How to integrate an external RabbitMQ queue with IOT Edge Hub

Question

Hi There,

I am new to the world of Azure and have a requirement to forward tracking data from telematics devices to IOT Edge Hub.

I am not too sure where to start as I am routing the raw data to RabbitMQ and need to get it into IOT Hub from RabbitMQ.

I have a queue that contains all of my data in Rabbit MQ and I already have an IOT Edge Hub so I need some guidance on how to get the messages from Rabbit into the IOT HUB.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

If you are new to Azure IoT Edge, I suggest to start with a MS Learn learning path. (or check out this MS Learn collection)

I do not see a MQTT client module in the Azure IoT Edge module market place. So I suggest building one yourself based on a MQTT Client library like this (This is a C# example but custom modules can be written in C, C#, Python, NodeJS, Java. Pick your weapon of choice).

If building a module is new to you, please check out the documentation (again multiple languages are supported). Examples of other custom modules are seen here.
