Hi,

The Fast DDS Monitor just released, and I struggle to use it on ROS2 Foxy. I know that it's possible, but I can't see anything on it when I'm on foxy.

Did someone succeed ? Thank you so much.

Are you using a build of ros2 that contains the -DFASTDDS_STATISTICS=on flag? https://youtu.be/OYibnUnMIlc?t=39

Yes I am, I do exactly as the video say, I even tried on galactic but I can't see anything in statistics, I just see 0 everywhere..

Okay. I figured it out in ROS2 Galactic. The video was slightly wrong.

When you build ros2 you'll need to do:

colcon build --cmake-args -DFASTDDS_STATISTICS=on

vs the video showing

colcon build -DFASTDDS_STATISTICS=on

Once it's finished building then you should be able to view and plot the statistics using the fastdds monitor application.

Indeed I did this command but when I built on Foxy (I asked below the video in comment and they said it could be done in Foxy). I will retry in Galactic from source. ty!
