# Mainflux Things and Channels Provisioning Tool

A simple utility to create a list of channels and things connected to these channels with possibility to create certificates for mTLS use case.

This tool is useful for testing, and it creates a TOML format output (on stdout, can be redirected into the file as needed)
that can be used by Mainflux MQTT benchmarking tool (`mqtt-bench`).

## Installation
```
cd tools/provision
make
```

### Usage
```
./provision --help
Tool for provisioning series of Mainflux channels and things and connecting them together.
Complete documentation is available at https://docs.mainflux.io

Usage:
  provision [flags]

Flags:
      --ca string         CA for creating and signing things certificate (default "ca.crt")
      --cakey string      ca.key for creating and signing things certificate (default "ca.key")
  -h, --help              help for provision
      --host string       address for mainflux instance (default "https://localhost")
      --num int           number of channels and things to create and connect (default 10)
  -p, --password string   mainflux users password
      --ssl               create certificates for mTLS access
  -u, --username string   mainflux user
      --prefix string     name prefix for things and channels
```

Example:
```
go run tools/provision/cmd/main.go -u test@mainflux.com -p test1234 --host https://142.93.118.47
```

If you want to create a list of channels with certificates:

```
go run tools/provision/cmd/main.go  --host http://localhost --num 10 -u test@mainflux.com -p test1234 --ssl true --ca docker/ssl/certs/ca.crt --cakey docker/ssl/certs/ca.key

```

>`ca.crt` and `ca.key` are used for creating things certificate and for HTTPS,
> if you are provisioning on remote server you will have to get these files to your local
> directory so that you can create certificates for things


Example of output:

```
