[[inputs.nsq_consumer]]
  ## An array of NSQD HTTP API endpoints
  server = "localhost:4150"
  topic = "telegraf"
  channel = "consumer"
  max_in_flight = 100

  ## Data format to consume.
  ## Each data format has its own unique set of configuration options, read
  ## more about them here:
  ## https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/blob/master/docs/DATA_FORMATS_INPUT.md
  data_format = "influx"

Testing

The nsq_consumer_test mocks out the interaction with NSQD. It requires no outside dependencies.
