## Configuration

```toml @sample.conf
# Send metrics to a Quix data processing pipeline
[[outputs.quix]]
  ## Endpoint for providing the configuration
  # url = "https://portal-api.platform.quix.io"

  ## Workspace and topics to send the metrics to
  workspace = "your_workspace"
  topic = "your_topic"

  ## Authentication token created in Quix
  token = "your_auth_token"

  ## Amount of time allowed to complete the HTTP request for fetching the config
  # timeout = "5s"
```

The plugin requires a [SDK token][token] for authentication with Quix. You can
generate the `token` in settings under the `API and tokens` section.

Furthermore, the `workspace` parameter must be set to the `Workspace ID` or the
`Environment ID` of your Quix project. Those values can be found in settings
under the `General settings` section.
