MQTT Messaging

MQTT Messaging configuration allows you to specify settings for the MQTT protocol used by your NanoMQ broker.

Example Configuration

hcl
mqtt = {
  max_packet_size = 1KB       # Maximum packet size NanoMQ can accept and send, 1B~260MB.
  max_mqueue_len = 2048       # Maximum length of the in-flight window queue
  retry_interval = 10s        # Retry interval for QoS 1/2 message delivering
  keepalive_multiplier = 1.25 # Multiplier for MQTT keepalive timeout. 
  property_size = 32          # Maximum size for a MQTT user property.
}

Configuration Items

1 ~ infinity
retry_intervalSpecifies the retry interval for QoS 1/2 message delivering1 ~ infinity
keepalive_multiplierSpecifies the multiplier for the MQTT keepalive timeout. The broker will disconnect the client if there's no activity for Keepalive * backoff time.Float > 0.5
property_sizeSpecifies the maximum size for an MQTT user property.1 ~ infinity

TIP

All of these MQTT configurations in NanoMQ support hot upgrading. This means that any changes made to these settings will take effect immediately after you save the configuration file, without the need to restart the NanoMQ broker.

Upcoming Features

More configuration items will be supported in upcoming releases, please stay tuned.
