Bridge Data into RabbitMQ

TIP

After EMQX version 3.1, a powerful rule engine is introduced to replace plug-ins. It is recommended that you use it. See Bridge data to RabbitMQ to setup RabbitMQ bridges in rule engine.

EMQX bridges and forwards MQTT messages to RabbitMQ cluster:

Config file of RabbitMQ bridge plugin: etc/plugins/emqx_bridge_rabbit.conf

Configure RabbitMQ Cluster

bash
## Rabbit Brokers Server bridge.rabbit.1.server = 127.0.0.1:5672  ## Rabbit Brokers pool_size bridge.rabbit.1.pool_size = 4  ## Rabbit Brokers username bridge.rabbit.1.username = guest  ## Rabbit Brokers password bridge.rabbit.1.password = guest  ## Rabbit Brokers virtual_host bridge.rabbit.1.virtual_host = /  ## Rabbit Brokers heartbeat bridge.rabbit.1.heartbeat = 30  # bridge.rabbit.2.server = 127.0.0.1:5672  # bridge.rabbit.2.pool_size = 8  # bridge.rabbit.2.username = guest  # bridge.rabbit.2.password = guest  # bridge.rabbit.2.virtual_host = /  # bridge.rabbit.2.heartbeat = 30

Configure RabbitMQ Bridge Hooks

bash
## Bridge Hooks bridge.rabbit.hook.client.subscribe.1 = {"action": "on_client_subscribe", "rabbit": 1, "exchange": "direct:emq.subscription"}  bridge.rabbit.hook.client.unsubscribe.1 = {"action": "on_client_unsubscribe", "rabbit": 1, "exchange": "direct:emq.unsubscription"}  bridge.rabbit.hook.message.publish.1 = {"topic": "$SYS/#", "action": "on_message_publish", "rabbit": 1, "exchange": "topic:emq.$sys"}  bridge.rabbit.hook.message.publish.2 = {"topic": "#", "action": "on_message_publish", "rabbit": 1, "exchange": "topic:emq.pub"}  bridge.rabbit.hook.message.acked.1 = {"topic": "#", "action": "on_message_acked", "rabbit": 1, "exchange": "topic:emq.acked"}

Forward Subscription Event to RabbitMQ

python
routing_key = subscribe exchange = emq.subscription headers = [{<<"x-emq-client-id">>, binary, ClientId}] payload = jsx:encode([{Topic, proplists:get_value(qos, Opts)} || {Topic, Opts} <- TopicTable])

Forward Unsubscription Event to RabbitMQ

python
routing_key = unsubscribe exchange = emq.unsubscription headers = [{<<"x-emq-client-id">>, binary, ClientId}] payload = jsx:encode([Topic || {Topic, _Opts} <- TopicTable]),

Forward MQTT Messages to RabbitMQ

python
routing_key = binary:replace(binary:replace(Topic, <<"/">>, <<".">>, [global]),<<"+">>, <<"*">>, [global]) exchange = emq.$sys | emq.pub headers = [{<<"x-emq-publish-qos">>, byte, Qos},  {<<"x-emq-client-id">>, binary, pub_from(From)},  {<<"x-emq-publish-msgid">>, binary, emqx_base62:encode(Id)}] payload = Payload

Forward MQTT Message Ack Event to RabbitMQ

python
routing_key = puback exchange = emq.acked headers = [{<<"x-emq-msg-acked">>, binary, ClientId}], payload = emqx_base62:encode(Id)

Example of RabbitMQ Subscription Message Consumption

Sample code of Rabbit message Consumption in Python:

python
#!/usr/bin/env python import pika import sys  connection = pika.BlockingConnection(pika.ConnectionParameters(host='localhost')) channel = connection.channel()  channel.exchange_declare(exchange='direct:emq.subscription', exchange_type='direct')  result = channel.queue_declare(exclusive=True) queue_name = result.method.queue  channel.queue_bind(exchange='direct:emq.subscription', queue=queue_name, routing_key= 'subscribe')  def callback(ch, method, properties, body):  print(" [x] %r:%r" % (method.routing_key, body))  channel.basic_consume(callback, queue=queue_name, no_ack=True)  channel.start_consuming()
