10/06/2025, 4:58 PMI've set up new instance, generator data flow.
I am seeing messages in topic browser logs but Topic Browser itself shows no topics.
Might be related to recent update: https://discord.com/channels/700613971941785680/1424759939284602971/1424759939284602971

10/06/2025, 5:01 PMjust wanted to ask you that

10/06/2025, 5:03 PMlet me try to reproduce it here. the topic browser is healthy and not reproting anything. from a first view, it should all look fine.
there is currently a bug that the topicbrowser only reports every 10 seconds a message, but it should mean it should have arrived at elast once.
there is also the downsampler, which will make your 1s / msg down to just once as the payload never changes, but it should still appear in the topic browser.
let me look at it tomorrow with a clear mind.
thank you for the good bug report

10/07/2025, 9:05 AMI could not reproduce the bug. I copied your config and it was working on my system. Some thoughts to further troubleshoot:
1. maybe there was some initial hiccup on the topic browser. with the downsampler, the message is only sent once and maybe during that time there was some hiccup. maybe try something like this?
Copy code
msg.payload = msg.payload + "_" + Date.now();jermuk

10/07/2025, 9:05 AMnote that there is a bug in the topic browser at the moment that it will only report once very 10 seconds and not in real-time

10/07/2025, 9:07 AMbut i took definetly more time than 10 sec. let me register a new account and confirm that it persists or it was really a temporary hiccup. yesterday after running a couple hours the tags were missing

10/07/2025, 9:09 AMmaybe this was some initial hiccup or something. if you want to help me here, you could send me the logs and metrics of the topic browser via PM (as those will contain the raw data and you probably dont want that public)
jermuk
10/07/2025, 9:14 AMalso it would be good to get the agent logs here as well (probably via PM as well)

10/07/2025, 3:32 PMi can confirm that this bug sometimes happen. I found a similar issue reported by me a couple of days ago with similar behaviour. the benthos plugin "topic browser" simply stops responding.
we have no idea how to resolve it yet, will continue troubleshooting. only happens rarely (but for some reason on your system more often)
