Powerstream disconnection handling

The core concepts for handling disconnections apply to all streaming endpoints. See the fundamentals guide for:
  • Why connections disconnect
  • Common disconnection errors
  • Detecting disconnections
  • Reconnection strategies and backoff
  • Best practices

​
Recovering lost data

If you experience a disconnect, see Recovery and redundancy for strategies to recover missed data, including:
  • Backfill — Use the backfillMinutes parameter for disconnections of 5 minutes or less
  • Recovery — Use startTime and endTime parameters for longer disconnections (up to 24 hours)

​
