You may have already found this, but the MQTT datasource plugin that you are using is fairly limited (and somewhat buggy). From the Github page describing the known limitations, you can see that:

  • Including multiple topics in a panel is not yet well supported.
  • This plugin automatically supports topics publishing very simple JSON formatted messages. Note that only the following structure is supported as of now:
{
    "value1": 1.0,
    "value2": 2,
    "value3": 3.33,
    ...
}

Is your JSON data structured like the above? If not, can you manipulate it before it reaches your MQTT broker? I know this can be easily done in Node-RED.
