MQTT Blackbox Exporter

Tests MQTT messaging roundtrips (publish/subscribe on same topic).

Definition of roundtrip:

start subscriber on $topic
start publisher on $topic
publish $messages on $topic
receive $message on $topic

Build

$ mkdir -p ${GOPATH}/src/github.com/inovex/
$ git clone https://github.com/inovex/mqtt_blackbox_exporter.git ${GOPATH}/src/github.com/inovex/mqtt_blackbox_exporter/
$ cd ${GOPATH}/src/github.com/inovex/mqtt_blackbox_exporter/
$ make

This will build the mqtt_blackbox_exporter for all target platforms and write them to the build/ directory.

Binaries are provided on Github, see https://github.com/inovex/mqtt_blackbox_exporter.
