Default Properties
MQTT CLI uses some default values which can be overwritten. MQTT CLI stores the default values in a properties file which is located under the user home directory of your OS under $HOME/.mqtt-cli/config.properties.
On the first successful execution of the CLI this file will be generated and will look like the following example:
mqtt.host=localhost
mqtt.port=1883
mqtt.version=5
client.id.prefix=mqtt
ws.path=/mqtt
client.id.length=8
logfile.level=verbose
logfile.path=/Users/tseeberg/.mqtt-cli/logs/
A properties file lists all the properties as key-value pairs. Therefore you have to specify the values to the following keys if you want to overwrite the given default values.
