Usage

Overview

Use the management interface of RabbitMQ to count the number of pending, ready and unacknowledged messages. These are published as performance metrics for the check.

Critical and warning thresholds can be set for each of the metrics.

It uses Monitoring::Plugin and accepts all standard Nagios options.

Options

-h | --help

Display help text

-v | --verbose

Verbose output

-t | --timeout

Set a timeout for the check in seconds

-H | --hostname | --host

The host to connect to

--port

The port to connect to (default: 55672)

--ssl

Use SSL when connecting (default: false)

--username | --user

The user to connect as (default: guest)

--pass

The password for the user (default: guest)

-w | --warning

The warning levels for each count of messages, messages_ready and messages_unacknowledged. This field consists of three comma-separated integers. Specify -1 if no threshold for a particular count.

-c | --critical

The critical levels for each count of messages, messages_ready and messages_unacknowledged. This field consists of three comma-separated integers. Specify -1 if no threshold for a particular count

Examples

The defaults all work with a standard fresh install of RabbitMQ, and all that is needed is to specify the host to connect to:

    check_rabbitmq_overview -H rabbit.example.com

This returns a standard Nagios result:

    RABBITMQ_OVERVIEW OK - messages OK (25794) messages_ready OK (22971)
      messages_unacknowledged OK (2823) | messages=25794;;
      messages_ready=22971;; messages_unacknowledged=2823;;

Errors

The check tries to provide useful error messages on the status line for standard error conditions.

Otherwise it returns the HTTP Error message returned by the management interface.

Exit status

Returns zero if check is OK otherwise returns standard Nagios exit codes to signify WARNING, UNKNOWN or CRITICAL state.
