using on the Listener task:

    if (event.isMessageEvent())
{
ogscript.debug("Got message");
var data = [];
//get the first byte
data.push(event.getBytes()[0]);
var datapush = event.getBytes();
ogscript.debug("datapush = " + datapush);
var stream = this.getInputStream();
ogscript.debug("Data available: " + stream.available()); //print message length
//get the rest of the bytes in the message and add to array
while( stream.available())
data.push(stream.read().toString(16));


var CONNECTED = new Array();
CONNECTED[0] = data;
params.setValue('CONNECTED' , 0, CONNECTED.toString());
var CONNECTEDSTRING = CONNECTED;
ogscript.debug("CONNECTED STRING = " + CONNECTEDSTRING);
var replace = params.getValue('CONNECTED', 0).replace(/,/g, " ");
ogscript.debug("replace = " + replace);
var split = replace.split(" ");
ogscript.debug("split = " + split);
var Checksum = split[5];
ogscript.debug("Checksum RX = " + Checksum);
}

    and a screenshot of my listener setup:

    I'd be really grateful for some help with this one please.

    Cheers,

    Chris

    I've never used "Fixed Length" delimiters, and it seems a little odd that each one is just 1 byte long.     But I guess it's possible if you're just sending one byte messages.  Although your ogscript code seems to expect multiple bytes. 

    I typically use the "New Line" delimiter, and make sure that all my messages end with new line characters.    That way I can have variable length messages coming through.
