If you receive this alert, it means that the number of failed v3/v5 `SUBSCRIBE` operations has increased in the last minute. + +### What do v3 and v5 SUBSCRIBE operations mean? + +MQTT v3 and v5 are different versions of the MQTT protocol, used for the Internet of Things (IoT) devices and their communication. The `SUBSCRIBE` operation allows a client (device) to subscribe to a specific topic and receive messages published under that topic. + +### Troubleshoot the alert + +- Check the VerneMQ logs + +1. Identify the location of the VerneMQ logs. The default location is `/var/log/vernemq`.
