Get changes to Server Status

I can see that the Management Client knows when the recording server goes on and offline. Is there any way to do the same using the MIP SDK? I have tried the Status examples and these indicate that the connection is lost when the server goes offline but no further indication is given when the server comes back online.

One possibility is to ask the Event Server, this is what the Status Viewer sample does, and you see “responding” and “not responding” events messages for the recording server that is down or connection is lost.

Note that underneath the Event Server uses the Recorder Status API (which is the basis for the Status samples), and I have an idea that what it detects, when you get down to it, is the connection loss.

Yes I can see that working. Thanks Bo :slightly_smiling_face:
