Metadata​

This input adds the following metadata fields to each message:

- nsq_attempts
- nsq_id
- nsq_nsqd_address
- nsq_timestamp

You can access these metadata fields using function interpolation.

Fields​

nsqd_tcp_addresses​

A list of nsqd addresses to connect to.

Type: array

lookupd_http_addresses​

A list of nsqlookupd addresses to connect to.

Type: array

tls​

Custom TLS settings can be used to override system defaults.

Type: object

tls.enabled​

Whether custom TLS settings are enabled.

Type: bool
Default: false

tls.skip_cert_verify​

tls.root_cas​

An optional root certificate authority to use. This is a string, representing a certificate chain from the parent trusted root certificate, to possible intermediate signing certificates, to the host certificate.

Secret

This field contains sensitive information that usually shouldn't be added to a config directly, read our secrets page for more info.

Type: string
Default: ""

# Examples

root_cas: |-
  -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
  ...
  -----END CERTIFICATE-----

tls.root_cas_file​

An optional path of a root certificate authority file to use. This is a file, often with a .pem extension, containing a certificate chain from the parent trusted root certificate, to possible intermediate signing certificates, to the host certificate.

Type: string
Default: ""

# Examples

root_cas_file: ./root_cas.pem

tls.client_certs​

A list of client certificates to use. For each certificate either the fields cert and key, or cert_file and key_file should be specified, but not both.

Type: array
Default: []

# Examples

client_certs:
  - cert: foo
    key: bar

client_certs:
  - cert_file: ./example.pem
    key_file: ./example.key

tls.client_certs[].cert​

A plain text certificate to use.

Type: string
Default: ""

tls.client_certs[].key​

A plain text certificate key to use.

Secret

This field contains sensitive information that usually shouldn't be added to a config directly, read our secrets page for more info.

Type: string
Default: ""

tls.client_certs[].cert_file​

The path of a certificate to use.

Type: string
Default: ""

tls.client_certs[].key_file​

The path of a certificate key to use.

Default: ""

tls.client_certs[].password​

A plain text password for when the private key is password encrypted in PKCS#1 or PKCS#8 format. The obsolete pbeWithMD5AndDES-CBC algorithm is not supported for the PKCS#8 format. Warning: Since it does not authenticate the ciphertext, it is vulnerable to padding oracle attacks that can let an attacker recover the plaintext.

Secret

This field contains sensitive information that usually shouldn't be added to a config directly, read our secrets page for more info.
