How to use a command-line tool for monitoring RabbitMQ server?

Answer

To use a command-line tool for monitoring RabbitMQ server:

1. Run the special service:

   service onapp-mq-trace status / start / stop / restart / log

   Where:

   • status - show the running service status
   • start / stop - start or stop
   • restart - stop (if stopped) and start again 
   • log - show log of tracer in tail -f mode(the service must be running)

    

2.  /onapp/utilities/mq-tracer/trace.log file will be truncated every time during service start .

   Before starting to use this service, set up connection credentials for RabbitMQ in /onapp/utilities/mq-tracer/config.yml (copy from /onapp/interface/config/on_app.yml) :

   rabbitmq_login: guest
   rabbitmq_password: guest
   rabbitmq_vhost: "/"
   rabbitmq_host: 127.0.0.1
   rabbitmq_port: 5662
   log_verbosity_level: 2

   Where:
   log_verbosity_level - can be 1(minimal), 2(most informative) or 3(debug)
   1 - message body
   2 - body + properties
   3 - body + properties + delivery_info

   You can find log files in /onapp/utilities/mq-tracer/ :

   trace.log - the trace log (same info that service onapp-mq-trace log gives)
   util.log - error logs of the tool itself

   The following step is no longer needed if you have the 4.2.0-127 (or higher) OnApp update installed.

3. If RabbitMQ server runs on a separate host, enable debug mode on it manually using the following command in that host:

rabbitmqctl trace_on
