MQTT Per-Point Topics
This type of distribution sends incoming data to your MQTT server, with one topic per point of live data.
This means that there will be a large number of individual topics in your MQTT hierarchy.
Each message simply contains the raw value of that point of information.
As an alternative that has only one MQTT message per asset, see mqttob.
Type Name
The type name to use in your configuration is mqtt.
Configuration
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 | |
Suggestions
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.
