Configuration​

Edit the python.d/rabbitmq.conf configuration file using edit-config from the Netdata config directory, which is typically at /etc/netdata.

cd /etc/netdata   # Replace this path with your Netdata config directory, if different
sudo ./edit-config python.d/rabbitmq.conf

When no configuration file is found, module tries to connect to: localhost:15672.

socket:
  name     : 'local'
  host     : '127.0.0.1'
  port     :  15672
  user     : 'guest'
  pass     : 'guest'

Per-Queue Chart configuration​

RabbitMQ users with the "monitoring" tag cannot see all queue data. You'll need a user with read permissions. To create a dedicated user for netdata:

rabbitmqctl add_user netdata ChangeThisSuperSecretPassword
rabbitmqctl set_permissions netdata "^$" "^$" ".*"

See set_permissions for details.

Once the user is set up, add collect_queues_metrics: yes to your rabbitmq.conf:

local:
  name                   : 'local'
  host                   : '127.0.0.1'
  port                   :  15672
  user                   : 'netdata'
  pass                   : 'ChangeThisSuperSecretPassword'
  collect_queues_metrics : 'yes'
