False: Signifies that all consecutive values, including redundant ones, will be saved. Default to true.

include_empty_frames (bool, optional)True: include frames with empty payload.

False: do not include frames with empty payload.

Returns

bool: True if the observer is successfully started; otherwise, False.

Example

Start Monitor Message ${BusName}::${msgId} ${True}
