This type of distribution sends incoming data to your MQTT server, with one topic per ARDI asset that has live data.
This will consolidate all updates about an asset into a single message, reducing the total size of the MQTT namespace and reducing the number of total messages sent.
As an alternative that has one MQTT message per point of data, see mqtt.
The type name to use in your configuration is mqttob (MQTT OBject based).
The following configuration options are accepted…
| Name | Notes | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| hostname | Required | The DNS name or IP of your MQTT server |
| port | Default 1883 | The port number used to communicate to the MQTT server |
| topic | Required | The base topic to publish to |
| username | The username to connect to the MQTT server | |
| password | The password to connect to the MQTT server | |
We usually suggest using the fullpath option in your configuration to replicate your ARDI asset hierarchy in your MQTT system. But this is not a requirement.
