Google Cloud PubSub Output Plugin

The GCP PubSub plugin publishes metrics to a Google Cloud PubSub topic as one of the supported output data formats.

Configuration

This section contains the default TOML to configure the plugin. You can generate it using telegraf --usage cloud_pubsub.

  ## Required. Name of PubSub topic to publish metrics to.

  data_format = "influx"

  ## Optional. Filepath for GCP credentials JSON file to authorize calls to

  ## Optional. If true, will send all metrics per write in one PubSub message.
  # send_batched = true

  ## when it has this many PubSub messages. If send_batched is true,
  ## this is ignored and treated as if it were 1.
  # publish_count_threshold = 1000

  ## Optional. Send a request to PubSub (i.e. actually publish a batch)
