| Throttling limit   | Limits the number of outbound messages per second. If sending data to a server that has restrictions on the rate of incoming messages, this ensures that no messages are lost.            |
| Persistent storage | If enabled, messages in the outbound queue are stored on disk. If there are interruptions in connection or power loss, messages are retained and sent when the connection is restored.    |
| Queue mode         | Sequence of data transfer: FIFO or LIFO. Selecting FIFO (First In First Out) will send the earliest message first. Selecting LIFO (Last In First Out) will send the latest message first. |
| Remote Data Topic  | InfluxDB measurement that you want to publish data to.                                                                                                                                    |
