Hi,
in case the client can’t reach the server, how long does the server keep the commands until they “expire”? Or whatever happens to them?
How often does the client check?

Hi,
assuming you’re using pull-mqtt mode, then the notion of “client checking” is a bit misleading. The client opens a mqtt connection to the server (the smart proxy to be precise) and then gets notified over it, it doesn’t really poll.
Now if the client is not connected when the job comes in, the proxy periodically tries to notify the host every 15 minutes. If the host fails to be notified within a day, the job gets marked as failed. Both of those intervals are configurable, the exact values I mentioned are just the defaults.
OK, thanks.
We intent to manage some laptops with this and they might not be always online.
Does the client also try to re-connect to the server periodically or how does it work on the client?
Yup, if the connection is lost, it tries to reconnect, although I don’t recall the exact timings there
