MQTT Application Samples

| Setup | Getting Started | Telemetry | Command |

These samples provide guidance to build Pub/Sub applications targeting MQTT Brokers in different programming languages. The samples are provided in different programming languages: C#, Python and C.

The instructions are provided for the following MQTT Brokers:

• Azure Event Grid Namespaces
• Mosquitto for local development

Note: These samples can also be leveraged for any MQTT Broker that supports X509 certificates authentication

Prerequisites

• You can test the samples locally on your machine or in Github Codespaces:
  • To test in Github Codespaces:
    • Click on the Code button on the top right of the page
    • select the Codespaces tab, then click + to create a new codespace
  • To test locally on your machine:
    • Use a Linux environment as the samples are optimized to run in Linux.
      • To install and run Linux on Windows, run wsl --install -d Ubuntu. After installation is complete, you can run wsl to start running commands on your Ubuntu subsystem whenever you open a new terminal window. Learn more
      • Note: To run in native Windows, you must adapt the scripts to use Windows paths.
    • Clone this repository to any directory in your Linux environment: git clone https://github.com/Azure/MQTTBrokerPrivatePreview.git
• Follow the instructions in the Setup to setup your environment.
• Navigate to each of the scenario folders and follow its README.md instructions to run the scenario.
  • To configure the MQTT connection, the samples use .env files, with variables to specify the host name, port, certificates, etc. The .env files must be located in the scenario folder, e.g. scenarios/getting_started, and can be reused across samples/languages, including the client certificates.

Language specific instructions

Each language requires developer tools, such as compilers and SDKs to build and run the samples:

• dotnet
• C
• Python (TBD)

Scenarios

These samples implement PubSub patterns used in MQTT Applications.

Each scenario involves a different number of producers and consumers. These producers and consumers are loosely coupled actors that interact with the MQTT broker using a specific topic structure and known message payloads.

Each scenario requires the following configurations:

• Configure Authentication: mTLS certificates and clients.
• Configure Authorization: Define which client(s) can interact with which topic(s).

Follow the instructions in the Prerequisites to configure these scenarios.

Scenario	Description	dotnet	C	python
Getting Started	This quick start scenario simulates basic MQTT tasks.	✓	✓	✓
Telemetry	This scenario simulates multiple clients (the producers) sending data to a different set of topics to be consumed by a single application (the consumer).	✓	✓	✓
Command	This scenario simulates the request-response messaging pattern using MQTT v5.	✓	✓	soon
Alert	This scenario simulates a fan-out use case where multiple clients receive a singlemessage from the same topic.	soon	soon	soon

note: soon: in progress and will be added soon
