Note

MQTT Engine will match ALL namespaces for any incoming message.

If MQTT Engine is receiving only custom namespace messages, we recommend disabling the Sparkplug B default namespace.

If MQTT Engine is receiving messages from both the Sparkplug B default namespace and a custom namespace, you will need to ensure that your custom namespace subscription is refined so as not to pick up the messages from the Sparkplug B namespace (spBv1.0/......)

MQTT Engine supports MQTT Engine Engine String Replacement for both MQTT Topics and Payloads for character sequences that will become part of an Ignition tag path. While MQTT and Sparkplug both support characters such as . & % =, Ignition does not support these as valid characters in a tag path or tag name. As a result, sometimes it may be necessary to tell MQTT Engine to replace certain characters or strings of characters with something else so the tag path and tag names can be properly created in Ignition.

Let say we have a publish received on the topic "test/data/json" with value '{ "stringTag" : "12345", "folderTag" : { "intTag" : 1, "boolTag" : true } }'. MQTT Engine will create a two folders "test", "data" and "json" followed by a tag/folder structure representing the JSON value of the payload.
