Explore

Explore is your personalized home page in the HiveMQ Platform.
When you log in, the platform opens on Explore to show you the current state of your network and help you choose your next action.

Click Ask Bea on any page to chat with the platform AI assistant. Bea recommends next steps based on your current network state.

What You Can Do In Explore

The Explore page is your starting point at the beginning of each platform session. On Explore, you choose your next task and the platform guides to the right step: Connect, Contextualize, Analyze, or Act.

To make use of the intelligence capabilities in the Contextualize and Analyze tabs, HiveMQ 4.55 (LTS) or later is required.

Getting started

The Getting started card of Explore is a welcome guide that lists four tasks and tracks your progress:

  • Connect a broker

  • Start streaming data

  • Discover ungoverned traffic and create a namespace

  • Deploy an agent

You can return to the Explore page at any time to see which tasks are complete. To close the Getting started steps, click Dismiss.

AI insights

The AI insights area of Explore shows real-time observations about the current state of your network. Each insight recommends an action or points to an area that needs your attention.

+ The insights are context-aware and adapt to the state of your network:

+ If your network has no connected brokers or edge instances, the insights point to setup tasks. For example, prompts to Deploy your first MQTT broker, Bring your team on board, or Learn HiveMQ fundamentals. If your network has connected brokers or edge instances, the insights point to next steps. For example, View Clusters, Deploy Agent, and Add Namespace.

Scale your data backbone

The Scale your data backbone area of Explore shows quick-action options to create or expand your network. For example, Download HiveMQ, Deploy a Broker, Deploy an AI agent (currently in public preview).
