Is it Possible to customise the mqtt endpoint?

Hi everyone, I'm looking at making my own web app to capture data and manage the VRM. I see that the controller sends data to Victron via the mqtt protocol, is it possible to change the endpoint it sends to be my own, which will be running in a cloud provider, perhaps by editing a config file?

You can teach the Mosquitto server that's running on your system to bridge messages to the cloud provider.

See the mosquitto documentation https://mosquitto.org/man/mosquitto-conf-5.html for details; also I found http://www.steves-internet-guide.com/mosquitto-bridge-configuration/ to be very helpful.
