# NSQ Consumer Input Plugin
This service plugin consumes messages from [NSQ][nsq] realtime distributed
messaging platform brokers in one of the supported [data formats][data_formats].
⭐ Telegraf v0.10.1
🏷️ messaging
💻 all
[nsq]: https://nsq.io/
[data_formats]: /docs/DATA_FORMATS_INPUT.md
## Service Input <!-- @/docs/includes/service_input.md -->
This plugin is a service input. Normal plugins gather metrics determined by the
interval setting. Service plugins start a service to listen and wait for
metrics or events to occur. Service plugins have two key differences from
normal plugins:
1. The global or plugin specific `interval` setting may not apply
2. The CLI options of `--test`, `--test-wait`, and `--once` may not produce
output for this plugin
## Global configuration options <!-- @/docs/includes/plugin_config.md -->
In addition to the plugin-specific configuration settings, plugins support
additional global and plugin configuration settings. These settings are used to
modify metrics, tags, and field or create aliases and configure ordering, etc.
See the [CONFIGURATION.md][CONFIGURATION.md] for more details.
[CONFIGURATION.md]: ../../../docs/CONFIGURATION.md#plugins
## Configuration
```toml @sample.conf
# Read metrics from NSQD topic(s)
[[inputs.nsq_consumer]]
## 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
## Max undelivered messages
## This plugin uses tracking metrics, which ensure messages are read to
## outputs before acknowledging them to the original broker to ensure data
## is not lost. This option sets the maximum messages to read from the
## broker that have not been written by an output.
##
## This value needs to be picked with awareness of the agent's
## metric_batch_size value as well. Setting max undelivered messages too high
## can result in a constant stream of data batches to the output. While
## setting it too low may never flush the broker's messages.
# max_undelivered_messages = 1000
## Data format to consume.
## 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_INPUT.md
data_format = "influx"
```
## Metrics
The plugin accepts arbitrary input and parses it according to the `data_format`
setting. There is no predefined metric format.
## Example Output
There is no predefined metric format, so output depends on plugin input.
