I have a device, sending several data over MQTT under 1 main topic and several subtopics.
Example:
P1/highest_peak_pwr_ts = 240204154500W
P1/energy_delivered_tariff1 = 2078.767
P1/energy_delivered_tariff2 = 2829.133
I use folowing config:
[[inputs.mqtt_consumer]]
servers = [“tcp://127.0.0.1:1883”]
topics = [
“P1/energy_delivered_tariff1”,
“P1/energy_delivered_tariff2”,
]
data_format = “value”
data_type = “float”
[[processors.rename]]
[[processors.rename.replace]]
measurement = “mqtt_consumer”
dest = “P1Meter”
[[inputs.mqtt_consumer.topic_parsing]]
data_format = “value”
data_type = “float”
Problem1:
When I look into the database, I see the “_field” which is always “value”. When I do a rename of this, and when I do that in 2 different mqtt_consumer_parsing statements, the second is ignored, I can only get 1 name in the field.
In the _field I would like things like “tariff1”, and “tarrif2”, etc… Tried 3 miljon times with a lot of different things, no joy however.
Problem2:
How to convert and use the mqtt field P1/highest_peak_pwr_ts = 240204154500W
This is a timestamp but I have no clue how to convert it and use it.
