The source will subscribe to a Zero Mq topic to import the messages into eKuiper

server

The url of the Zero Mq server that the source will subscribe to.

Override the default settings

If you have a specific connection that need to overwrite the default settings, you can create a customized section. In the previous sample, we create a specific setting named with test. Then you can specify the configuration with option CONF_KEY when creating the stream definition (see stream specs for more info).

Sample usage

demo (
		...
	) WITH (DATASOURCE="demo", FORMAT="JSON", CONF_KEY="test", TYPE="zmq");

The configuration keys "test" will be used. The Zero Mq topic to subscribe is "demo" as specified in the DATASOURCE.
