To launch the Chariot MQTT Client, first log into the Chariot MQTT server web front-end. Then click on the MQTT Client View under Configuration Main Nav → MQTT → Test Client on the Chariot left-hand navigation pane.
Add Server Connection
To get started, navigate to the Connections tab and add a server connection by clicking on the Add Connection button. Fill out the Connection configuration (MQTT username, password, address/url, port, client id, etc) and then click the Add button. This can be any MQTT server (e.g., test.mosquitto.org). If you do want to connect to the local Chariot MQTT Server using the Chariot MQTT Client, please be sure to turn on the trial timer so the server will accept incoming connections. See our documentation for default MQTT account credentials.
Next, click Connect the connect icon to connect to the newly added MQTT server. Alternatively you can use the dropdown in the header to select from the available connections and clicking on the connect/disconnect buttons. Your current MQTT connection and its state will be displayed in the upper right of the window.
Publish and Subscribe
Next, move to the Publish/Subscribe tab to setup your MQTT subscriptions and publish messages if desired. For example, subscribe on '#' in the Subscribe view - set the topic to '#' and click the Subscribe button.
Now publish a message using the Publish view and watch it show up decoded in the Messages view.
View the Topic Tree
Lastly, view the complete, live topic tree with all topics and messages visible across all MQTT server connections. Simply navigate the Topic Tree view to find the messages you want by topic. Each topic will show how many messages the Chariot MQTT Client has cached locally. When you select the leaf node / last topic token, the Messages view will automatically be populated with all messages available on that topic. The subscriptions you make in the Publish/Subscribe tab apply in the Topic Tree viewer.
