mqti

MQTT subscriber that pumps data into InfluxDB.

Pronounced 'm-cutey' :)

How it works

Features

• MQTT 3.1.1 supported, TLS, username/password
• InfluxDB with TLS, username/password
• Consume MQTT messages and inspect (watch) or forward with the following abilities:
  • Filter messages with AND + OR
• Receive MQTT messages and write into InfluxDB, with the following abilities:
  • Add tags based on MQTT fields (when MQTT payload is JSON)
  • Geohash support (applicable when consuming MQTT messages from Owntracks
• Includes docker-compose.yaml to get a full setup up and running!

Configuration

Configuration is handled through a config.yaml file. The following example reads as:

• Setup four workers for incoming MQTT messages
• Consume message from MQTT server tcp://localhost:1883 with the client ID of mqti
• When a MQTT message is consumed from the temperature topic, send write requests to InfluxDB server http://localhost:8086, into the iot database as measurement temperature

---
mqti:
  workers: 4

mqtt:
  host: "localhost"
  port: "1883"
  client_id: "mqti"

influxdb:
  host: "localhost"
  port: "8086"

mappings:
  - mqtt:
      topic: "temperature"
    influxdb:
      database: "iot"
      measurement: "temperature"

Install

go get github.com/ashmckenzie/go-mqti/mqti

or download a release:

github.com/ashmckenzie/go-mqti/releases

Usage

1. Ensure you have a config.yaml setup (see above)

To consume MQTT messages only

1. $GOPATH/bin/mqti watch

To consume MQTT messages and forward to InfluxDB

1. $GOPATH/bin/mqti forward

Trying out with Docker

See the getting started section of a Golang Melbourne presentation for a full demonstration :)

1. make

TODO

• Tests
• Document externals
• Fully document mungers
• Leverage viper's default values
