We have a server and an ALB, I was wondering what is the best practice for request timeouts.
Currently we have it configured such:
ALB request timeout is 120sec
Server request timeout is 115sec
My gut tells me that the server should timeout first so the server has control of how to respond to the client, but wanted to see if there is any best practice when it comes to this?

This is absolutely how I would do it. Leave the ALB timeouts for instances like when your server has stopped responding due to a crash or something.

I want to host a cpp service as a executable file and able to track the log, handle the exception and able to handle high load.
You can try c-sevice-interface https://github.com/Taymindis/c-service-interface
This is a small bridge engine which can handle high load of request, any segfault will not break the engine, it will catch and free the thread, it is built on top NGINX, FCGI. You can setup the proxy, load balance, authentication via NGINX before reach to your interface.
The link shown as below is a wiki to Guide you how to startup from scratch.

I've written a simple TCP socket server in c++ that uses sys/socket and OpenSSL..
I wish to use this server in production and I haven't been able to find clear methods for testing a socket server at scale.
What are the best methods and/or tool for testing sockets?
Unless you want to write a custom test client, which obviously doesn't have to be in C++, there are some common tools that can be used to connect to your server. For example, you can use curl and telnet. Google for these tools and how to use them if you are not already familiar with them. The following answers might be helpful:
https connection using CURL from command line

Client server application on c++.
If client close programm , socket cloded but, if internet on client side was disconnected, socket doesn`t close.
You have no choice: you have to wait for the TCP timeout. When the timeout happens, your server socket will get closed as if the client had properly closed the connection (give or take the status/error code).
Depending on the settings of your server's TCP stack, it can take quite a while (I have seen systems where it took 30 minutes...). Just be patient.

How does it work? (Explain it in terms of server, writes, GETs, values, whatever).
DOes it work with Win32 apps?
I'll try to explain:
There is an application, with thrift
class/interface. When event that you
want to log occures, you send
message to the
Server, which collect logs from many
sources (application, server logs,
etc)
And then server decides what do
do with it: generate visualization,
send over tcp/ip, store in a file,
nfs, hdfs, you decide.
Server and client can be the same
app or machine, or this log data can
be sent from client over internet.
Definitely works with win32 apps.
It Works Great.
We're using Scribe to test some message processing.
We're sending Apache logs with Scribe. (Under Ubuntu)

I am trying to exchange data between client and server using gSOAP. Actually, I succeeded to send data from client to server but not from server to client. So, could someone please explain what functions to use to pass data from server to client?
Thanks for your time and replies,
The only way I know is by invoking with a function soap_call
See the example of calc in gsoap package
