<!-- Source: https://docs.redpanda.com/connect/components/inputs/amqp_1.md -->

**Type:** Input ▼

[Input](https://docs.redpanda.com/connect/components/inputs/amqp_1/)[Output](https://docs.redpanda.com/connect/components/outputs/amqp_1/)

**Available in:** Self-Managed

Reads messages from an AMQP (1.0) server.

#### Common

```yml
inputs:
  label: ""
  amqp_1:
    urls: [] # No default (optional)
    source_address: "" # No default (required)
```

#### Advanced

```yml
inputs:
  label: ""
  amqp_1:
    urls: [] # No default (optional)
    source_address: "" # No default (required)
    azure_renew_lock: false
    read_header: false
    credit: 64
    tls:
      enabled: false
      skip_cert_verify: false
      enable_renegotiation: false
      root_cas: ""
      root_cas_file: ""
      client_certs: []
    sasl:
      mechanism: none
      user: ""
      password: ""
```

## [](#metadata)Metadata

This input adds the following metadata fields to each message:

```text
- amqp_content_type
- amqp_content_encoding
- amqp_creation_time
- All string typed message annotations
```

You can access these metadata fields using [function interpolation](https://docs.redpanda.com/connect/configuration/interpolation/#bloblang-queries).

By setting `read_header` to `true`, additional message header properties will be added to each message:

```text
- amqp_durable
- amqp_priority
- amqp_ttl
- amqp_first_acquirer
- amqp_delivery_count
```

## [](#performance)Performance

This input benefits from receiving multiple messages in flight in parallel for improved performance. You can tune the max number of in flight messages with the field `credit`.

## [](#fields)Fields

### [](#azure_renew_lock)`azure_renew_lock`

Experimental: Azure service bus specific option to renew lock if processing takes more then configured lock time

Requires version 3.45.0 or later.

**Type**: `bool`

**Default**: `false`

### [](#credit)`credit`

Specifies the maximum number of unacknowledged messages the sender can transmit. Once this limit is reached, no more messages will arrive until messages are acknowledged and settled.

Requires version 4.26.0 or later.

**Type**: `int`

**Default**: `64`

### [](#read_header)`read_header`

Read additional message header fields into `amqp_*` metadata properties.

Requires version 4.25.0 or later.

**Type**: `bool`

**Default**: `false`

### [](#sasl)`sasl`

Enables SASL authentication.

**Type**: `object`

### [](#sasl-mechanism)`sasl.mechanism`

The SASL authentication mechanism to use.

**Type**: `string`

**Default**: `none`

| Option | Summary |
| --- | --- |
| anonymous | Anonymous SASL authentication. |
| none | No SASL based authentication. |
| plain | Plain text SASL authentication. |

### [](#sasl-password)`sasl.password`

A SASL plain text password. It is recommended that you use environment variables to populate this field.

> ⚠️ **CAUTION**
>
> This field contains sensitive information that usually shouldn’t be added to a configuration directly. For more information, see [Secrets](https://docs.redpanda.com/connect/configuration/secrets/).

**Type**: `string`

**Default**: `""`

```yaml
# Examples:
password: ${PASSWORD}
```

### [](#sasl-user)`sasl.user`

A SASL plain text username. It is recommended that you use environment variables to populate this field.

**Type**: `string`

**Default**: `""`

```yaml
# Examples:
user: ${USER}
```

### [](#source_address)`source_address`

The source address to consume from.

**Type**: `string`

```yaml
# Examples:
source_address: /foo

# ---

source_address: queue:/bar

# ---

source_address: topic:/baz
```

### [](#tls)`tls`

Custom TLS settings can be used to override system defaults.

**Type**: `object`

### [](#tls-client_certs)`tls.client_certs[]`

A list of client certificates to use. For each certificate either the fields `cert` and `key`, or `cert_file` and `key_file` should be specified, but not both.

**Type**: `object`

**Default**: `[]`

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

# ---

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

### [](#tls-client_certs-cert)`tls.client_certs[].cert`

A plain text certificate to use.

**Type**: `string`

**Default**: `""`

### [](#tls-client_certs-cert_file)`tls.client_certs[].cert_file`

The path of a certificate to use.

**Type**: `string`

**Default**: `""`

### [](#tls-client_certs-key)`tls.client_certs[].key`

A plain text certificate key to use.

> ⚠️ **CAUTION**
>
> This field contains sensitive information that usually shouldn’t be added to a configuration directly. For more information, see [Secrets](https://docs.redpanda.com/connect/configuration/secrets/).

**Type**: `string`

**Default**: `""`

### [](#tls-client_certs-key_file)`tls.client_certs[].key_file`

The path of a certificate key to use.

**Type**: `string`

**Default**: `""`

### [](#tls-client_certs-password)`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.

> ⚠️ **CAUTION**

**Type**: `string`

**Default**: `""`

```yaml
# Examples:
root_cas_file: ./root_cas.pem
