An up-and-coming minimalistic Prometheus exporter for core (unaggregated) RabbitMQ metrics

Prometheus Exporter of Core (Raw, Unaggregated) RabbitMQ Metrics

Getting Started

This is a Prometheus exporter of core (raw, unaggregated) RabbitMQ metrics, developed by the RabbitMQ core team. It is largely a "clean room" design that reuses some prior work from Prometheus exporters done by the community.

Project Maturity

This plugin is new and relatively immature. It shipped in the RabbitMQ distribution starting with 3.8.0.

Documentation

See Monitoring RabbitMQ with Prometheus and Grafana.

Installation

This plugin is included into RabbitMQ 3.8.x releases. Like all plugins, it has to be enabled before it can be used:

To enable it with rabbitmq-plugins:

rabbitmq-plugins enable rabbitmq_prometheus

Usage

See the documentation guide.

Default port used by the plugin is 15692. In most environments there would be no configuration necessary.

See the entire list of metrics exposed via the default port.

Configuration

This exporter supports the following options via a set of prometheus.* configuration keys:

• prometheus.path defines a scrape endpoint. Default is "/metrics".
• prometheus.tcp.* controls HTTP listener settings that match those used by the RabbitMQ HTTP API
• prometheus.ssl.* controls TLS (HTTPS) listener settings that match those used by the RabbitMQ HTTP API

Sample configuration snippet:

# these values are defaults
prometheus.path = /metrics
prometheus.tcp.port =  15692

Contributing

See CONTRIBUTING.md.

Makefile

This project uses erlang.mk, running make help will return erlang.mk help.

For BASH shell autocompletion, run eval "$(make autocomplete)", then type make a<TAB> to see all Make targets starting with the letter a, e.g.:

$ make a<TAB
