Get subscription relationship from MongoDB

Set up the MongoDB database and set the user name and password to root/public. Take MacOS X as an example:

$ brew install mongodb
$ brew services start mongodb
## Add root/public user
$ use mqtt;
$ db.createUser({user: "root", pwd: "public", roles: [{role: "readWrite", db: "mqtt"}]});
## Modify the configuration and disable anonymous authentication
$ vi /usr/local/etc/mongod.conf
    security:
    authorization: enabled
$ brew services restart mongodb

Create the mqtt_sub table:

$ mongo 127.0.0.1/mqtt -uroot -ppublic
db.createCollection("mqtt_sub");

Create rules:

Open EMQX Dashboard (opens new window) and select the “Rules” tab on the left.

Then fill in the rule SQL:

SELECT * FROM "$events/client_connected"
