I'm setting up my own broker I want ignition to forward MQTT to.

In this other post someone says: "As stated previously, MQTT, PubNub, TCP/UDP streams, web sockets, all are possible with Ignition"

Can someone confirm if it supports sending MQTT _over_ websockets?

Assuming you are referring to the Cirrus Link modules here:

Referring to the [documentation,](https://docs.chariot.io/display/CLD83/ME%3A+Configuration) I don't think the CirrusLink MQTT Engine can connect to MQTT brokers over websockets.
