MQTT

MQTT is a lightweight, publish-subscribe, machine to machine network protocol for Message queue/Message queuing service. Joule provides the ability to publish events using MQTT publisher

org.eclipse.paho:org.eclipse.paho.mqttv5.client:1.2.5

Configuration Guide

Example configuration

mqttPublisher:
clientId: myClientId
username: lyndon
tenant: uk
topic: mydevice/leaf
qos: 1
broker: tcp://127.0.0.1:1883
serializer:
compress: true
security:
jwtclaim:
audienceId: projectID
keyFile: file2
algorithm: RSA
isPrivateKey: true
This basic example leverages the default setting resulting in events published to the mydevice/leaf topic as StreamEvent Json object.
