General discussion • Re: MQTT explorer (or alternative) for Raspberry Pi OS?

So I thought MQTT explorer would do the job but unfortunately it looks like they only support amd64 but not arm64.

There seem to be both 32-bit and 64-bit arm releases of the current v0.4.0-beta.6 available on their Releases page?

On my 64-bit RasPiOS Bookworm system this .deb version appears to install and run. From recollection, it looks pretty much the same as installing the app on my MS Windows10 system. https://github.com/thomasnordquist/MQTT ... _arm64.deb



But just because you can do it doesn't mean you should! Simply monitoring a few messages published to your local Broker would be better done with the mosquitto_sub shell client, or from a script in some higher level language such as Python, using one of the available API libraries. MQTT Explorer is very smart and probably 'overkill' for such a basic task.

MQTT is not a demanding protocol. Your RPi4 will cope perfectly well co-hosting Subscriber, Publisher, Broker and Explorer all at the same time.
