MQTT

You can export statistics to an MQTT server. The connection should be defined in the Glances configuration file as following:

.. code-block:: ini

[mqtt]
host=localhost
# Overwrite device name in the topic (see detail in PR#2701)
#devicename=localhost
port=883
tls=true
user=glances
password=glances
topic=glances
topic_structure=per-metric
callback_api_version=2

and run Glances with:

.. code-block:: console

$ glances --export mqtt

The topic_structure field aims at configuring the way stats are exported to MQTT (see #1798):

per-metric: one event per metric (default behavior)
per-plugin: one event per plugin
