redis_streams

Pulls messages from Redis (v5.0+) streams with the XREADGROUP command. The client_id should be unique for each consumer of a group.

# Common config fields, showing default values
input:
label: ""
redis_streams:
url: redis://:6397 # No default (required)
body_key: body
streams: [] # No default (required)
limit: 10
client_id: ""
consumer_group: ""

Redis stream entries are key/value pairs, as such it is necessary to specify the key that contains the body of the message. All other keys/value pairs are saved as metadata fields.

Fields

url

The URL of the target Redis server. Database is optional and is supplied as the URL path.

Type: string

# Examples

url: redis://:6397

url: redis://localhost:6379

url: redis://foousername:foopassword@redisplace:6379

url: redis://:foopassword@redisplace:6379

url: redis://localhost:6379/1

url: redis://localhost:6379/1,redis://localhost:6380/1

kind

Specifies a simple, cluster-aware, or failover-aware redis client.

Type: string
Default: "simple"
Options: simple, cluster, failover.

master

Name of the redis master when kind is failover

Type: string
Default: ""

# Examples

master: mymaster

tls

Custom TLS settings can be used to override system defaults.

Troubleshooting

Some cloud hosted instances of Redis (such as Azure Cache) might need some hand holding in order to establish stable connections. Unfortunately, it is often the case that TLS issues will manifest as generic error messages such as "i/o timeout". If you're using TLS and are seeing connectivity problems consider setting enable_renegotiation to true, and ensuring that the server supports at least TLS version 1.2.

Type: object

tls.enabled

Whether custom TLS settings are enabled.

Type: bool
Default: false

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.

Secret

This field contains sensitive information that usually shouldn't be added to a config directly, read our secrets page for more info.

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[].cert

A plain text certificate to use.

Type: string
Default: ""

tls.client_certs[].key

A plain text certificate key to use.

Secret

This field contains sensitive information that usually shouldn't be added to a config directly, read our secrets page for more info.

Type: string
Default: ""

tls.client_certs[].cert_file

The path of a certificate to use.

Type: string
Default: ""

tls.client_certs[].key_file

The path of a certificate key to use.

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. Warning: Since it does not authenticate the ciphertext, it is vulnerable to padding oracle attacks that can let an attacker recover the plaintext.

Secret

This field contains sensitive information that usually shouldn't be added to a config directly, read our secrets page for more info.

Type: string
Default: ""

# Examples

password: foo

password: ${KEY_PASSWORD}

body_key

The field key to extract the raw message from. All other keys will be stored in the message as metadata.

Type: string
Default: "body"

streams

A list of streams to consume from.

Type: array

limit

The maximum number of messages to consume from a single request.

Type: int
Default: 10

client_id

An identifier for the client connection.

Type: string
Default: ""

consumer_group

An identifier for the consumer group of the stream.

Type: string
Default: ""

create_streams

Create subscribed streams if they do not exist (MKSTREAM option).

Type: bool
Default: true

start_from_oldest

If an offset is not found for a stream, determines whether to consume from the oldest available offset, otherwise messages are consumed from the latest offset.

Type: bool
Default: true

commit_period

The period of time between each commit of the current offset. Offsets are always committed during shutdown.

Type: string
Default: "1s"

timeout

The length of time to poll for new messages before reattempting.

Type: string
Default: "1s"
