Resolution

You do not need to take any action if there is no impact on your system functionality. These are informative messages intended to describe the hub's internal operations:

• Recurring message dropped: You see this because the hub is discarding duplicate messages that arrive from different hub routes. This prevents the processing of redundant data.
• Malformed message discarded: You see this because the hub is ignoring malformed messages. This action prevents the hub from resending invalid data, which avoids potential infinite loops.

If you observe functional issues or application crashes, please contact support for further investigation.
