# 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:
 | 
						|
  ## https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/blob/master/docs/DATA_FORMATS_INPUT.md
 | 
						|
  data_format = "influx"
