# AMQP Consumer Input Plugin
This plugin provides a consumer for use with AMQP 0-9-1, a promenent implementation of this protocol being [RabbitMQ](https://www.rabbitmq.com/).
Metrics are read from a topic exchange using the configured queue and binding_key.
Message payload should be formatted in one of the [Telegraf Data Formats](https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/blob/master/docs/DATA_FORMATS_INPUT.md).
For an introduction to AMQP see:
- https://www.rabbitmq.com/tutorials/amqp-concepts.html
- https://www.rabbitmq.com/getstarted.html
The following defaults are known to work with RabbitMQ:
```toml
# AMQP consumer plugin
[[inputs.amqp_consumer]]
## AMQP url
url = "amqp://localhost:5672/influxdb"
## AMQP exchange
exchange = "telegraf"
## AMQP queue name
queue = "telegraf"
## Binding Key
binding_key = "#"
## Controls how many messages the server will try to keep on the network
## for consumers before receiving delivery acks.
#prefetch_count = 50
## Auth method. PLAIN and EXTERNAL are supported.
## Using EXTERNAL requires enabling the rabbitmq_auth_mechanism_ssl plugin as
## described here: https://www.rabbitmq.com/plugins.html
# auth_method = "PLAIN"
## Optional SSL Config
# ssl_ca = "/etc/telegraf/ca.pem"
# ssl_cert = "/etc/telegraf/cert.pem"
# ssl_key = "/etc/telegraf/key.pem"
## Use SSL but skip chain & host verification
# insecure_skip_verify = false
## Data format to output.
