Question by Jason O. · Dec 11, 2014 at 08:34 AM ·

DT Agent on Rabbit MQ Server

I've read up on Rabbit MQ (and in our forums) and I'm having trouble finding out how to get an agent on Rabbit MQ Server. We just upgraded our Test environments to 6.1 and we would like to use the new OOTB Rabbit MQ Support.The problem is that Rabbit MQ Server runs on Erlang on a Windows 64 bit server. I have tried to use the NON-.NET processes portion of the .NET config tool for erl.exe and erlsrv.exe, but the agent wouldn't start on the restart of either of those.

Does anyone know what type of agent is recommended for this and how to implement it?

Thanks,

Jason

That sounds correct.

You are also correct in that with 6.1, we don't have to manually tag code anymore. If you knew the methods I was just going to cross reference them with the AMQP Sensor just to double check.

For monitoring Queue Depth of Rabbit MQ and other metrics, check out the RabbitMQ Monitor Plugin.

Thanks for the help Jeffrey,

I had looked at the RabbitMQ Plugin,but was hoping that the new functionality got rid of having to use the plugin. Now that I look at it again, the portion that grabs the metrics provided in REST would be very useful to us.

From my understanding our architecture is Client->Rabbit MQ->Mulesoft ESB->DB. We already have agents on the Mulesoft ESB side of things, I would just need to place the AMQP sensors on them. I would also have to place agents and the AMQP sensors on all of the client machines. Does this sound correct?

I am not sure which specific methods the app's code is using to send and receive RabbitMQ messages, but I thought the 6.1 OOTB functionality would do away with having to know these. (I.E. We don't have to tag code anymore) I do know that they would like to be able to see the Queue length of RabbitMQ. Do you know if this is possible?

Thanks for all the help,

Jason

To instrument RabbitMQ, you don't need to have an agent on the RabbitMQ Server (this is similar for all the Messaging protocols like JMS,MQ,Tibco, MSMQ, etc).

Make sure the AMQP sensor is placed on both the producer  and the consumer of RabbitMQ messages.

Do you know which specific methods the application's code is using to send and receive RabbitMQ messages?
