This is a quickly whipped together stripped down example. It may be missing
some things, but gives you an idea of how to include fields with limited
config.
[MQTTPublish]
# The MQTT server.
# Default is localhost.
host = localhost
# username for broker authentication.
# Default is None.
username = None
# password for broker authentication.
# Default is None.
password = None
# The TLS options that are passed to tls_set method of the MQTT client.
# For additional information see,
https://eclipse.org/paho/clients/python/docs/strptime-format-codes
[[tls]]
# Turn tls on and off.
# Default is true.
enable = false
[[topics]]
[[[REPLACE_ME]]]
# True if the field should not be published.
# Valid values: True, False.
# Default is False
ignore = true
[[[[fields]]]]
[[[[[REPLACE_ME -1]]]]]
[[[[[REPLACE_ME -2]]]]]
