# NATS Consumer Input Plugin
|
|
|
|
The [NATS][nats] consumer plugin reads from the specified NATS subjects and
|
|
creates metrics using one of the supported [input data formats][].
|
|
|
|
A [Queue Group][queue group] is used when subscribing to subjects so multiple
|
|
instances of telegraf can read from a NATS cluster in parallel.
|
|
|
|
### Configuration:
|
|
|
|
```toml
|
|
[[inputs.nats_consumer]]
|
|
## urls of NATS servers
|
|
servers = ["nats://localhost:4222"]
|
|
## Use Transport Layer Security
|
|
secure = false
|
|
## subject(s) to consume
|
|
subjects = ["telegraf"]
|
|
## name a queue group
|
|
queue_group = "telegraf_consumers"
|
|
|
|
## Sets the limits for pending msgs and bytes for each subscription
|
|
## These shouldn't need to be adjusted except in very high throughput scenarios
|
|
# pending_message_limit = 65536
|
|
# pending_bytes_limit = 67108864
|
|
|
|
## Maximum messages to read from the broker that have not been written by an
|
|
## output. For best throughput set based on the number of metrics within
|
|
## each message and the size of the output's metric_batch_size.
|
|
##
|
|
## For example, if each message from the queue contains 10 metrics and the
|
|
## output metric_batch_size is 1000, setting this to 100 will ensure that a
|
|
## full batch is collected and the write is triggered immediately without
|
|
## waiting until the next flush_interval.
|
|
# max_undelivered_messages = 1000
|
|
|
|
## Data format to consume.
|
|
## Each data format has its own unique set of configuration options, read
|
|
## more about them here:

|
|
data_format = "influx"
