# ActiveMQ Input Plugin

This plugin gathers queue, topics and subscribers metrics using the Console API [ActiveMQ](https://activemq.apache.org/) message broker daemon.

**Introduced in:** Telegraf v1.8.0 **Tags:** messaging **OS support:** all

## Global configuration options

Plugins support additional global and plugin configuration settings for tasks such as modifying metrics, tags, and fields, creating aliases, and configuring plugin ordering. See [CONFIGURATION.md](/telegraf/v1/configuration/#plugins) for more details.

## Configuration

```toml
# Gather ActiveMQ metrics
[[inputs.activemq]]
  ## ActiveMQ WebConsole URL
  url = "http://127.0.0.1:8161"

  ## Credentials for basic HTTP authentication
  # username = "admin"
  # password = "admin"

  ## Required ActiveMQ webadmin root path
  # webadmin = "admin"

  ## Maximum time to receive response.
  # response_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
```

## Metrics

Every effort was made to preserve the names based on the XML response from the ActiveMQ Console API.
