status message from the node/clients would not show clients' IP addresses

Is there anyway to see that?

Nop, or you have to integrate it yourself on the sender side in the mqtt message.

The message should (if needed) contain enough information to know who sent it.

OR!

You could use the `channel name`.  
So you would have (for instance)

`device1/data/#`  
`device2/data/#`  
`device3/data/#`

and so on.  
(AS AN EXAMPLE)
