The following command shows all the messages published to topics that match the regex but not the exact topic itself.
mosquitto_sub -h localhost -u user -P pass -t 'devices/#'
{"value":"50"}
{"value":"45"}
For example the above json messages were published to topic devices/1234/transducer/46364/ but I could not figure any way to print the topic as well using mosquitto_sub.
Use the -v option
mosquitto_sub -h localhost -u user -P pass -v -t 'devices/#'
From the man page:
-v, --verbose
Print received messages verbosely. With this argument, messages
will be printed as "topic payload". When this argument is not
given, the messages are printed as "payload".

I am new to Mosquitto. I have installed Mosquitto and Mosquitto Client in Ubuntu. I am trying to subscribe with client-id also publish with client-id, please look the command that I have run in console, but unfortunately, the subscriber is not receiving the message.
Subscription
mosquitto_sub -h localhost -t temp/city1 -c -q 2 --id client-one
Publish
mosquitto_pub -h localhost -t temp/city1 -m "32 Celsius" -q 2 --id client-one
but if I Publish message without client id the subscriber is receiving message, so please help me where I did the mistake?
As mentioned in the comment, clientIds are just that, they are a unique identifier for each client connected to the broker.
ClientIds need to be totally unique, if a second client tries to connect with a clientid that is already connected the broker must disconnect the first client to allow the second to connect (this is dictated by the specification). In the example you have given the subscriber will be disconnected before it receives the message published by the second.
Messages are published to topics and clients can subscribe to these topics (or patterns of topics with wildcards)
So using the mosquitto command line tools you can do the following:
mosquitto_sub -v -t 'foo/bar'
This will subscribe to the topic foo/bar and will print out the topic and then message when ever a message is published to that topic. To publish a message containing the string testing you would use:
mosquitto_pub -t 'foo/bar' -m 'testing'
The mosquitto command line tools will generate random clientids if none are provided on the command line.
After googling for hours and trying not to get lost in the different tshark versions I still can't figure out what command line options to tshark I should use to get the full (reassembled) JSON requests and responses (the JSON data structrues).
tshark 2.2.2 used on a live eth0 interface, not to parse pcap.files.
The requests and responses are gziped and need to be decoded.
All the related wireshark issues that seemed related are marked as "fixed" so I think in the 2.2.2 it should be possible.
I found a working solution. It doesn't work on a live interface and requires to first save a pcap file but it is the best I managed to do with tshark.
Step1 (capture network trafic):
tshark -i eth0 -f "port 9088" -w capture.pcap
Step2 (list captured tcp streams):
tshark -r capture.pcap -T fields -e tcp.stream | sort -u
Step3 (dump the content of one particular tcp stream):
tshark -nr capture.pcap -q -d tcp.port==9088,http -z follow,http,ascii,_your_stream_number
Noice the "-d tcp.port==9088,http" option to force http decoding on this port as in my case it is a socks5 proxy running on that port.
Most importantly "-z follow,http,ascii,_your_stream_number" where the "follow,http" feature decodes gziped http body content and is undocumented and only available from version 2.2.0 of wireshark/tshark.
I am unable to receive messages on first time connection. for in more detail,user A is connected and publishing messages,but user B is not connected to that topic.So when user B will connect,he will not get any message from user A because there is first time connection b/w user a and user b.
How we can resolve this issue ?
Thanks
A principle of pub/sub is that the publisher and subscriber are decoupled, so you shouldn't really be thinking in terms of user a being connected to user b.
If you want a client to receive messages when they are not connected (leaving retained messages to one side), the only way to do this is:
Connect beforehand with cleansession=false
Subscribe with QoS>0 (or on mosquitto use the queue_qos0_messages option)
Ensure that messages are published with QoS>0
When the client reconnects, use cleansession=false
To test this, try:
mosquitto_sub -i prajbot-singh -h test.mosquitto.org -t prajbot-singh -c -q 1
Then quit from mosquitto_sub and run:
mosquitto_pub -h test.mosquitto.org -t prajbot-singh -m hello -q 1
And run mosquitto_sub again:
mosquitto_sub -i prajbot-singh -h test.mosquitto.org -t prajbot-singh -c -q 1
I'm just playing around with mosquitto ans mqtt protocol
following the very good video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=WE7GVIFRV7Q
trying to test it on my localhost
in a terminal window I run :
mosquitto_sub -t "nodeconf/eu" -v
but when I run this snippet:
var mqtt = require('mqtt');
var client = mqtt.connect();
client.on('connect', function () {
client.subscribe('nodeconf/eu');
client.publish('nodeconf/eu','Hello');
});
client.on('message', function (topic, message) {
// message is Buffer
console.log(message.toString());
client.end();
});
I don't see (in my terminal window) any Hello.
What's wrong, please ?
BTW
I'm also looking for good tutorial and guide on the topic thanks.
You have to add a console.log to your second (the javascript) client to see why it doesn't publishes the Hello properly.
But you can do a typical test with the mosquitto clients:
1) Subscribing to a topic:
mosquitto_sub -d -h localhost -p 1883 -t "myfirst/test"
2) Other client publishes a message content to that topic:
mosquitto_pub -d -h localhost -p 1883 -t "myfirst/test" -m "Hello"
3) All the subscribed clients to this topic will automatically get the message.
I want to parse the standard header outputs of tshark. Since the default doesn't work, I am using a custom field parser that does almost the same thing. What I am missing is the resolution of the name of the protocol. My command is:
sudo tshark -b 256 -P -T fields -e frame.time_epoch -e ip.src -e ip.dst -e ip.proto -e ip.len -e col.Info -E separator=';' -b filesize:65535 -b files:10 -w tshark_tmp
This almost works, what I get is (this example is capturing two pings):
1378869929.862628000;192.168.78.252;192.168.78.53;1;84;Echo (ping) request id=0x0abe, seq=65/16640, ttl=64
1378869929.863188000;192.168.78.53;192.168.78.252;1;84;Echo (ping) reply id=0x0abe, seq=65/16640, ttl=64 (request in 1)
The same two pings look like this in the normal, no custom field tshark:
0.000000 192.168.78.252 -> 192.168.78.53 ICMP 98 Echo (ping) request id=0x0abe, seq=13/3328, ttl=64
0.000707 192.168.78.53 -> 192.168.78.252 ICMP 98 Echo (ping) reply id=0x0abe, seq=13/3328, ttl=64 (request in 1)
The main difference that I need to solve is in mine I get 84 for the protocol, whereas tshark prints ICMP 98. I could implement my own lookup table, but there is a large number of protocols and tshark already knows how to decode them, I just need to figure out how to get that in my parsing.
As of the 1.11.x and 1.12 versions of tshark, the field names are _ws.col.Protocol and _ws.col.Info, instead of col.Protocol and col.Info.
Example:
tshark -T fields -e _ws.col.Protocol -e _ws.col.Info
Source: col.Protocol missing from tshark 1.11.3 and 1.12.0-rc2
Found the answer
-e col.Protocol
