Weird HIVE MQTT happenings. (possible crying WOLF) But important to read!

Folks, this has started recently I believe and only today I've actually caught the problem.

I use HIVE MQTT for a project that now can't be used anyway. :frowning:
In saying that, I will raise my hand and say it was an unencrypted one, so I probably deserve what was being attempted.

NOTE: NOTHING DID - AFAIK.
(And previous ones may not have been related.)

All my machines have a routine that detects flow errors and sends a message (via LOCAL MQTT) and it has been going off a bit recently.

Today, I couldn't reset the alarm/notification.

So I went looking.
Failed to parse JSON string
is/was the ONLY message being displayed in the debug column.

You can see (above)) not much else.
Don't worry too much about the nodes seen here and/or the subflow.

So when I went to the node this is what I see:

What concerns me is the debug is supposed to show the entire message. Yet: Nothing.

Ok, opening the MQTT node may be a reason why.

So it may help me to change that bit.

And in doing so I am seeing:

{"topic":"blah","payload":"Hello CME466","qos":0,"retain":false,"_msgid":"8db7b59752c5a33b"}

This may be me crying WOLF but an important lesson I'm sharing.

if you use third party MQTT:
PLEASE!
Use a key!
As if you don't:
You are susceptible to foreign (unwanted) traffic.

And that could cause errors and all sorts of problems with your flows.

Now, my question:
I am at/on the hivemqtt website, but can't remember how to delete my channels.

Help - please.

Have you read the Hive mqtt documentation before asking...
https://docs.hivemq.com/hivemq/4.5/control-center/administration.html

ITMT, I've found my login details for HIVE and their system.
Seems I can't get in. :frowning:
I'm working on it now. But the annoying thing is that my WRITTEN details are a USER NAME and password. NOT an email address.

Yet, when I enter that user name and password: Not getting in.

I thought you had to use an email address to login to hivemq.

Do you have any old emails with the subject "Welcome to HiveMQ Cloud - please verify your email"?

Yeah, well I wrote down a user name and password. (Also saved in the browser)
Entering them.... not working.
Try and put email address (I get stuff from the now and then, so I know that's the one to use) and the password.... not working.

I found their email address and sent them a question about what's going on.
But they are 8 hours behind me, so a reply today (for me) is not expected.

If I use the I forgot my password and enter my email address, I am told a link has been emailed to me, but I do not receive it.

(oops)

If I try to log in with the option offered via gmail and go through that, I am kind of presented with a new account set up.

So that isn't right either.
