The MoaT-Link Server

% start main % start synopsis

MoaT-Link requires a data server for message history, retrieval of non-retained or possibly-non-existent messages, and communication between clients.

% end synopsis

Rationale

Message history

MQTT remembers zero or one message per topic. Sometimes it's important to recover old messages. The MoaT-Link server can record them.

Message retrieval

MQTT is very good at giving you a topic's message as fast as possible, but the only way to discover that a messages doesn't exist is to send another message on a different topic. (Actually, this may not even work on a multi-threaded server.)

That is not always a good idea. Thus you can just ask the server for it.

Inter-Client communication

Every program that uses MoaT-Link should connect to a server and broadcast its location and services. Thus any other MoaT-Link user can connect

Data recovery

If your MQTT cluster crashes, restoring the status from a day-old backup may not be the best strategy. The MoaT-Link server will reload the current state from its log and restore the server's state to just before the crash.

Passive Servers

Normally the MoaT-Link servers cooperate closely and continuously discuss who of them is responsible for whatever needs doing. To keep a particular server out of this discussion yet still have it exchange data with its peers, start it with the -L (“local”) option; equivalently, set “local_only” in the “server” section of the configuration.
