To enable the Topic Tree REST API, make sure you are using the Pro Edition of Mosquitto and that you have the feature enabled in your license. Also, ensure that your config file (specified with CEDALO_MC_PROXY_CONFIG environmental variable or by default saved in management-center/config/config.json) contains the following entry inside of the plugins array:
{
"name": "system-status-rest-api"
}
On start-up, the Management Center will print a message that the system-status-rest-api plugin is enabled and loaded into the console:

Without enabling the Topic Tree REST API, you won't be able to clear the topic tree using the button in the Web UI.
