Resiliency
Because Connectors 4.0 are “stateless,” they are more resilient than previous versions. For
example, in previous versions, you had to restart the connectors when errors occurred. In
this version, when an error occurs, you can ignore it because it will be corrected without
administrator intervention.
Easy monitoring and reporting
The Connector Dashboard is a new, web-based interface that eases monitoring and
reporting. It displays the connector’s version, status, statistics, configuration variables and
values, response time and available throughput in real time (including the previous hour
and the previous day), and recent log messages.
Also, from the Connector Dashboard, you can download the Diagnostics zip archive, which
contains logs and other rich data about the connector.
