WebSocket

Connect to a WebSocket (ws/wss) Server.

Agent configuration

The following describes the supported agent configuration attributes:

Attribute	Description	Value type	Required
connectURL	WebSocket connection URL (ws/wss); this is used as the base URL for all requests that go through this agent	HTTP URL	Y
connectHeaders	Headers to be added to the initial connection request	Multivalued Text Map	N
connectSubscriptions	List of subscriptions that should be made when the protocol connects to the WebSocket server	WebSocket Subscription[]	N

WebSocket Subscriptions

The subscription attribute allows a set of subscriptions to be made when the connection is first established, these subscriptions are executed in the order they appear in the list/array. A subscription can be a WebSocket subscription or a HTTP subscription (a simple HTTP request), this covers most real world WebSocket server use cases, as this is a publish-subscribe protocol you quite often need to specify what you want to subscribe to when you connect.

Field	Description	Value type	Required
type	Agent type	Text (Must be WebsocketAgentLink)	Y
