Module GatewayHook shutdown not called on Gateway stop

3rd Party Modules

Hi,

I am working on a developing a module. In the shutdown method of GatewayHook of the module, I am calling a task to log ShutDown status in the audit database.

What I observed is , this method gets called and record gets added to the database when :

  1. Module is restarted from Gateway Home Page -> Configure -> Modules
  2. Restart the Gateway from gcu (Gateway Control Utility)

However from gcu when I just stop the gateway or stop the gateway service from Task Manager, this shutdown method is not called.

I basically want to track the Gateway shutdown and start through Module GatewayHook shutdown and startup methods.

I am using Ignition version 7.7.5 RC3.

Following is the code for shutdown :

@Override
public void shutdown() {
try
{
log.error(“gateway shutdown task called”);

		//call function to log gateway stop time
		this.gatewayContext.getExecutionManager().executeOnce(new LogGatewayStatus(this.gatewayContext, "GATEWAY_SHUTDOWN"));
	}
	catch(Exception e)
	{
		e.printStackTrace();
		log.error("shutdown hook exception : " + e.getMessage());
	}

}

LogGateway Status -> run method has code to add a record to Audit.

Is there any other way to track gateway shutdown or start ?

Appreciate any help regarding this.

Regards,
Yogini

I think we fixed a bug that caused the gateway to shutdown immediately, rather than cleanly and orderly, for 7.7.6.
