MT-Connect-MQTT-Relay Example

[ravirajpspl2023]

installing MT-Connect-Mqtt-Relay Example in source code. this MT_Connect agent publish data on external Mqtt-broker so i not know the SHDR adaper is embedded with this agent , if yes then how to configure this or not then how or which is used for this agent

[PatrickRitchie]

Yes the MTConnect-Mqtt-Relay Agent supports SHDR and can be configured in the agent.config.yaml file below:

# - Device Configuration -
devices: devices

# - SHDR Adapter Configuration -
# The Agent is able to receive data through a TCP port using the SHDR protocol
adapters:
- hostname: localhost
  port: 7878
  reconnectInterval: 1000

# - MQTT Configuration -

# The hostname of the MQTT broker to publish messages to
server: localhost

# The port number of the MQTT broker to publish messages to
port: 1883

Version 6

I will note that there is a new version (Version 6) that combines HTTP, MQTT, and SHDR in a single Agent. I recommend using this as the version 5.x applications will be deprecated. The version 6 agent also uses the new MQTT format.
