+
+The plugin's configuration consists of a I<Transport> that configures
+communications to the AMQP 1.0 messaging bus and one or more I<Instance>
+corresponding to metric or event publishers to the messaging system.
+
+The address in the I<Transport> block concatenated with the name given in the
+I<Instance> block starting tag will be used as the send-to address for
+communications over the messaging link.
+
+The following options are accepted within each I<Transport> block:
+

+
+=item B<Host> I<Host>

+
+=item B<Port> I<Port>
+
+Service name or port number on which the AMQP 1.0 intermediary accepts

+is used. Defaults to "5672".

+By default, "collectd" will be used.
+
+=item B<RetryDelay> I<RetryDelay>
+
+When the AMQP1 connection is lost, defines the time in seconds to wait
+before attempting to reconnect. Defaults to 1, which implies attempt

+
+The following options are accepted within each I<Instance> block:
+
+=over 4
+
+=item B<Format> B<Command>|B<JSON>|B<Graphite>
+
+Selects the format in which messages are sent to the intermediary. If set to
+B<Command> (the default), values are sent as C<PUTVAL> commands which are
+identical to the syntax used by the I<Exec> and I<UnixSock plugins>. In this
+case, the C<Content-Type> header field will be set to C<text/collectd>.
+

+
+If set to B<false> (the default), the plugin will wait for a message
+acknowledgement from the messaging bus before sending the next

+system. If set to B<true>, the plugin will not wait for a message
+acknowledgement and the message may be dropped prior to transfer of
+ownership.
+
+=item B<Notify> B<true>|B<false>
+
+If set to B<false> (the default), the plugin will service the

+for alert formatting.

+are converted to a I<rate> (i.e. a C<GAUGE> value). If set to B<false> (the
+default), no conversion is performed. Otherwise the conversion is performed

+=item B<RestoreAffinityPolicy> I<AllCPUs>|I<Restore>
+
+Reading data from CPU has side-effect: collectd process's CPU affinity mask
+changes. After reading data is completed, affinity mask needs to be restored.
+This option allows to set restore policy.
+
+B<AllCPUs> (the default): Restore the affinity by setting affinity to any/all
+CPUs.
+
+B<Restore>: Save affinity using sched_getaffinity() before reading data and
+restore it after.
+
+On some systems, sched_getaffinity() will fail due to inconsistency of the CPU
+set size between userspace and kernel. In these cases plugin will detect the
+unsuccessful call and fail with an error, preventing data collection.
+Most of configurations does not need to save affinity as Collectd process is
+allowed to run on any/all available CPUs.
+
+If you need to save and restore affinity and get errors like 'Unable to save
+the CPU affinity', setting 'possible_cpus' kernel boot option may also help.
