The metadata fields from each message are delivered as headers.

TLS is automatically enabled when connecting to an amqps URL. However, you can customize TLS settings if required.

You can use function interpolations to dynamically set values for the following fields: key, exchange, and type.

Fields

app_id

Set an application ID for each message using a dynamic interpolated expression. This field supports interpolation functions.

Type: string

Default: ""

content_encoding

The content encoding attribute of each message. This field supports interpolation functions.

Type: string

Default: ""

content_type

The MIME type of each message. This field supports interpolation functions.

Type: string

Default: application/octet-stream

correlation_id

Set a unique correlation ID for each message using a dynamic interpolated expression to help match messages to responses. This field supports interpolation functions.

Type: string

Default: ""

exchange

The AMQP exchange to publish messages to. This field supports interpolation functions.

Type: string

exchange_declare

Passively declares the target exchange to check whether an exchange with the specified name exists and is configured correctly. If the exchange exists, then the passive declaration verifies that fields specified in this object match its properties. If the target exchange does not exist, this output creates it.

Type: object

exchange_declare.arguments

Arguments for server-specific implementations of the exchange (optional). You can use arguments to configure additional parameters for exchange types that require them.

Type: string

# Examples:
arguments:
  alternate-exchange: my-ae

exchange_declare.durable

Whether the declared exchange is durable.

Type: bool

Default: true

exchange_declare.enabled

Whether to enable exchange declaration.

Type: bool

Default: false

exchange_declare.type

The type of the exchange, which determines how messages are routed to queues.

Dots (.) in message keys are only enforced in routing keys and message types for topic exchanges.

Type: string

Default: direct

Options: direct, fanout, topic, headers, x-custom

expiration

Set the TTL of each message in milliseconds. This field supports interpolation functions.

Type: string

Default: ""

immediate

Whether to set the immediate flag on published messages. When set to true, if there are no active consumers for a queue, the message is dropped instead of waiting.

Type: bool

Default: false

key

The binding key to set for each message. This field supports interpolation functions.

Type: string

Default: ""

mandatory

Whether to set the mandatory flag on published messages. When set to true, a published message that cannot be routed to any queues is returned to the sender.

Type: bool

Default: false

max_in_flight

The maximum number of messages to have in flight at a given time. Increase this number to improve throughput.

Type: int

Default: 64

message_id

Set a message ID for each message using a dynamic interpolated expression. This field supports interpolation functions.

Type: string

Default: ""

metadata

Specify which (if any) metadata values are added to messages as headers.

Type: object

metadata.exclude_prefixes[]

Provide a list of explicit metadata key prefixes to exclude when adding metadata to sent messages.

Type: array

Default: []

persistent

Whether to store delivered messages on disk. By default, message delivery is transient.

Type: bool

Default: false

priority

Set the priority of each message using a dynamic interpolated expression. This field supports interpolation functions.

Type: string

Default: ""

# Examples:
priority: 0
priority: ${! meta("amqp_priority") }
priority: ${! json("doc.priority") }

reply_to

Set the name of the queue to which responses are sent using a dynamic interpolated expression. This field supports interpolation functions.

Type: string

Default: ""

timeout

The maximum period to wait for a message acknowledgment before abandoning it and attempting a resend. If this value is not set, the system waits indefinitely.

Type: string

Default: ""

tls

Override system defaults with custom TLS settings.

Type: object

tls.client_certs[]

A list of client certificates to use. For each certificate, specify values for either the cert and key fields, or the cert_file and key_file fields.

Type: object

Default: []

# Examples:
client_certs:
  - cert: foo
    key: bar

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

tls.client_certs[].cert

A plain text certificate to use.

Type: string

Default: ""

tls.client_certs[].cert_file

The path of a certificate to use.

Type: string

Default: ""

tls.client_certs[].key

A plain text certificate key to use.

This field contains sensitive information that usually shouldn’t be added to a configuration directly. For more information, see Secrets.

Type: string

Default: ""

tls.client_certs[].key_file

The path of a certificate key to use.

Type: string

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.

Because the obsolete pbeWithMD5AndDES-CBC algorithm does not authenticate the ciphertext, it is vulnerable to padding oracle attacks that can let an attacker recover the plaintext.

This field contains sensitive information that usually shouldn’t be added to a configuration directly. For more information, see Secrets.

Type: string

Default: ""

# Examples:
password: foo
password: ${KEY_PASSWORD}

tls.enable_renegotiation

Whether to allow the remote server to repeatedly request renegotiation. Enable this option if you’re seeing the error message local error: tls: no renegotiation.

Requires version 3.45.0 or later.

Type: bool

Default: false

tls.enabled

Whether custom TLS settings are enabled.

Type: bool

Default: false

tls.root_cas

Specify a certificate authority to use (optional). This is a string that represents a certificate chain from the parent-trusted root certificate, through possible intermediate signing certificates, to the host certificate.

This field contains sensitive information that usually shouldn’t be added to a configuration directly. For more information, see Secrets.

Type: string

Default: ""

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

tls.root_cas_file

Specify the path to a root certificate authority file (optional). This is a file, often with a .pem extension, that contains a certificate chain from the parent-trusted root certificate, through possible intermediate signing certificates, to the host certificate.

Type: string

Default: ""

# Examples:
root_cas_file: ./root_cas.pem

tls.skip_cert_verify

Whether to skip server-side certificate verification.

Type: bool

Default: false

type

A custom message type to set for each message. This field supports interpolation functions.

Type: string

Default: ""

urls[]

A list of URLs to connect to. This input attempts to connect to each URL in the list, in order, until a successful connection is established. It then continues to use that URL until the connection is closed.

If an item in the list contains commas, it is split into multiple URLs.

Requires version 3.58.0 or later.

Type: array

# Examples:
urls:
  - "amqp://guest:guest@127.0.0.1:5672/"

  - "amqp://127.0.0.1:5672/,amqp://127.0.0.2:5672/"

  - "amqp://127.0.0.1:5672/"
  - "amqp://127.0.0.2:5672/"

user_id

Set the user ID to the name of the publisher. If this property is set by a publisher, its value must match the name of the user that opened the connection. This field supports interpolation functions.

Type: string

Default: ""
