NATS Consumer Input Plugin
The NATS consumer plugin reads from specified NATS subjects and adds messages to InfluxDB. The plugin expects messages in the Telegraf Input Data Formats. A Queue Group is used when subscribing to subjects so multiple instances of telegraf can read from a NATS cluster in parallel.
Configuration
# Read metrics from NATS subject(s)
[[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"
### Maximum number of metrics to buffer between collection intervals
metric_buffer = 100000
### Data format to consume. This can be "json", "influx" or "graphite"
### Each data format has it's own unique set of configuration options, read
