No metrics being reported

[Norbo11]

Hi,

I wanted to try this plugin out, so I've followed your instructions for running it.

I'm running MongoDB v3.4.10, Maven v3.6 and Eclipse v4.10.

Here are the steps I follow in order to see the plugin in action:

1. mkdir mongodata
2. mongod --dbpath mongodata
3. mvn jetty:run (inside cw-feedback-handler)
4. I register my application with ID MyApp and copy the access token
5. I hit Enable Feedback Nature for the example application
6. I then insert that app ID, and the access token, in both the Eclipse plugin configuration for the project as well as the config.properties file inside the application source
7. I then visit the /example and /users endpoints

I then expected to see some requests being sent against the feedback handler. I don't get anything except the request to monitoring/register during step 4.

How can I make the example application report metrics? Having had a look at the code, I don't see where this even happens - how does the running application know about the feedback-handler server?

Many thanks.

So, I tried running mvn install again inside the cw-feedback-example-application folder and then re-running everything to see if that would make a difference. This time I started seeing "Monitoring: Sending data to feedback handler" messages in the console.

Strangely though, I could not see any logging messages within the feedback handler server. The MongoDB log showed new connections being accepted when I began running more requests against the two endpoints.

To see the runtime information inside the IDE, I had to right click and select "Propagate Feedback". However, I still haven't figured out how to utilise the predictive part of the FDD.

I just changed the sleep from 2000ms per user to 4000ms per user and tried to re-run the whole thing to see if the performance metrics would change. This time, I see nothing being sent to MongoDB, and the plugin still shows the old performance metrics. How exactly does this thing work?
