[Feature] Topics as a tree
Motivation
The view of the messages on the subscribed topics is not readable
Detailed design
I'd like to have a tree view of the topics. The roots are the subscribed topics, the sub nodes are the direct sub topics, and so on. The displayed messages are filtered by the selected node in the tree so I can see only the messages from the branch I'm interested in
Alternatives
I don't see any
More detail (optional)
A plus would be a configurable summary of each nodes after the name of the sub topic (total messages since connection, count of subtopics, ...) Also making possible for the tree path to be higlight when a message comes would be great to identify the active branches of the server In that case it would be also nice to click on a node to set the topic in the "send message" area
Hi. Thank you for your feedback.
You are having difficulty viewing messages on subscribed topics and would like a tree view. We understand that this would make it easier for you to filter messages based on the branch you are interested in. The mqtt-explorer has already supported the Topic tree. And this feature request will be planned for the next MQTT X release plan.
We will consider your suggestion of clicking on a node to set the topic in the "send message" area and evaluate its feasibility. Thank you again for your feedback, and we will do our best to improve the user experience in future updates.
How can I get the Topic tree?
In case we are not in the same page, here is an exemple of implementation I have in mind:
This is the only thing stopping me switching from https://mqtt-explorer.com/
@hailwood This will be added in the upcoming graphical feature, although it may not be exactly the same, we just hope that users can get better debugging results and experience. Thank you very much for your feedback.
What is the status of this? It was moved from milestone to milestone for a while now.
