Right now, it's built using several external Go libraries. That requires running go get to install them before trying to build the application.

go get git.eclipse.org/gitroot/paho/org.eclipse.paho.mqtt.golang.git
go get gopkg.in/inconshreveable/log15.v2
go get gopkg.in/yaml.v2
go get gopkg.in/gorp.v1
go get github.com/go-sql-driver/mysql

Make sure you have the $GOROOT variable set up correctly.

Then run go install github.com/bradberger/mqtt-client-logger && mqtt-client-logger ;

Run the install script from the base directory. It should take care of everything, at least on Ubuntu.

If the version of Ubuntu is using Upstart (14.04), use install-upstart

./install-upstart

Otherwise, for newer versions use systemd:

./install-systemd

There's a Dockerfile ready to go. Need help running a Docker image with Go? Check out the docs here.

sudo service mqttlogger start|stop|restart

Best to stay connected or to disconnect after the duration and then reconnect?

INSERT INTO brokers(Server,Username,Password,ClientID,Reconnect,CleanSession) VALUES("tcp://test.mqtt.dev:1883","superuser","password","go-logger",1,0);
INSERT INTO topics(Broker, Topic) VALUES(1, "$SYS/broker/bytes/received");
INSERT INTO topics(Broker, Topic) VALUES(1, "$SYS/broker/clients/total");
INSERT INTO topics(Broker, Topic) VALUES(1, "$SYS/#");
