Number of retained messages inconsistent
overlinden opened this issue · comments
Hi community,
I found a strange behavior of the broker.
The number of retained messages reported via
$SYS/broker/retained messages/count
does not match the number of messages returned by
mosquitto_sub -t "#" -v --retained-only
In my example the $sys topic reports 101 retained messages but the mosquitto_sub command returns 50 only.
Can you explain why?
Which number is correct?
Best regards
Oliver
$SYS/broker/retained messages/count includes all retained messages including the messages on system topics (e.g. $SYS/#)
mosquitto_sub -t "#" -v --retained-only receives only messages retained on "user" topics (not starting with $
@ckrey Thank you for the clarification. Is there any metric available to get the number of retained user-topic messages only?
