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).

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:

./provision -u test@mainflux.com -p test1234 --host https://142.93.118.47

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

./provision --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:

# List of things that can be connected to MQTT broker

thing_id = "0eac601b-6d54-4767-b8b7-594aaf9990d3"
thing_key = "07713103-513f-43c7-b7fe-500c1af23d7d"
