Configure client settings

The client settings configuration for MQTT are automatically generated when you add a new data source. If you experience problems with timeouts or when the adapter limits are exceeded in terms of browse or subscription operation, you can change the client settings configuration.

Postman

To configure client settings using Postman:

1. To initialize the configuration, use the PUT method in conjunction with the http://localhost:5590/api/v1/configuration/<componentId>/ClientSettings REST endpoint.

   Note: If you installed the adapter to listen on a non-default port, update 5590 to the port number in use.

2. Copy and paste an example configuration for client settings into the Body section.

   For sample JSONs, see the Examples section.

3. Update the example JSON parameters for your environment.

4. Select Send to push the configuration to the adapter.

EdgeCmd

To configure client settings using EdgeCmd:

5. Using a text editor, create an empty text file.

6. Copy and paste an example configuration for client settings into the file.

7. Update the example JSON parameters for your environment.

   For sample JSONs, see the Examples section.

8. Save the file. For example, ConfigureClientSettings.json.

9. Open a command line session. Change directory to the location of your saved file.

10. Use the following edgecmd command with the name of your JSON file. For this example, we will use ConfigureClientSettings.json for the saved file.

    edgecmd -port <port number> -cid <componentId> set ClientSettings -file /.ConfigureClientSettings.json
