What is the queue "tcpout_peer_nodes" for? I'm seeing it fill up in metrics.log on my universal forwarder

I'm seeing the queue "tcpout_peer_nodes" almost fill up on my UF:

06-11-2018 10:40:18.384 -0400 INFO  Metrics - group=queue, name=tcpout_peer_nodes, max_size=7340032, current_size=7296696, largest_size=7296696, smallest_size=7296696

Anybody know what it's for or how to change it? Google literally has 0 hits for "tcpout_peer_nodes", same with Splunk Answers.

I answered my own question: "peer_nodes" is the name of my output stanza (duh). I changed the size of it under that stanza.
