Installing and running

Currently, only supported on debian-based distributions. For other distributions, see the "Building" section below.

Download the provided .deb file, and install it using apt:

$ sudo apt install ./mqtt2statsd_0.1.0_amd64.deb

Configure the MQTT and StasD server, as well as the topics to subscribe to in the configuration file /etc/mqtt2statsd/config.toml.

Once configured, enable and start the systemd service:

$ sudo systemctl enable mqtt2statsd.service
$ sudo systemctl start mqtt2statsd.service

mqtt2statsd is configured via a toml configuration file. Check example.toml for an example configuration.

To build the package, you need the following dependencies (shown here for Ubuntu, actual package names may vary slightly)

$ sudo apt install \
libssl-dev \
pkg-config \
cmake \
gcc

Then, install the latest version of rust with rustup (documentation here).

If building the debian package, install cargo-deb with:

$ cargo install cargo-deb

Clone the repository, and build the package:

$ git clone https://git.homnomnom.fr/nomis/mqtt2statsd.git
$ cd mqtt2statsd
$ cargo build --release
$ cargo deb # optional, if building deb package

You can now run the mqtt2statsd:

$ ./target/release/mqtt2statsd ./example.toml
