I'm presuming you're connecting to the management interface on the Linux server. > I am wondering if a value isn't reported if there is no traffic - that could > be part of this I have a feeling this is the reality. As I don't see any timer alarms scheduled in the management part of the code. So I need to see this more in connection with the main part of the event loop code.

But isn't the information going to be rather useless if it hasn't changed? If there is no change, no need to dump the same info once again.
