Re: [mosquitto-dev] Plug in documentation

[Tim McCracken <Tim.McCracken@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Greetings,

 

I am new to MQTT and mosquito. From the docs, Mosquitto looks like a great product! And I have downloaded it and done a little functional testing with the sample subscriber and publisher.

 

I noted in the mosquitto.conf file that it supports plugins for user authentication and authorization for topics – I need both. But I haven’t located any documentation on the plugin APIs. Where might I find that?

 

Also, I haven’t seen any performance benchmarks. I am just looking for some very broad idea of forwarding performance.  I know without specifying all sorts of variables it’s pretty well impossible, but I am just looking for orders of magnitude type numbers. Should I expect it to forward 100, 1000, 10000 or 100000 (or whatever range) messages per second on a small Windows server or desktop? Or are there some existing benchmarks somewhere?

 

Thanks!

 

Tim
