mqtt: receiving messages from an MQTT broker

From syslog-ng OSE version 3.35, you can use the mqtt() source to fetch messages from MQTT brokers.

The mqtt() source builds on the MQTT protocol, and uses its client and broker entities.

NOTE: The rest of this chapter and its sections build on your familiarity with the MQTT protocol, the concept of client and broker entities, and how these entities function within an MQTT system.

Declaration:
source s_mqtt{
    mqtt(
        address("tcp://<hostname>:<port-number>")
        topic("<topic-name>")
    );
};
Example: Using the mqtt() source in your configuration

The following example illustrates an mqtt() source configured to fetch messages from the MQTT broker running on localhost:4444 using the test/test topic, and send them to the localhost:4445 address.

@version: 3.35
@include "scl.conf"
source s_mqtt {
    mqtt(
        address("tcp://localhost:4444")
        topic("test/test")
    );
};
destination d_network {
    network(
        "localhost"
        port(4445)
    );
};
log {
    source(s_mqtt);
    destination(d_network);;
};

Prerequisites to using the mqtt() destination

Using the current implementation of the mqtt() destination has the following prerequisites:

  • Installing the eclipse-paho-mqtt-c library.

    NOTE: The default package manager for some Linux operating systems contains the eclipse-paho-mqtt-c library, but depending on your OS, you may have to install the library manually. For more information about how you can download and install the eclipse-paho-mqtt-c library, see Eclipse Paho on the Eclipse Foundation website.

  • Having a broker entity in a functional MQTT system.

    NOTE: In your configuration, you will specify the broker entity of your MQTT system in the address() option of your mqtt() source.

Limitations to using the mqtt() destination

Using the mqtt() source of syslog-ng OSE has the following limitations:

  • You can only use the mqtt() source with syslog-ng OSE version 3.35 or higher.

  • You cannot use the mqtt() source without installing the the eclipse-paho-mqtt-c library.

  • For more information about how you can download and install the eclipse-paho-mqtt-c library, see Eclipse Paho on the Eclipse Foundation website.

  • The current implementation of the mqtt() source supports versions 3.1 and 3.1.1 of the MQTT protocol

Options of the mqtt() source

The mqtt() source has the following options.

Required options: address(), fallback-topic(), and topic().

address()
Type: string
Default: tcp://localhost:1883
Required: yes

Description: Specifies the hostname or IP address, and the port number of the MQTT broker to which syslog-ng OSE will send the log messages.

Syntax: <protocol type>://<host>:<port>

client-id()
Type: string
Default: syslog-ng-source-{topic option}
Required: no

Description: The client-id() is used to identify the client to the MQTT server, which stores session data for each client. The session data can contains information regarding which message has been sent, received. It is not possible to set the client-id() to an empty string. To always start a new session see the cleansession() option.

cleansession()
Type: yes | no
Default: no

Description: This option instruments the MQTT broker to clean the session data when connecting. The session data contains information about which message was processed.

http-proxy()
Type: URL
Default: N/A

Description: Specifies HTTP/HTTPS proxy for WebSocket connections.

keep-alive()
Type: positive integer number (in seconds)
Default: 60

Description: Specifies the number of seconds that syslog-ng OSE keeps the connection between the broker and clients open in case there is no message traffic. When keep-alive() number of seconds pass, the connection is terminated, and you have to reconnect.

On the MQTT side, the keep alive function provides a workaround method to access connections that are still open.

password()
Type: string
Default: N/A

Description: The password used to authenticate on the MQTT broker.

persist-name()
Type: string
Default:

N/A

Description:If you receive the following error message during syslog-ng OSE startup, set the persist-name() option of the duplicate drivers:

Error checking the uniqueness of the persist names, please override it with persist-name option. Shutting down.

This error happens if you use identical drivers in multiple sources, for example, if you configure two file sources to read from the same file. In this case, set the persist-name() of the drivers to a custom string, for example, persist-name("example-persist-name1").

qos()
Type: number
Default: 0

Possible values:

0 - at most once (the fastest option)

1 - at least once (a much slower option than 0)

2 - exactly once (the slowest option)

Description: The Quality of Service (QoS) level in MQTT messaging is an agreement between sender and receiver on the guarantee of delivering a message.

tls()
Type: tls options
Default: n/a

Description: This option sets various options related to TLS encryption, for example, key/certificate files and trusted CA locations. TLS can be used only with tcp-based transport protocols. For details, see TLS options.

The following options are relevant for the mqtt() tls() block: ca-dir(), ca-file(), cert-file(), cipher-suite(), key-file(), peer-verify(), ssl-version(), use-system-cert-store().

topic()
Type: string or template
Default: N/A

Description: Required option. Specifies the MQTT topic.

NOTE: The current implementation of the mqtt() destination does not support using the following characters for topic names:

  • $

  • +

  • #

username()
Type: string
Default: N/A

Description: The username used to authenticate on the MQTT broker.
