Push long polling inquiry

Question

Due to security reasons, we are unable to use MQTT, so the entire configuration between Android devices and the MDM backend must be handled over HTTPS. Currently, the devices are sending polling inquiries every 5 seconds. How can we increase this interval to prevent Tomcat server congestion as we scale the number of devices to several thousand? We are using the Enterprise version of Headwind MDM.

Answer 1

You can use the HTTP polling mode instead of the MQTT mode.

My question is how to increase the HTTP polling interval from every 5 seconds to, for example, every 60 seconds.

The HTTP polling option works like HTTP Long Polling — the connection is established and held for 60 seconds.
If a push comes, then on the open connection it immediately comes to the device. After 60 seconds, the connection is re-established.
