I want to remove the leading slash; I have read that it is not a good practice to have it, but I am dealing with a legacy system, so I am trying to find a workaround.
local topic: /test/sensor/+
remote topic: test/sensor
config entry:
topic test/sensor/+ out "/" ""
When I try it, Mosquitto starts without errors, however it does not send the data to the remote broker. I tested this with tcpdump, which shows me outgoing traffic towards the remote host.
However, for the config entry `topic /test/sensor/+ out "/" ""` something is sent to the remote broker, but it retains the leading slash, here is the raw data from the sniffer, to illustrate my point:
