I see no way to get a similar warning with mosquitto broker. can anyone think of a way to monitor its operating status?
If you run it externally from HA you can monitor it by ping. That being said, I’ve been running the addon Mosquitto broker for 5-6 years and haven’t had a single issue. Do you really need to monitor it? It is very reliable out of the box.
You can also look into deploying a monitoring tool. I myself use PRTG, where you can set up MQTT monitoring if you need it.
yes, mosquito is very stable but if it falls, a smart house should warn you about it.
I think I am going to check it by creating an automatism that checks that data is received from a sensor on a regular basis.
With this template I monitor the whole process including mqtt mosquito, z2m, etc…
