What is the timeout for FME Cloud websocket connections?

I noticed that my connections to my FME Cloud websocket timed out after 2 minutes if no data had been transmitted. I was able to remedy the problem by creating a heartbeat that sent a message at an interval less than 2 minutes. This was a little frustrating to have to work out though.

Is 2 minutes the default timeout on FME Cloud? I had no such issues when using FME Server. I'm guessing this is to do with the settings applied to the NGINX server on the Cloud instances? Is there a way to alter the default timeout, or am I stuck with the heartbeat solution? If so, can you document the default timeout issue somewhere?

    You may want to go directly to Safe support with this one. Please keep us posted, however, in case someone else stumbles upon the same issue later.

    I'm pretty sure that is not possible to alter any configurations on NGINX for FME Cloud instances.

    Hi @cdog89,

    Can you share a little bit more information about the WebSocket client you are using and how you are receiving messages via the wss protocol on FME Cloud?

    Are you using a workspace with a WebsocketReceiver or a Publication using the WebSocket protocol?

     

     

    I tested the following scenarios:

    1. Send messages every 130s with the WebsocketSender to wss://bluesky-safe-software.fmecloud.com/websocket and receive them with the WebsocketReceiver

    2. Send messages every 130s with the WebsocketSender to wss://bluesky-safe-software.fmecloud.com/websocket and receive them with a WebSocket publication on FME Server

     

     

    Both tests were successful and I did not experience any connection time outs.
