This plugin writes to a AMQP 0-9-1 Exchange, a promenent implementation of this protocol being RabbitMQ.
Metrics are written to a topic exchange using tag, defined in configuration file as RoutingTag, as a routing key.
If RoutingTag is empty, then empty routing key will be used. Metrics are grouped in batches by RoutingTag.
This plugin doesn't bind exchange to a queue, so it should be done by consumer.
For an introduction to AMQP see:
# Configuration for the AMQP server to send metrics to
[[outputs.amqp]]
## AMQP url
url = "amqp://localhost:5672/influxdb"
## AMQP exchange
exchange = "telegraf"
## 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"
## Telegraf tag to use as a routing key
## ie, if this tag exists, its value will be used as the routing key
routing_tag = "host"
## InfluxDB retention policy
# retention_policy = "default"
## InfluxDB database
# database = "telegraf"
## Write timeout, formatted as a string. If not provided, will default
## to 5s. 0s means no timeout (not recommended).
# timeout = "5s"
## Optional SSL Config
# ssl_ca = "/etc/telegraf/ca.pem"
# ssl_cert = "/etc/telegraf/cert.pem"
# ssl_key = "/etc/telegraf/key.pem"
## Use SSL but skip chain & host verification
# insecure_skip_verify = false
## 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"
