# NATS Consumer Input Plugin
2016-02-10 23:28:52 +00:00
2016-02-09 22:03:46 +00:00
The [NATS](http://www.nats.io/about/) consumer plugin reads from
2016-02-10 23:28:52 +00:00
specified NATS subjects and adds messages to InfluxDB. The plugin expects messages
2016-02-18 20:37:36 +00:00
in the [Telegraf Input Data Formats](https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/blob/master/docs/DATA_FORMATS_INPUT.md).
2016-02-10 23:28:52 +00:00
A [Queue Group](http://www.nats.io/documentation/concepts/nats-queueing/)
is used when subscribing to subjects so multiple instances of telegraf can read
from a NATS cluster in parallel.
## Configuration
