See ‘aws help’ for descriptions of global parameters.

Note

The default endpoint data.iot.[region].amazonaws.com is intended for testing purposes only. For production code it is strongly recommended to use the custom endpoint for your account (retrievable via the iot describe-endpoint command) to ensure best availability and reachability of the service.

Synopsis

  publish
--topic <value>
[--qos <value>]
[--retain | --no-retain]
[--payload <value>]
[--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml]
[--generate-cli-skeleton <value>]

Options

--topic (string)

The name of the MQTT topic.

--qos (integer)

The Quality of Service (QoS) level.

--retain | --no-retain (boolean)

A Boolean value that determines whether to set the RETAIN flag when the message is published.

Setting the RETAIN flag causes the message to be retained and sent to new subscribers to the topic.

Valid values: true | false

Default value: false

--payload (blob)

The message body. MQTT accepts text, binary, and empty (null) message payloads.

Publishing an empty (null) payload with retain = true deletes the retained message identified by topic from IoT Core.

--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml (string) Reads arguments from the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, those values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally. This may not be specified along with --cli-input-yaml.

--generate-cli-skeleton (string) Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. Similarly, if provided yaml-input it will print a sample input YAML that can be used with --cli-input-yaml. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.

See ‘aws help’ for descriptions of global parameters.

Output

None
