Handling MQTT with IoT hub

Hi I am looking for a solution to handle MQTT with IoT hub. The problem is my topics do not match the required format to connect directly to IoT hub. Which solution should I use to connect my MQTT devices (which can not be changed) to IoT hub. The solution needs to be fast, reliable and able to handle up to 1 Million devices. I do not really want to install a third party / oss broker on Azure - I would prefer something already on the Azure platform - but open to suggestrions. The solution needs to be able to autoscale with minimal user intervention. Or should I be looking to another MQTT hosting provider?

    Hello @Red255 ,

    Unfortunately as of today there isn't a way to connect your brownfield MQTT devices directly to IoTHub, since the topics they use do not match with the prerequisites described in Understand Azure IoT Hub MQTT support | Microsoft Learn.

    After making a successful connection, a device can send messages to IoT Hub using devices/{device_id}/messages/events/ or devices/{device_id}/messages/events/{property_bag} as a Topic Name.

    May I request you to please log this feature request on the product feedback page: Microsoft Azure | Share your Ideas | Azure IoT (Hub, DPS, SDKs)
