MQTT Issue while running Thingsboard IOT gateway

Question

I am trying to connect to thingsboard server using thingsboard IoT gateway. I have followed all steps given in the below link : https://thingsboard.io/docs/iot-gateway/install/source-installation/

When running tb-gateway with command : python3 ./thingsboard_gateway/tb_gateway.py I am getting below error message :

 INFO - [mqtt_connector.py] - mqtt_connector - 157 - Number of rejected mapping handlers: 0"

    self._client.connect(self.__host, self.__port, keepalive=keepalive)

I have done below changes in the respective files :

mqtt.json :

  "broker": {
    "name":"Default Local Broker",
    "host":"IP Address",
    "port":1883,
    "clientId": "ThingsBoard_gateway",
    "security": {
      "type": "basic",
      "username": "**********",
      "password": "***********"
    }
  }

tb_gateway.yaml :

  host: "IP Address"
  port: 1883
  remoteShell: false
  remoteConfiguration: false
  security:
    accessToken: ********************
  qos: 1
storage:
  type: memory
  read_records_count: 100
  max_records_count: 100000
connectors:

    type: mqtt
    configuration: mqtt.json

Appreciate your help. Thanks in advance.

Do you have any server ? I gonna explain my method. for example I have a TCP server. But I can not directly connect with my TCP server as a client to thingsboard. But everyone can connect to thingsboard as a mqtt client. Just one role, you need to know your device access token in thingsboard. if you know access token you can connect to thingsboard as a client by using mqtt://demo.thingsboard.io, { username: "ACCESS_TOKEN" } url and v1/devices/me/telemetry topic. example js code that running with node.js. var client = mqtt.connect('mqtt://demo.thingsboard.io' + { username: "AccessToken" }); and to publish client.publish('v1/devices/me/telemetry', JSON.stringify(data));
