   This plugin takes the dashboard status and/or player journal updates from Elite: Dangerous as ingested by EDMC and distributes them via the [MQTT connectivity protocol](http://mqtt.org/).  The plugin is highly configurable, allowing individual status items to be enabled/disabled, as well as fully customizable MQTT topics.

 ## Prerequisites
 
   In order to use this plugin, a correctly installed and configured MQTT broker is required.  I personally use - and develop EDMC-Telemetry using - the [Eclipse Mosquitto™](https://mosquitto.org/) broker installed on a [Raspberry Pi](http://raspberrypi.org).
