InfluxData has made a strategic decision to end-of-life (EOL) the
|
||
Native Collector - MQTT feature that is currently available in InfluxDB Cloud (TSM).
|
||
This EOL will take effect **April 30th, 2024**, after which this feature will be
|
||
completely removed from InfluxDB Cloud (TSM) and will no longer be supported.
|
||
|
||
Please refer to the FAQ below for more details and guidance on alternate
|
||
solutions currently available.

||
### What is the Native Collector - MQTT Feature?
|
||
|
||
The Native Collector - MQTT feature was introduced in InfluxDB Cloud in 2022 as
|
||
a way to ingest data directly from MQTT sources into InfluxDB Cloud.
|
||
This feature has been removed and is no longer available to new customers or
|
||
existing customers who have not been using it.
|
||
It was only available to a limited number of existing customers who were
|
||
actively using it.
|
||
|
||
### Why is this feature being EOL'd?
|
||
|
||
The adoption of this feature was lower than anticipated given most customers
|
||
continued to use [Telegraf](/telegraf/v1/), InfluxData’s data collection agent,
|
||
which provides more features for MQTT ingestion than this feature did.
|
||
After a thorough assessment, we determined that our customers can have a similar
|
||
(and even superior) experience using the
|
||
[MQTT Consumer Telegraf input plugin](https://www.influxdata.com/integration/mqtt-telegraf-consumer/).
|
||
|
||
### What alternatives are available in light of this EOL announcement?
|
||
|
||
We recommend using [Telegraf](/telegraf/v1/) with the [MQTT Consumer Telegraf input plugin](https://www.influxdata.com/integration/mqtt-telegraf-consumer/)
|
||
as an alternative to the Native Collector - MQTT feature.
|
||
|
||
Telegraf is InfluxData’s popular open source data collection agent that comes with 300+ plugins for data input and output,
|
||
including MQTT.
|
||
|
||
### What are the expected next steps?
|
||
|
||
The Native Collector - MQTT feature will continue to work and function until
|
||
**April 30th, 2024**.
|
||
In the meantime, we won't release any new enhancements to the feature.
|
||
After the EOL date, we will decommission the feature, and any MQTT subscriptions that you have will no
|
||
longer receive and ingest data into InfluxDB.
|
||
|
||
### Will I lose any data already ingested?
|
||
|
||
No, data already written to InfluxDB will not be affected by this change.
|
||
|
||
### Where can I get more information on using Telegraf as a replacement for Native Collector - MQTT?
|
||
|
||
See [MQTT Consumer Telegraf input plugin](https://www.influxdata.com/integration/mqtt-telegraf-consumer/).
