==========

* Telegraf v1.8.0+

[Plugin source](https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/tree/v1.39.1/plugins/inputs/activemq/)[Download configuration](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/influxdata/telegraf/refs/tags/v1.39.1/plugins/inputs/activemq/sample.conf)

# 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.
