Not receiving ftrack.update events if AMPQ is enabled?

[jen_at_haverstack]

I noticed on the documentation that using ftrack's AMQP server will be enabled by default in future versions, so I decided to enable it for my local ftrack installation. However, I noticed that I'm not getting `ftrack.update` events if I subscribe through event hub (even using a simple example such as https://bitbucket.org/snippets/ftrack/n7qLe/event-listener-print-update-event-data).

I am able to see update events if I set up a listener directly to the AMQP server, but I don't see any documentation saying that we would not get event hub update events if the AMQP server was enabled. Is this the intended behavior?

Hi,

thanks for bringing this to our attention.

We updated our documentation with new information:
Please note that this is an advanced feature which requires you to setup and and run your own https://www.rabbitmq.com/ broker instead of the one bundled with ftrack.
Once you have your own rabbitmq server running you can update the ftrack.ini "ftrack.amqp_host" setting to have ftrack use that server instead.

This will not be standard until we make the switch to Rabbitmq.

 

Thanks again!

Regards

Simon

Ok so having update events not show up via the event hub when AMQP is enabled is the expected behavior. Thanks for clarifying!
