RabbitMQ is an open-source message broker that supports multiple messaging protocols including AMQP.

Auto-Detection

Section titled “Auto-Detection”

Glouton detects RabbitMQ by its process and listening port (default: 5672).

To enable metrics gathering, credentials are required. By default, guest/guest is used.

If auto-detected parameters are incorrect, override them manually:

Terminal window
sudo tee /etc/glouton/conf.d/99-rabbitmq.conf > /dev/null << 'EOF'
service:
  # For a RabbitMQ running outside a container
  - type: "rabbitmq"
    username: "USERNAME"
    password: "PASSWORD"
    address: "127.0.0.1"
    port: 5672          # Port of AMQP service
    stats_port: 15672   # Port of RabbitMQ management interface


  # For an additional RabbitMQ running outside a container
  - type: "rabbitmq"
    instance: "NAME_ASSOCIATED_WITH_YOUR_ADDITIONAL_SERVICE"
    username: "USERNAME"
    password: "PASSWORD"
    address: "127.0.0.1"
    port: 5673
    stats_port: 15673


  # For a RabbitMQ running in a Docker container
  - type: "rabbitmq"
    instance: "CONTAINER_NAME"
    username: "USERNAME"
    password: "PASSWORD"
    address: "172.17.0.2"
    port: 5672
    stats_port: 15672
EOF

Glouton automatically detects configuration changes.

Health Check

Section titled “Health Check”

Glouton performs an AMQP protocol check on the configured port to verify that RabbitMQ is responding.
