MQTT Preread#

Enables extracting client IDs and usernames from CONNECT packets for Message Queuing Telemetry Transport (MQTT) versions 3.1.1 and 5.0.

When building from the source code, this module isn't built by default; it should be enabled with the ‑‑with‑stream_mqtt_preread_module build option.

In packages and images from our repos, the module is included in the build.

Configuration Example#

stream {

    mqtt_preread on;

    upstream mqtt {
        hash $mqtt_preread_clientid;
        # ...
    }
}
