# AMQP Output Plugin
This plugin writes to an Advanced Message Queuing Protocol v0.9.1 broker.
A prominent implementation of this protocol is [RabbitMQ](https://www.rabbitmq.com).
> [!NOTE]
> This plugin does not bind the AMQP exchange to a queue.
For an introduction check the [AMQP concepts page](https://www.rabbitmq.com/tutorials/amqp-concepts.html) and the
[RabbitMQ getting started guide](https://www.rabbitmq.com/getstarted.html).
**Introduced in:** Telegraf v0.1.9
**Tags:** messaging
**OS support:** all

## 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](/telegraf/v1/configuration/#plugins) for more details.
[CONFIGURATION.md]: ../../../docs/CONFIGURATION.md#plugins
## Secret-store support
This plugin supports secrets from secret-stores for the `username` and
`password` option.
See the [secret-store documentation](/telegraf/v1/configuration/#secret-store-secrets) for more details on how
to use them.
[SECRETSTORE]: ../../../docs/CONFIGURATION.md#secret-store-secrets
## Configuration
```toml @sample.conf
# Publishes metrics to an AMQP broker
[[outputs.amqp]]
## 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_property" = "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"
## 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
## Optional Proxy Configuration
# use_proxy = false
# proxy_url = "localhost:8888"
## 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"
```
### Routing
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.
### Proxy
If you want to use a proxy, you need to set `use_proxy = true`. This will
use the system's proxy settings to determine the proxy URL. If you need to
specify a proxy URL manually, you can do so by using `proxy_url`, overriding
the system settings.
