How do I specify a host for mqtt nodes in node-red?

I am keen on knowing how can I specify a host in node-red mqtt in node, let's say that my command line would be like this

mosquitto_sub -h <Region>.thethings.network -t '+/devices/+/events/activations' -u '<AppID>' -P '<AppKey>' -v

How can I set the host part -h <Region>.thethings.network in the mosquitto node that node-red provides?

So far I have using this nomemclature <AppID>/devices/+/up as topic, but now I don't know where to add the host part.

Thanks in advance,

Kind regards!

The MQTT in and out nodes share a set of config nodes that contain the information about connecting to the broker.

If you click on the pencil icon at the end of the Server property in the editor

enter image description here

This will open a new config section that you can enter all the broker details.

Because these are shared you only need to add the details once, then you can just select them from the Server drop down list in the original node config.
