MQTT Explorer
MQTT Explorer is an MQTT client for you if you’re integrating IoT devices or services and need to inspect, test, and clean up activity on your broker.
by Thomas Nordquist
What you get
You can see what your MQTT devices are sending and troubleshoot their messages.
You get a hierarchical view of your MQTT broker’s topics, so you can understand how messages are organized and see where activity is happening. When you’re connecting a new device or service, you can search and filter topics to focus on the messages that matter rather than browse the whole tree.
You can follow each topic’s history and plot numeric values to see how readings change over time. To check how your setup responds, you can publish messages yourself. When you need to clean up the broker, you can delete retained topics or remove a topic and its descendants recursively.
