# NSQ Output Plugin

This plugin writes to a specified NSQD instance, usually local to the
producer. It requires a `server` name and a `topic` name.

## Configuration

```toml @sample.conf
# Send telegraf measurements to NSQD
[[outputs.nsq]]
  ## Location of nsqd instance listening on TCP
  server = "localhost:4150"
  ## NSQ topic for producer messages
  topic = "telegraf"

  ## 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"
```
