-
- Q: What is the Native Collector - MQTT Feature?
-
-
-
-
- A: The Native Collector - MQTT feature was
- introduced in InfluxDB Cloud in 2022 as a way to ingest data
- directly from MQTT sources into InfluxDB Cloud. This feature has
- been removed and is no longer available to new customers or
- existing customers who have not been using it. It was only
- available to a limited number of existing customers who were
- actively using it.
-
-
-
-
-
-
- Q: Why is this feature being EOLed?
-
-
-
-
- A: The adoption of this feature was lower than
- anticipated given most customers continued to use Telegraf,
- InfluxData's data collection agent, which provides more features
- for MQTT ingestion than this feature did. After a thorough
- assessment, we determined that our customers can have a similar -
- and superior - experience with the MQTT Consumer Telegraf Input
- Plugin.
-
-
-
-
-
-
- Q: What alternatives are available in light of
- this EOL announcement?
-
-
-
-
- A: We recommend using the MQTT Consumer Telegraf
- Input Plugin as an alternative to the Native Collector - MQTT
- feature. It's free to use and is available for download{' '}
-
- here
-
- . Telegraf is InfluxData's very popular open source data
- collection agent with 300+ plugins, including MQTT.
-
-
-
-
-
-
- Q: What are the expected next steps?
-
-
-
-
- A: The Native Collector - MQTT feature will
- continue to work and function until{' '}
- April 30th, 2024. We will not be doing any new
- product development or enhancements to the feature in the
- meantime. After the EOL date, it will be decommissioned and any
- MQTT subscriptions that you have made will no longer receive and
- ingest data into InfluxDB.
-
-
-
-
-
-
- Q: Will I lose any data already ingested?
-
-
-
-
- A: No, already ingested data will not be affected
- by this change.
-
-
-
-
-
-
- Q: Where can I get more information on using
- Telegraf as a replacement for Native Collector - MQTT?
-
-
-
-
- A: You can obtain more information about using
- Telegraf with MQTT and download the MQTT Consumer Telegraf Input
- Plugin{' '}
