Simple Beats MQTT output

Simple output following these tips: https://discuss.elastic.co/t/how-to-create-a-new-beats-output/61074

I've made this to send events directly to RabbitMQ, with MQTT plugin activated. It's not tested enough, but it solves my problem. Hope it can help someone else.

How to use

On your custom beat:

main.go

package main

import (
        "os"

        _ "github.com/sidleal/mqttout"

        "github.com/sidleal/countbeat/cmd"
)

func main() {
        if err := cmd.RootCmd.Execute(); err != nil {
                os.Exit(1)
        }
}

Config (yourbeat.yml):

#================================ Outputs =====================================

# Configure what output to use when sending the data collected by the beat.

#------------------------------ MQTT output -----------------------------------
output.mqtt:
  host: "127.0.0.1"
  port: 1883
  topic: "mytopic"
  user: "myvhost:myuser"
  password: "mypassword"

And don't forget to bind amq.topic exchange to your desired queue, putting your topic in Routing Key.
