RabbitMQ is a messaging broker - an intermediary for messaging. It gives your applications a common platform to send and receive messages, and your messages a safe place to live until received.

This integration will pull out key metrics from your RabbitMQ cluster using the RabbitMQ management plugin APIs.

Metric Name Type Labels Unit Description
rabbitmq.cluster_confirm_count Counter cluster   Rate at which cluster is confirming publishes.
rabbitmq.cluster_disk_read_count Counter cluster   Rate at which cluster is reading messages from disk.
rabbitmq.cluster_disk_write_count Counter cluster   Rate at which cluster is writing messages to disk.
rabbitmq.cluster_publish_count Counter cluster   Rate at which messages are entering the cluster.
rabbitmq.cluster_return_unroutable_count Counter cluster   Rate at which unroutable messages are entering the cluster.
rabbitmq.cluster_channels Gauge cluster   Total number of channels in cluster.
rabbitmq.cluster_connections Gauge cluster   Total number of connections in cluster.

To enable Outlyer to monitor RabbitMQ you need to enable the management plugin. The management plugin is included in the RabbitMQ distribution. To enable it, use rabbitmq-plugins:

$ rabbitmq-plugins enable rabbitmq_management

The Default Web UI is located at: http://server-name:15672/. The Web UI uses an HTTP API provided by the same plugin. The API’s endpoints can be accessed at http://server-host:15672/api/

In the RabbitMQ check you can override the following settings:

Variable Default Description
port 1567 Port running management plugin APIs.
protocol http HTTP Protocol, either http or https.
verify_ssl false Should SSL verification be disabled or not.
username guest The username for the RabbitMQ Cluster.
password guest The password for the RabbitMQ Cluster.
Version Release Date Description
1.0 30-May-2018 Initial version of our RabbitMQ monitoring integration.
