About this Extension
This extension adds monitored, bi-directional MQTT messaging to and from your Kafka installation. It implements the native Kafka protocol, so HiveMQ acts as a first-class Kafka client. This allows MQTT topics to be mapped directly to Kafka topics and forward messages directly to multiple Kafka clusters (and vice versa) in a high-performant, scalable and reliable manner.Features
- Connect and route IoT device data to multiple Kafka clusters allowing for a single HiveMQ platform to support different types of devices and routing device data to different back-end applications.
- Support of all MQTT 3.1.1 and MQTT 5 features.
- Poll information from a Kafka topic and publish this information as MQTT messages to one or more MQTT topics.
- Use multiple MQTT topic filters with full support of MQTT wildcards to route MQTT messages to the desired Kafka topic.
- End-to-end persistent messaging guarantees from device to Kafka so no messages are lost.
- Track all MQTT messages to and from Kafka on a centralized HiveMQ control center.
New features with the 4.12 release:
- Added tracing support in the extension for
MqttToKafkaTransformercustomizations; that can create multiple Kafka records from a single MQTT message. - Export information about the extension in a diagnostic archive to further facilitate support and troubleshooting.
How to install
- This extension is preinstalled in your download of the HiveMQ platform and disabled. To enable the HiveMQ Enterprise Extension for Kafka, locate the folder of the extension in your HiveMQ installation and remove the DISABLED file.
