Message Reporting Service

Introduction

• Implemented in the mrs package.
• Three components: message senders, message server (one), message receivers.
• Senders send messages to the server using a simple stream like interface.
• Message text and expected parameters can be stored in a database.
• Message server forwards messages to connected receivers according to selection criteria.
• Message receiver can subscribe to message server to receive all messages that fit some set of selection criteria.
• In general senders probably wont be receivers and vice versa.

Example

  #include "mrs/message.h"
  
  IPCPartition partition ("Murrough");
  MRSStream mout (partition);
  
  mout << messname1 << MRS_FATAL << ENDM;
  mout << messname2 << MRS_PARAM<int>("par",2)
       << MRS_WARNING << ENDM;
  mout << messname3 << MRS_TEXT("some arbitrary text")
       << MRS_ERROR << ENDM;
