Retrace supports monitoring RabbitMQ queues. To do so, you must first setup a connection that can be used to connect to them.
RabbitMQ is monitored using the management plugin, ensure this is enabled and accessible (https://www.rabbitmq.com/management.html).
To get to the RabbitMQ connections screen, navigate to Settings > RabbitMQ Connections.
Note: RabbitMQ connections are only supported with the Linux Agent. In order to set up a connection for RabbitMQ running on Windows, you will need to have an agent installed on a Linux box to facilitate the connection.
- Name your RabbitMQ connection in the Connection Description box.
- Enter your Connection Address. An example of a standard connection address would be:
http://your_hostname:your_port
-
If the connection is authenticated, choose the password for your connection in the Password dropdown box. (To learn how to setup passwords within Stackify, see the article on Passwords)
-
Finally, click "Insert" to save the connection.
Creating RabbitMQ Monitors
Once you have created a connection, you will be able to associate a RabbitMQ resource monitor with an app through Configuring App Monitors or a server through Server Monitoring Templates.
From there, you can add thresholds and set up alerts just like any other monitor.
