Guidance on correctly configuring Primary/Secondady HTTP Connections on an element (MWCore)

Hello Dojo Fans!

Seeking some guidance on correctly configuring Primary/Secondary HTTP Connections on an element, in this case specifically for MWCore.

Within MWCore configuration we have added a primary and secondary HTTP connection.  Purposely typo’d the primary connection host address (-lonzz instead of -lon), to simulate a down MWCore server:

In this configuration, we see the timeout of lonzz, but do not see any failover occurring to the secondary host URL for MWCore.  Bookings automation fails, etc.  I am expecting DM to utilise the secondary (good) connection instead.

We have reverted the typo for now;  however, could anyone please advise if I am using this feature correctly, as per the config I tested with?  Am I missing something, or should it be configured differently, or is it not working as expected?

Many Thanks!

Wil,

Redundant connections are leveraged as described here: Redundant polling | DataMiner Docs

Other useful sources are:
