Export data from Message Queue for MQTT to other Alibaba Cloud services

Working mechanism

You must create data outbound rules before you can export data from Message Queue for MQTT to other Alibaba Cloud services. Message Queue for MQTT uses data outbound rules to forward messages from Message Queue for MQTT clients to other Alibaba Cloud services. You can call APIs of the Alibaba Cloud services to obtain messages from the Message Queue for MQTT clients.

Scenarios

Client data reporting

A large number of clients report their status data to Message Queue for MQTT by using the MQTT protocol. After you configure a data outbound rule to map the topics of Message Queue for MQTT and the topics of Message Queue for Apache RocketMQ, you can start the consumers of Message Queue for Apache RocketMQ in the backend service application to process the reported data.

Limits

• You can export data only from Message Queue for MQTT to Message Queue for Apache RocketMQ.

Resource mapping methods

Message Queue for MQTT supports multi-level topics, whereas Message Queue for Apache RocketMQ supports single-level topics. Therefore, when a data outbound rule is used to map resources, a level-1 topic in Message Queue for MQTT is mapped to a topic in Message Queue for Apache RocketMQ, and data in the level-1 topic in Message Queue for MQTT is exported to the Message Queue for Apache RocketMQ topic. Level-2 and level-3 topics in Message Queue for MQTT are mapped to the message properties in Message Queue for Apache RocketMQ.
