A simple Python-based MQTT-to-Kinesis Bridge example
To get this example working with Python 2.7+, first install boto 2.23+ and paho-mqtt 0.4.91+ using:
$ pip install boto
$ pip install paho-mqtt
and follow the instructions here to get your credentials setup in the AWS SDK for Python (aka. boto) for use. The credentials you use should permit at least these Kinesis actions:
PutRecord```. Both the ```MergeShards``` and ```SplitShard``` actions are
unused in this example.
Then install the Mosquitto MQTT Broker by following the instructions [here](http://mosquitto.org/download/), for
your OS of choice.
Once the Mosquitto broker is installed and the AWS SDK for Python is configured
with your credentials, in one Terminal Window or Command Line Shell:
$ mosquitto
and then in another, run the Kinesis Bridge:
$ python bridge.py <stream_name>
which will activate the [Mosquitto](http://mosquitto.org/) MQTT Broker and the
MQTT-to-Kinesis Bridge example, respectively.
The defaults for the bridge is to connect to us-east-1, however you can specify the region with the --region argument
$ python bridge.py <stream_name> --region
To send an example message to the MQTT endpoint that will then flow to the
Kinesis stream named ```<stream_name>``` you should post a message to
the ```mqttkb``` MQTT topic.<br/>
(Aside: ```mqttkb``` stands for "MQTT Kinesis Bridge")
In a third window you might run the following ```mosquitto_pub``` command to
submit an MQTT message to the ```localhost``` broker:
$ mosquitto_pub -h localhost -t "mqttkb/test" -m "howdy world_00”
which will result in close to the following being shown in the Kinesis Bridge's
output.
$ python bridge.py my-first-stream { "StreamDescription": { "HasMoreShards": false, "Shards": [ { "HashKeyRange": { "EndingHashKey": "340282366920938463463374607431768211455", "StartingHashKey": "0" }, "SequenceNumberRange": { "StartingSequenceNumber": "49535927568753752356407087005221112966147386710595469313" }, "ShardId": "shardId-000000000000" } ], "StreamARN": "arn:aws:kinesis:us-east-1:123gibberish:stream/my-first-stream", "StreamName": "my-first-stream", "StreamStatus": "ACTIVE" } } Starting MQTT-to-Kinesis bridge Bridge Connected, looping...
