The NSQ consumer plugin reads from NSQD and creates metrics using one of the supported input data formats.
# Read metrics from NSQD topic(s)
[[inputs.nsq_consumer]]
## Server option still works but is deprecated, we just prepend it to the nsqd array.
# server = "localhost:4150"
## An array representing the NSQD TCP HTTP Endpoints
nsqd = ["localhost:4150"]
## An array representing the NSQLookupd HTTP Endpoints
nsqlookupd = ["localhost:4161"]
topic = "telegraf"
channel = "consumer"
max_in_flight = 100
## 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:
