  ## maximum duration before timing out read of the request
  read_timeout = "10s"
  ## maximum duration before timing out write of the response
  write_timeout = "10s"

  ## Maximum allowed HTTP request body size in bytes.
  ## 0 means to use the default of 32MiB.

  ## Set one or more allowed client CA certificate file names to
  ## enable mutually authenticated TLS connections

  ## Optional tag name used to store the database name.
  ## If the write has a database in the query string then it will be kept in this tag name.
  ## This tag can be used in downstream outputs.
  ## The default value of nothing means it will be off and the database will not be recorded.
  ## If you have a tag that is the same as the one specified below, and supply a database,
  ## the tag will be overwritten with the database supplied.

  ## If set the retention policy specified in the write query will be added as
  ## the value of this tag name.
  # retention_policy_tag = ""

  ## Optional username and password to accept for HTTP basic authentication
  ## or authentication token.
  ## You probably want to make sure you have TLS configured above for this.
  ## Use these options for the authentication token in the form
  ##   Authentication: Token <basic_username>:<basic_password>
  # basic_username = "foobar"
  # basic_password = "barfoo"

  ## Optional JWT token authentication for HTTP requests
  ## Please see the documentation at
  ##   https://docs.influxdb.org.cn/influxdb/v1.8/administration/authentication_and_authorization/#authenticate-using-jwt-tokens
  ## for further details.
  ## Please note: Token authentication and basic authentication cannot be used
  ##              at the same time.

  ## Influx line protocol parser
  ## 'internal' is the default. 'upstream' is a newer parser that is faster
  ## and more memory efficient.
