Logging

  • All non-shell commands offer an -l option by which logging to a logfile under ~/.mqtt-cli/logs can be activated
  • The logfile and log level can be configured in the MQTT-CLI configuration
  • By specifying the -l option for the shell command the whole shell-session will be logged to a logfile shown at start

Direct Logging for Publish and Subscribe

If you require debug logging for direct access, the -d (debug) and -v (verbose) options are available for the basic publish and subscribe command

$ mqtt pub -i c1 -t test -m "Hello World" -d -h broker.hivemq.com
