# Ingest Data into RPC

TIP

After EMQX version 3.1, a powerful rule engine is introduced to replace plug-ins. It is recommended that you use it. See Bridge data to EMQX to setup EMQX bridges in rule engine.

EMQX bridges and forwards MQTT messages to remote EMQX:

Config file for RPC bridge plugin: etc/plugins/emqx_bridge_mqtt.conf

# Configure Broker Address for RPC Bridge

bridge.mqtt.emqx.address = emqx2@192.168.1.2
 
    Copied!

# Configure Topics RPC Bridge Forwards and Subscribes

## Mountpoint of the bridge
bridge.mqtt.emqx.mountpoint = bridge/emqx1/${node}/

## Forward message topics
bridge.mqtt.emqx.forwards = topic1/#,topic2/#
 
    Copied!

Mountpoint: Mountpoint is used to prefix of topic when forwarding a message, this option must be used with forwards. Forwards the message whose topic is "sensor1/hello", its topic will change to "<bridge/aws/emqx1@192.168.1.1/sensor1/hello>" when it reaches the remote node.

Forwards: Messages forwarded to forwards specified by local EMQX are forwarded to the remote EMQX.

# Bridge CLI Command

CLI of RPC bridge is used in the same way as the MQTT bridge.
