This plugin writes to a AMQP 0-9-1 Exchange, a promenent implementation of this protocol being RabbitMQ.
This plugin does not bind the exchange to a queue.
For an introduction to AMQP see:
# Publishes metrics to an AMQP broker
[[outputs.amqp]]
## Broker to publish to.
## deprecated in 1.7; use the brokers option
# url = "amqp://localhost:5672/influxdb"
## Brokers to publish to. If multiple brokers are specified a random broker
## will be selected anytime a connection is established. This can be
## helpful for load balancing when not using a dedicated load balancer.
brokers = ["amqp://localhost:5672/influxdb"]
## Maximum messages to send over a connection. Once this is reached, the
## connection is closed and a new connection is made. This can be helpful for
## load balancing when not using a dedicated load balancer.
# max_messages = 0
## Exchange to declare and publish to.
exchange = "telegraf"
## Exchange type; common types are "direct", "fanout", "topic", "header", "x-consistent-hash".
# exchange_type = "topic"
## If true, exchange will be passively declared.
# exchange_passive = false
## Exchange durability can be either "transient" or "durable".
# exchange_durability = "durable"
## Additional exchange arguments.
# exchange_arguments = { }
# exchange_arguments = {"hash_propery" = "timestamp"}
## Authentication credentials for the PLAIN auth_method.
# username = ""
# password = ""
## Auth method. PLAIN and EXTERNAL are supported
## Using EXTERNAL requires enabling the rabbitmq_auth_mechanism_ssl plugin as
## described here: https://www.rabbitmq.com/plugins.html
# auth_method = "PLAIN"
## Metric tag to use as a routing key.
## ie, if this tag exists, its value will be used as the routing key
# routing_tag = "host"
## Static routing key. Used when no routing_tag is set or as a fallback
## when the tag specified in routing tag is not found.
# routing_key = ""
# routing_key = "telegraf"
## Delivery Mode controls if a published message is persistent.
## One of "transient" or "persistent".
# delivery_mode = "transient"
## InfluxDB database added as a message header.
## deprecated in 1.7; use the headers option
# database = "telegraf"
## InfluxDB retention policy added as a message header
## deprecated in 1.7; use the headers option
# retention_policy = "default"
## Static headers added to each published message.
# headers = { }
# headers = {"database" = "telegraf", "retention_policy" = "default"}
## Connection timeout. If not provided, will default to 5s. 0s means no
## timeout (not recommended).
# timeout = "5s"
## Optional TLS Config
# tls_ca = "/etc/telegraf/ca.pem"
# tls_cert = "/etc/telegraf/cert.pem"
# tls_key = "/etc/telegraf/key.pem"
## Use TLS but skip chain & host verification
# insecure_skip_verify = false
## If true use batch serialization format instead of line based delimiting.
## Only applies to data formats which are not line based such as JSON.
## Recommended to set to true.
# use_batch_format = false
## Content encoding for message payloads, can be set to "gzip" to or
## "identity" to apply no encoding.
##
## Please note that when use_batch_format = false each amqp message contains only
## a single metric, it is recommended to use compression with batch format
## for best results.
# content_encoding = "identity"
## Data format to output.
## 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_OUTPUT.md
# data_format = "influx"If routing_tag is set, and the tag is defined on the metric, the value of
the tag is used as the routing key. Otherwise the value of routing_key is
used directly. If both are unset the empty string is used.
Exchange types that do not use a routing key, direct and header, always
use the empty string as the routing key.
Metrics are published in batches based on the final routing key.
