Greengrass v2 - Almost no telemetry data

Question

I have a Greengrass v2 core device set up and running, and I have subscribed to telemetry data from it, following the docs here: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/greengrass/v2/developerguide/telemetry.html  
  
However, it produces almost no data. I forward the events to CloudWatch logs, and often it can pass several days between each entry.  
  
In the docs it says that it tries to send a MQTT message every day with QOS 0, so some misses  could be expected. But I have had constant internet connection all the time.  
  
Also, getting these metrics only "maybe once a day" seems very low. Is there no way to increase it?  
  
Thanks!

Accepted Answer

Hi,  
Unfortunately it is not possible to set it more than once per day. If you want additional or more frequent information you can write a component which sends any information that you want at the speed that you want.

Hello,  
In Greengrass Nucleus v2.1.0 you can now set the publishing interval. Please see https://docs.aws.amazon.com/greengrass/v2/developerguide/greengrass-nucleus-component.html#greengrass-nucleus-component-configuration-telemetry for more information.

Thank you  for the answer!  
  
It seems like the minimum publishing interval is once per day. Is there a reason for this? (if you're talking about "periodicPublishMetricsIntervalSeconds")
