Full MQTT Broker Simulation — 34 Live Metrics Across 8 Categories, Zero Infrastructure Required

The TWAIN MQTT endpoint at https://twainmqtt.compliancetest.net delivers a fully-operational MQTT broker simulation environment purpose-built for TWAIN Innovation Cloud developers. Connect to a live virtual broker, stream real-time telemetry across 34 metrics in 8 categories — broker health, message throughput, QoS delivery performance, topic management, security posture, system resources, and billing — all over standard MQTT protocol and HTTPS, with zero infrastructure setup required.

As a registered TIC participant you receive a personal API key enabling authenticated access to the simulation endpoint. The live Metrics Heatmap Dashboard visualises all 34 metrics as a heat-scored card grid with click-through modals explaining every metric's description, use case, expected range, and MQTT standard reference. Every metric is calibrated to real-world MQTT broker benchmarks — making this the fastest way to build, test, and demonstrate MQTT integrations without standing up your own broker infrastructure.

Whether you are building an IoT device management platform, a TWAIN scanner fleet monitoring solution, a real-time document workflow event bus, a QoS compliance monitoring tool, or a billing dashboard for metered MQTT services — this endpoint gives you live, structured broker data to work with from day one.

What's Included
  • Personal API key provisioned for your TIC account, enabling authenticated access to all TWAIN MQTT simulation endpoints and MQTT topic subscriptions.
  • 34 live broker metrics across 8 sections — Broker, MQTT Throughput, Topics, QoS Delivery, Security, System Resources, Billing, and Exceptions — all from a live simulation server.
  • Interactive Metrics Heatmap Dashboard with heat-scored cards, click-through modals showing every metric's description, use case, expected range, and MQTT specification reference.
  • Real-time MQTT topic subscriptions — subscribe to mqtt/metrics and mqtt/alerts for live push-based metric delivery without polling.
  • QoS delivery metrics covering QoS 0 (at-most-once), QoS 1 (at-least-once), and QoS 2 (exactly-once) delivery rates, retry rates, and duplicate counts — critical for TWAIN scanner job delivery reliability testing.
  • Security posture metrics — auth failure counts, rejected connection rates, TLS status, and malformed packet detection with DIAG classification — covering requirements for industrial IoT security frameworks.
  • Billing visibility with live tier, usage count, and estimated cost metrics — ready to integrate directly into a billing dashboard or cost allocation reporting tool.
  • System resource metrics — CPU load, memory usage, disk I/O, and network throughput from the simulation broker server, enabling capacity planning and infrastructure sizing for production deployments.
  • Developer support from the TIC technical team for MQTT integration questions, schema documentation, QoS configuration guidance, and custom metric requirements during your innovation project.
