It is possible to configure an open_message
, which when set to a non-empty string will be sent to the websocket server each time a connection is first established.
Fields
open_message_type
An optional flag to indicate the data type of open_message.
Type: string
Default: "binary"
Option | Summary |
---|---|
|
Binary data open_message. |
|
Text data open_message. The text message payload is interpreted as UTF-8 encoded text data. |
auto_replay_nacks
Whether messages that are rejected (nacked) at the output level should be automatically replayed indefinitely, eventually resulting in back pressure if the cause of the rejections is persistent. If set to false
these messages will instead be deleted. Disabling auto replays can greatly improve memory efficiency of high throughput streams as the original shape of the data can be discarded immediately upon consumption and mutation.
Type: bool
Default: true
tls.skip_cert_verify
Whether to skip server side certificate verification.
Type: bool
Default: false
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
.
Type: bool
Default: false
Requires version 3.45.0 or newer
tls.root_cas
An optional root certificate authority to use. This is a string, representing a certificate chain from the parent trusted root certificate, to 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
An optional path of a root certificate authority file to use. This is a file, often with a .pem extension, containing a certificate chain from the parent trusted root certificate, to possible intermediate signing certificates, to the host certificate.
Type: string
Default: ""
# Examples
root_cas_file: ./root_cas.pem
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: array
Default: []
# Examples
client_certs:
- cert: foo
key: bar
client_certs:
- cert_file: ./example.pem
key_file: ./example.key
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[].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}
connection.max_retries
An optional limit to the number of consecutive retry attempts that will be made before abandoning the connection altogether and gracefully terminating the input. When all inputs terminate in this way the service (or stream) will shut down. If set to zero connections will never be reattempted upon a failure. If set below zero this field is ignored (effectively unset).
Type: int
# Examples
max_retries: -1
max_retries: 10
oauth.consumer_key
A value used to identify the client to the service provider.
Type: string
Default: ""
oauth.consumer_secret
A secret used to establish ownership of the consumer key.
This field contains sensitive information that usually shouldn’t be added to a configuration directly. For more information, see Secrets. |
Type: string
Default: ""
oauth.access_token
A value used to gain access to the protected resources on behalf of the user.
Type: string
Default: ""
oauth.access_token_secret
A secret provided in order to establish ownership of a given access token.
This field contains sensitive information that usually shouldn’t be added to a configuration directly. For more information, see Secrets. |
Type: string
Default: ""
basic_auth.password
A password to authenticate with.
This field contains sensitive information that usually shouldn’t be added to a configuration directly. For more information, see Secrets. |
Type: string
Default: ""
jwt.private_key_file
A file with the PEM encoded using PKCS1 or PKCS8 as private key.
Type: string
Default: ""
