cluster

Cluster two or more EMQ X brokers:

cluster join <Node> Join the cluster
cluster leave Leave the cluster
cluster force-leave <Node> Remove a node from the cluster
cluster status Query cluster status and nodes

Suppose we have two EMQ X nodes on localhost and we want to cluster them together:

Folder Node MQTT Port
emqx1 emqx1@127.0.0.1 1883
emqx2 emqx2@127.0.0.1 2883

Start emqx1 and emqx2:

$ cd emqx1 && ./bin/emqx start

$ cd emqx2 && ./bin/emqx start

Under emqx2 folder:

$ ./bin/emqx_ctl cluster join emqx1@127.0.0.1

Join the cluster successfully.
Cluster status: [{running_nodes,['emqx1@127.0.0.1','emqx2@127.0.0.1']}]

Query cluster status:

$ ./bin/emqx_ctl cluster status

Cluster status: [{running_nodes,['emqx2@127.0.0.1','emqx1@127.0.0.1']}]

Message route between nodes:

# Subscribe topic 'x' on emqx1 node
$ mosquitto_sub -t x -q 1 -p 1883

# Publish to topic 'x' on emqx2 node
$ mosquitto_pub -t x -q 1 -p 2883 -m hello

emqx2 leaves the cluster:

$ cd emqx2 && ./bin/emqx_ctl cluster leave

Or remove emqx2 from the cluster on emqx1 node:

$ cd emqx1 && ./bin/emqx_ctl cluster force-leave emqx2@127.0.0.1

Rule test1:1556242324634254201 created

注解

A rule is identified by a server-side-generated ID. So run 'rules create' multiple times using the same name will create multiple rules with the same name but different IDs.

rules list

List all rules:

$ ./bin/emqx_ctl rules list

rule(id='test1:1556242324634254201', name='test1', for='message.publish', rawsql='select * from "t/a"', actions=[{"name":"built_in:inspect_action","params":{"a":1}}], enabled='true', description='Rule for debug')

rules show

Query a rule:

## Query a rule by whose ID is 'test1:1556242324634254201'
$ ./bin/emqx_ctl rules show 'test1:1556242324634254201'

rule(id='test1:1556242324634254201', name='test1', for='message.publish', rawsql='select * from "t/a"', actions=[{"name":"built_in:inspect_action","params":{"a":1}}], enabled='true', description='Rule for debug')

rules delete

Delete a rule:

## Delete a rule whose ID is 'test1:1556242324634254201'
$ ./bin/emqx_ctl rules delete 'test1:1556242324634254201'

ok

rule-actions

rule-actions list [-t [<type>]] [-k [<hook>]] List all actions
rule-actions show <ActionId> Show a rule action

重要

Actions could be built-in actions, or provided by emqx plugins, but cannot be added/deleted dynamically via CLI/API.

rule-actions show

Query actions:

## Query the action named 'built_in:inspect_action'
$ ./bin/emqx_ctl rule-actions show 'built_in:inspect_action'

action(name='built_in:inspect_action', app='emqx_rule_engine', for='$any', type='built_in', params=#{}, description='Inspect the details of action params for debug purpose')

rule-actions list

List actions by hook or resource-type:

## List all the actions
$ ./bin/emqx_ctl rule-actions list

action(name='built_in:inspect_action', app='emqx_rule_engine', for='$any', type='built_in', params=#{}, description='Inspect the details of action params for debug purpose')

## List all the hooks whose resource type is web_hook
$ ./bin/emqx_ctl rule-actions list -t web_hook

action(name='web_hook:event_action', app='emqx_web_hook', for='$events', type='web_hook', params=#{'$resource' => #{description => <<"Bind a resource to this action">>,required => true,title => <<"Resource ID">>,type => string},template => #{description => <<"The payload template to be filled with variables before sending messages">>,required => false,schema => #{},title => <<"Payload Template">>,type => object}}, description='Forward Events to Web Server')
