ApsaraMQ for MQTT:QueryMqttTraceMessageSubscribe

Last Updated:May 29, 2026

Queries the delivery trace of a message. If a message is not sent or received as expected, you can call this operation to view the details about the message. For example, you can query the clients that subscribe to the message and the time when the message is delivered. This operation helps you locate the problem and identify the cause of the problem.

Operation description

  • Each successful call to the QueryMqttTraceMessageSubscribe operation increases the messaging transactions per second (TPS) by one. This affects the billing of your instance. For more information, see Billing rules.

  • You can call this operation up to 500 times per second per account. If the limit is exceeded, throttling is triggered. This may affect your business. We recommend that you take note of this limit when you call this operation. For more information, see Limits on QPS.

Test

RAM authorization

The table below describes the authorization required to call this API. You can define it in a Resource Access Management (RAM) policy. The table's columns are detailed below:

  • Action: The actions can be used in the Action element of RAM permission policy statements to grant permissions to perform the operation.

  • API: The API that you can call to perform the action.

  • Access level: The predefined level of access granted for each API. Valid values: create, list, get, update, and delete.

  • Resource type: The type of the resource that supports authorization to perform the action. It indicates if the action supports resource-level permission. The specified resource must be compatible with the action. Otherwise, the policy will be ineffective.

    • For APIs with resource-level permissions, required resource types are marked with an asterisk (*). Specify the corresponding Alibaba Cloud Resource Name (ARN) in the Resource element of the policy.

    • For APIs without resource-level permissions, it is shown as All Resources. Use an asterisk (*) in the Resource element of the policy.

  • Condition key: The condition keys defined by the service. The key allows for granular control, applying to either actions alone or actions associated with specific resources. In addition to service-specific condition keys, Alibaba Cloud provides a set of common condition keys applicable across all RAM-supported services.

  • Dependent action: The dependent actions required to run the action. To complete the action, the RAM user or the RAM role must have the permissions to perform all dependent actions.
