cp /usr/local/mqtt-zabbix/mqtt-zabbix.cfg.example /etc/mqtt-zabbix/mqtt-zabbix.cfg

cp /usr/local/mqtt-zabbix/mqtt-zabbix.default /etc/default/mqtt-zabbix
## Edit /etc/default/mqtt-zabbix, /etc/mqtt-zabbix/mqtt-zabbix.cfg to suit
cp /usr/local/mqtt-zabbix/keys.csv.example /etc/mqtt-zabbix/keys.csv

CONFIGURE

Configuration is stored in /etc/mqtt-zabbix/mqtt-zabbix.cfg

Message topics are mapped to Zabbix key names, and are stored in /etc/mqtt-zabbix/keys.csv When setting up a Zabbix item, ensure you use item type of Zabbix trapper, and check the "Type of information" field is defined correctly. MQTT can transport all sorts of information, and will happily try to deliver a string to your integer data type! zbx_mqtt_template.xml is an example Zabbix template
