| Throttling limit   | Set a limit on 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 will be retained and eventually sent when the connection is restored. |
| Queue mode         | Select the 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.                                                                                                                                                |
