NSQ¶

Go to the `conf.d/nsq` directory under the DataKit installation directory, copy `nsq.conf.sample` and name it `nsq.conf`. Examples are as follows:

```toml

[[inputs.nsq]]
  ## NSQ Lookupd HTTP API endpoint
  lookupd = "http://localhost:4161"

  ## NSQD HTTP API endpoint
  ## example:
  ##   ["http://localhost:4151"]
  nsqd = []

  ## time units are "ms", "s", "m", "h"
  interval = "10s"

  ## Set true to enable election
  election = true

  ## 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

  [inputs.nsq.tags]
  # some_tag = "some_value"
  # more_tag = "some_other_value"

```

The NSQ collector is available in two configurations, `lookupd` and `nsqd`, as follows:

- `lookupd`: Configure the `lookupd` address of the NSQ cluster, and the collector will automatically discover the NSQ Server and collect data, which is more scalable.
- `nsqd`: Configure a fixed list of NSQ Daemon (`nsqd`) addresses for which the collector collects only NSQ Server data

The above two configuration methods are mutually exclusive, and `lookupd` has higher priority, so it is recommended to use `lookupd` configuration method.

Once configured, [restart DataKit](../datakit/datakit-service-how-to.md#manage-service).
