Can't get this extension to save metrics from Groov EPIC controller

[mtnguru]

I got this extension to work and it now saves what appear to be 50+ metrics from the hivemq broker into the Influx DB. However it doesn't appear to be saving any metrics from the Groov EPIC controller. Have I configured something incorrectly?

Hi @mtnguru,

Typically this should work out of the box. It is possible that some topic or setting is not matched correctly.
Set your HiveMQ Log level to TRACE and share the outcome of your log after some publishes from your device that are not written to Influx, so we can identify what is going wrong.

To set the log level to TRACE go to {HIVEMQ_HOME}/conf/logback.xml and change line 69 from ${HIVEMQ_LOG_LEVEL:-INFO} to ${HIVEMQ_LOG_LEVEL:-TRACE}
Can you also please share your sparkplug.properties file?

Regards,
Florian

Can someone please help me get this extension working? I've tried just about every setting in the sparkplug.properties file I can think of. I've submitted multiple requests between here and the community.hivemq.com blog pages but can't get the help I need.

I get many hivemq metrics that load into influxdb but I cannot get any actual metrics from the Groov EPIC controller to show up. My management is getting perturbed and is telling me to look elsewhere for a solution. Does anyone have a method to get Groov EPIC metrics to go through an MQTT broker and load into InfluxDB?
