Monitoring RabbitMQ

Monitoring the running status of RabbitMQ message middleware, nodes, topics and other related metrics.

Pre-monitoring Operations

HertzBeat uses RabbitMQ Management's Rest Api to collect RabbitMQ metric data. Therefore, you need to enable the Management plug-in in your RabbitMQ environment

  1. Open the Management plugin, or use the self-opening version

    rabbitmq-plugins enable rabbitmq_management
  2. Access http://ip:15672/ with a browser, and the default account password is guest/guest. Successful login means that it is successfully opened.

  3. Just add the corresponding RabbitMQ monitoring in HertzBeat, the parameters use the IP port of Management, and the default account password.

Configuration parameters

Parameter nameParameter help description
Monitoring HostThe peer IPV4, IPV6 or domain name to be monitored. Note ⚠️Without protocol header (eg: https://, http://).
Monitoring nameThe name that identifies this monitoring, and the name needs to be unique.
PortThe HTTP port provided by RabbitMQ Management, the default is 15672.
UsernameUsername used for interface Basic authentication
PasswordThe password used for interface Basic authentication
TimeoutHTTP request query timeout
Acquisition IntervalInterval time for monitoring periodic data collection, in seconds, the minimum interval that can be set is 30 seconds
Whether to detectWhether to detect and check the availability of monitoring before adding monitoring, and the operation of adding and modifying will continue after the detection is successful
