1.14. Check whether an entity is active

Fast DDS Statistics Backend keeps the statistical data record of all the entities that have at some point been detected by a monitor. However, it is possible that some of this entities have already abandoned the network, thus becoming inactive. For this reason, StatisticsBackend exposes a is_active() function that returns whether an entity is active, given its EntityId.

bool active = StatisticsBackend::is_active(entity_id);
