Monitoring
System monitoring is an essential part of every production-software deployment. Monitoring your MQTT brokers is vital, especially in clustered environments. HiveMQ is designed to accommodate different kinds of monitoring easily. When you run HiveMQ in critical infrastructure, we strongly recommend use of an appropriate monitoring application.
The highly-performant metrics subsystem of HiveMQ lets you monitor relevant metrics with no reduction in system performance (even in low-latency high-throughput environments).
| Some metrics are not available in the HiveMQ Community Edition. |
JMX
HiveMQ exposes a large number of metrics with Java Management Extensions (JMX) and enables monitoring with JMX monitoring tools such as JConsole.
Configuration
If you run HiveMQ behind NAT (Network Address Translation), you need to set some additional options:
JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Djava.rmi.server.hostname=<PUBLIC_IP>" JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.rmi.port=9010"
This configuration allows you to connect with JConsole using PUBLIC_IP:9010.
MBeans
By default, the following MBeans (managed Java objects) are available for monitoring:
| MBean Name | Description |
|---|---|
|
The HiveMQ metrics and statistics. A list of all available metrics is available here. |
|
Statistics and metrics about used native memory. |
|
All information about the Java Virtual Machine. |
|
Actions that can be started via JMX. |
Maintenance
Some maintenance actions are resource intensive. In general, we recommend that you do not combine system maintenance tasks with cluster topology changes. If you have recently added or removed HiveMQ instances, verify that the topology change is complete and that the cluster size is as expected before you start maintenance.
| Maintenance action | Description |
|---|---|
|
Removes outdated subscriptions that were added during network splits. |
Prometheus
Prometheus is a popular open-source solution for event monitoring and alerting. Prometheus provides a simple and powerful dimensional data model, flexible query language, efficient time-series database, and real-time metrics.
The HiveMQ Prometheus Monitoring Extension allows HiveMQ to expose metrics to a Prometheus application.
Install the HiveMQ Prometheus Monitoring Extension
-
Download the HiveMQ Prometheus Monitoring Extension from the HiveMQ Marketplace (free of charge).
-
Unpack the
hivemq-prometheus-extension-<version>.zipfile. -
Move the entire
hivemq-prometheus-extensionfolder to theextensionsfolder of your HiveMQ installation. -
Adjust the
prometheusConfiguration.propertiesfile that is located in thehivemq-prometheus-extensionfolder to meet your individual needs. For more information, see Configuration Options. -
Start HiveMQ.
Configuration Options
The HiveMQ Prometheus Monitoring Extension is preconfigured with standard property settings. You can adapt properties of the prometheusConfiguration.properties file in the hivemq-prometheus-extension folder to fulfill for your specific use case.
| Configuration | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
|
|
The port on which the servlet listens. |
|
|
The bind-address which the servlet will listen to. |
|
|
The path that Prometheus calls for the service. The path must start with a slash. For example, |
# Prometheus Monitoring Extension Configuration
# -------------------------------------------------------------------------
# The ip where the servlet will be hosted
ip=0.0.0.0
# The port where the servlet will work on
port=9399
# The path for the servlet which gets called by prometheus
# <ip>:<port> and <metric_path>
# For example 127.0.0.1:9399/metrics
metric_path=/metrics| Be sure to verify that your Prometheus server can reach the IP address of the network interface. |
Test Extension Configuration
To test the configuration of your HiveMQ Prometheus Monitoring Extension, use your browser to navigate to the <ip>:<port><metric_path> that is configured in your prometheusConfiguration.properties file. For example,
if you use the default configuration values, navigate to http://localhost:9399/metrics.
Information similar to the following verifies that the extension is available:
# HELP com_hivemq_messages_incoming_publish_rate_total Generated from Dropwizard metric import
(metric=com.hivemq.messages.incoming.publish.rate, type=com.codahale.metrics.Meter)
# TYPE com_hivemq_messages_incoming_publish_rate_total counter
com_hivemq_messages_incoming_publish_rate_total 0.0
# HELP com_hivemq_messages_incoming_pubrec_rate_total Generated from Dropwizard metric import (metric=com.hivemq.messages.incoming.pubrec.rate, type=com.codahale.metrics.Meter)
# TYPE com_hivemq_messages_incoming_pubrec_rate_total counter
com_hivemq_messages_incoming_pubrec_rate_total 0.0
...Install Prometheus
-
Download Prometheus and install the Prometheus application on a machine of your choice.
