Subscription to CB working but not visible

Question

I have an entity represented on the Context Broker with severall attributes (such as temperature, humidity etc...). I have a MySql database that persists the values from that entity by row. So in order to persist that info i have to make a subscription from cygnus. The problem here is that the information is being presisted but when i run the command (curl http://localhost:1026/v2/subscription) i get the output: [] as if any subscription was being made. If i do the command echo 'db.csubs.count()' | mongo orion --quiet it even shows the output 0.

Running OS: Centos 6 My Orion Context Broker Version: 0.26.0

Orion runs as a service:

/usr/bin/contextBroker -port 1026 -logDir /var/log/contextBroker -pidpath /var/run/contextBroker/contextBroker.pid -dbhost localhost -db orion -multiservice

So from the first step. Let's assume i don't have any subscription made to the database. I run the command:

/usr/cygnus/bin/cygnus-flume-ng agent --conf /usr/cygnus/conf/ -f /usr/cygnus/conf/agent_a1.conf -n cygnusagent -Dflume.root.logger=INFO,console

to ensure that a flume agent is running.

Now everytime that i make a change in the values, the value is changed and it is presisted in the database.

Note that you are running Orion in multiservice mode. Thus, entities/attributes/subscriptions are separated by tentant/services completely isolated in different databases at MongoDB layer. In particular, note that the subscribe context request is using Fiware-Service: fiwarefinal so the subscription is created in the "fiwarefinal" service (associated to the orion-fiwarefinal DB).

Thus curl http://localhost:1026/v2/subscription will not show any subscription, as the subscrition query is resolved in the default tenant (associated to the orion database). The same for echo 'db.csubs.count()' | mongo orion --quiet. In order to get the subscription list (or count in DB) for the "fiwarefinal" service you should use:

• curl --header 'Fiware-Service: fiwarefinal' http://localhost:1026/v2/subscription
• echo 'db.csubs.count()' | mongo orion-fiwarefinal --quiet

Note that you also need to use Fiware-Service: fiwarefinal in the unsubscribe context operation if you want to remove subscription in the "fiwarefinal" tenant/service.

Please find, more information about multiservice mode and how it relates with DB level.
