Introducing the new Chariot MQTT Server: Streamlined, smarter, and built for scale
The Chariot MQTT Server just got an upgrade. Designed by the inventors of MQTT and Sparkplug, Chariot has always been the MQTT broker purpose-built for operational environments. With this latest release, we’ve reimagined the user experience and introduced new tools that give you greater visibility and control over your industrial MQTT infrastructure.
Whether you’re managing Sparkplug Edge Nodes across multiple sites or monitoring client activity in real time, the new Chariot makes it easier than ever to operate at scale.
What’s new in Chariot
Improved web interface
We’ve updated the Chariot web environment for improved usability and clarity. A refreshed layout, cleaner navigation, and intuitive controls help you manage your MQTT environment more efficiently.
Integrated MQTT Client
The Chariot Client is now fully integrated into the main UI—no more jumping between tabs. Everything you need to view and interact with live MQTT message traffic is now in one place.
Advanced Sparkplug management
Chariot includes built-in tools to help you manage Sparkplug Edge Nodes with confidence:
- Manually issue rebirth requests to any Edge Node
- Track rebirth counts for visibility into client behavior
- Monitor birth/death events to detect patterns or issues
Smarter MQTT Client monitoring
New features on the MQTT Client page make it easier to track system health and identify potential misconfigurations:
- View and manage offline or persisted clients
- Remove stale client sessions manually
- Monitor MQTT message flow trends directly from the dashboard
Why it matters
As industrial systems grow more connected and complex, MQTT infrastructure must keep pace. This release of Chariot is all about giving you the tools to operate more effectively—whether you’re troubleshooting devices at the edge or scaling MQTT deployments across plants.
By streamlining the interface and surfacing the right insights, Chariot helps teams stay in control, reduce downtime, and keep data flowing where it matters most.
Get started
Chariot comes with a two-hour resettable trial so you can explore the new features hands-on. When you’re ready, a one-time license covers unlimited MQTT clients and users.
