Monitoring the Port Forwarder

The Port Forwarder uses the Observer/Observable framework, meaning that anyone wanting to have information from/about the Port Forwarder can add a Listener to it. Currently, you can monitor Port Forwarder status and statistics.

Note: When using these features, it is important that the

Observer.update() function does not block.

Status

Monitoring the Port Forwarder status gives you the ability to always know the state of the Port Forwarder, for example if it is ready to receive connections. Following is an example of the code for monitoring the status of the Port Forwarder.

Statistics

The Port Forwarder keeps track of all bytes passing through, allowing you to display or use the information in any way. An added statistics listener will receive a PortForwarderStatistics object either when a change has occurred or at a defined interval.
