Use MQ Telemetry
IBM MQ Telemetry supports the connection of an IBM MQ message server to telemetry devices including, but not limited to, sensors and actuators, mobile phones, smart meters, medical devices, vehicles, and satellite locations. The connection is made possible by the MQ Telemetry Transport (MQTT) protocol.
MQTT is an open message format and protocol used to transfer messages from telemetry devices to a message server or the other way round. It can run on constrained devices and across constrained networks. Constraints on devices include low memory and processing capability. Constraints on networks include low bandwidth, high latency, high cost, and fragility. MQTT has been successfully deployed in various industries, including energy, utilities, and the retail sector.
- MQ Telemetry objects
This information provides details on MQ Telemetry objects which include: telemetry channels, telemetry channel status objects, and the MQXR service.- MQTT client utility
The MQTT client utility is a Java application with which we can explore the features of MQTT, that is, connecting to a queue manager, and publishing and subscribing to topics.- Configure MQ Telemetry using IBM MQ Explorer
Configure IBM MQ to run the Telemetry feature, using IBM MQ Explorer. Create telemetry objects, and test your telemetry setup using the MQTT client utility.- Administer MQ Telemetry using IBM MQ Explorer
MQ Telemetry can be administered by using IBM MQ Explorer. We can control the MQXR service, and monitor the MQTT clients that are connected to IBM MQ.- Troubleshooting MQ Telemetry using IBM MQ Explorer
Help is provided for some of the problems that might occur when we use IBM MQ Explorer to administer telemetry.- MQ Telemetry reference