For best results, we recommend that you do not run Prometheus on the same machine as HiveMQ.
A step by step Prometheus getting started guide and detailed configuration information are available in the Prometheus documentation. -
To enable Prometheus to gather metrics from HiveMQ, add a scrape configuration to your Prometheus configuration. Scrape from the
<ip>:<port><metricPath>address that you entered in theprometheusConfiguration.propertiesfile of your HiveMQ Prometheus Monitoring Extension. -
Open the web address of your Prometheus application and verify that HiveMQ metrics are visible.
global:
scrape_interval: 15s
scrape_configs:
- job_name: 'hivemq'
scrape_interval: 5s
metrics_path: '/metrics'
static_configs:
#using port 9399 as configured in the HiveMQ Prometheus Extension
- targets: ['<node1-ip>:9399', '<node2-ip>:9399']| This example is for a 2 node cluster. If you want more nodes, add the additional nodes to the targets. |
Display HiveMQ Metrics in Prometheus
Prometheus provides built-in functionality to display metrics on-the-fly that can be helpful when you want an in-depth look into specific metrics that you do not monitor constantly. Navigate to http://localhost:9090/. When Prometheus and the HiveMQ Prometheus Monitoring Extension are configured correctly, you can access your HiveMQ metrics in the Expression field.
Frequently, Prometheus is used as a data source for monitoring dashboards such as Grafana. For a complete tutorial on how to set up a Grafana dashboard and use Prometheus as a data source to monitor HiveMQ, see HiveMQ - Monitoring with Prometheus and Grafana.
InfluxDB
InfluxDB is a widely-used open-source time-series database that is written in Go and optimized for fast, high-availability storage and retrieval of time-series data. InfluxDB is a popular choice for gathering and visualizing application metrics, Internet of Things sensor data, and real-time analytics to gain deeper insights.
The HiveMQ InfluxDB Monitoring Extension allows HiveMQ to connect to an instance of InfluxDB for time-series monitoring.
Install the HiveMQ InfluxDB Monitoring Extension

Quick Start for InfluxDB on Docker
If you do not have an InfluxDB instance set up, use the following procedure to start a not configured InfluxDB instance with Docker.
-
Download and install Docker for your platform.
-
Start an InfluxDB docker container with the command: docker run -p 8086:8086 -v $PWD:/var/lib/influxdb influxdb.
A local instance of InfluxDB starts with the port for the database set to 8086.
For more information about using InfluxDB with Docker, see the official Docker repository for InfluxDB. -
Create a database that matches the name that is set in the
databaseproperty ininfluxdb.propertiesfile.
To use the defaultdatabasevalue enter the command: curl -G http://localhost:8086/query –data-urlencode “q=CREATE DATABASE hivemq”.
Usage
After you install the HiveMQ InfluxDB Monitoring Extension and set up an InfluxDB instance, start HiveMQ. If a configuration file exists and contains the required properties, the extension has successfully started.
For a complete tutorial on how to set up a Grafana dashboard and use InfluxDB as a data source to monitor HiveMQ, see HiveMQ - Monitoring with InfluxDB and Grafana.
Available Metrics
HiveMQ exposes five different types of metrics:
| Metric Type | Description |
|---|---|
|
A gauge returns a simple value at the point of time the metric was requested. |
|
A counter is a simple incrementing and decrementing number. |
|
A histogram measures the distribution of values in a stream of data. They allow to measure min, mean, max, standard deviation of values and quantiles. |
|
A meter measures the rate at which a set of events occur. Meters measure mean, 1-, 5-, and 15-minute moving averages of events. |
|
A timer is basically a histogram of the duration of a type of event and a meter of the rate of its occurrence. It captures rate and duration information. |
