[[metricbeat-module-rabbitmq]]
== RabbitMQ module

The RabbitMQ module uses http://www.rabbitmq.com/management.html[HTTP API] created by the management plugin to collect metrics.

The default metricsets are `connection`, `node`, `queue` and `exchange`.

If `management.path_prefix` is set in RabbitMQ configuration, `management_path_prefix` has to be set to the same value in this module configuration.

=== Compatibility

The rabbitmq module is fully tested with RabbitMQ 3.7.4 and it should be compatible with any version supporting the management plugin (which needs to be installed and enabled). Exchange metricset is also tested with 3.6.0, 3.6.5 and 3.7.14


[float]
=== Example configuration

The RabbitMQ module supports the standard configuration options that are described
in <<configuration-metricbeat>>. Here is an example configuration:

----
metricbeat.modules:
- module: rabbitmq
  metricsets: ["node", "queue", "connection"]
  enabled: true
  period: 10s
  hosts: ["localhost:15672"]

  # Management path prefix, if `management.path_prefix` is set in RabbitMQ
  # configuration, it has to be set to the same value.
  #management_path_prefix: ""

  #username: guest
  #password: guest

This module supports TLS connections when using `ssl` config field, as described in <<configuration-ssl>>.
