Integration with MQTT: Seamlessly Pass MQTT Messages to Apache Kafka

Discover how Flow Director enables smooth transfer of MQTT messages to Apache Kafka.

Integration Details:

• MQTT Message Handling:
  • Retrieve messages from any MQTT broker.
  • Redirect these messages to Apache Kafka.
• Consumer Creation:
  • Establish a consumer on a specific topic of the connected MQTT broker.
• Message Forwarding to SwiftMQ Router:
  • Channel messages to the local SwiftMQ router's topic named inboundtopic.
  • This intermediary step ensures automatic conversion of MQTT messages into JMS messages.
• SwiftMQ Router Processing:
  • Retrieve JMS messages from the inboundtopic.
  • Forward these JMS messages to a Kafka topic.
• Alternative Configuration:
  • Since Flow Director operates within a SwiftMQ router that functions as an MQTT broker, direct connection of MQTT clients to the inboundtopic is possible.
  • This bypasses the need for an external MQTT broker, reducing complexity.

Efficiently harness Flow Director's capabilities to seamlessly integrate MQTT and Kafka for message transfer, streamlining your messaging infrastructure.
