Translate payloads from The Things Network to an OpenTelemetry endpoint.
Create a configuration file with the following content:
ttn:
mqtt_user: <your TTN MQTT Username>
mqtt_pass: <your TTN MQTT Password>
mqtt_server: <your MQTT Server>
mqtt_tls: True
lookups:
enabled: True
server: https://<your device api server>The data lookup functionality allows you to retrieve more information about the device via a remote API.
Initially we only support the lookup of static lat/long coordinates via the Make Monmouth Sensor Management Portal as part of our Air Quality Sensor network, allowing us to update the location of the sensor on a map without needing the additional cost of a GPS module in the sensor itself.
Pull Requests to improve this part of the code are welcome!
Make sure you have an Open Telemetry endpoint available, then run the following:
poetry run opentelemetry-instrument \
--traces_exporter console,otlp \
--metrics_exporter console,otlp \
--logs_exporter console,otlp \
--service_name ttn2otel \
--exporter_otlp_endpoint http://127.0.0.1:4318 \
--exporter_otlp_protocol http/protobuf \
python src/ttn2otel.py
