1.7. Get entity meta information

Fast DDS Statistics Backend includes the possibility of retrieving the meta information of any given entity present in the network. The returned tree always includes the basic information about the entity: kind, id, name, alias and if the entity is alive. Depending on the EntityKind, the returned object can contain extra information such as pid, guid, qos, locators or data_type. get_info() returns a Info object.

Info host_info = StatisticsBackend::get_info(host_id);
Info user_info = StatisticsBackend::get_info(user_id);
Info process_info = StatisticsBackend::get_info(process_id);
Info locator_info = StatisticsBackend::get_info(locator_id);
Info domain_info = StatisticsBackend::get_info(domain_id);
Info participant_info = StatisticsBackend::get_info(participant_id);
Info datareader_info = StatisticsBackend::get_info(datareader_id);
Info datawriter_info = StatisticsBackend::get_info(datawriter_id);
Info topic_info = StatisticsBackend::get_info(topic_id);
