  • Agent Client Collector provides the following default checks and policies for RabbitMQ health monitoring. You must perform RabbitMQ discovery before executing the checks. RabbitMQ checks are available only in a Windows environment.

    Tableau 1. RabbitMQ Events policy
    Type Check Description Command
    Event check-rabbitmq-alive Verifies whether the RabbitMQ server is alive, using the REST API. If the server is down, an alert triggers. check-rabbitmq-alive.rb --host {{.labels.params_host}} --port {{.labels.params_port}} -v {{.labels.params_vhost}}
    Event check-rabbitmq-cluster-health Verifies whether the RabbitMQ server's cluster nodes are running. If the nodes are down, an alert triggers. check-rabbitmq-cluster-health.rb --host {{.labels.params_host}} --port {{.labels.params_port}}
    Event check-rabbitmq-consumers Verifies the number of consumers on the RabbitMQ server and triggers an alert based on the configured threshold. check-rabbitmq-consumers.rb {{if .labels.params_warn}} --warn {{.labels.params_warn}} {{end}} {{if .labels.params_critical}} --critical {{.labels.params_critical}} {{end}} --host {{.labels.params_host}} --port {{.labels.params_port}}
    Event check-rabbitmq-messages Verifies the total number of messages queued on the RabbitMQ server and triggers an alert based on the threshold. check-rabbitmq-messages.rb --critical {{.labels.params_critical}} --port {{.labels.params_port}} --warn {{.labels.params_warn}} --host {{.labels.params_host}}
    Event check-rabbitmq-network-partitions Verifies whether the RabbitMQ network partition has occurred and triggers an alert based on the threshold. check-rabbitmq-network-partitions.rb --host {{.labels.params_host}} --port {{.labels.params_port}}
    Event check-rabbitmq-node-health Verifies whether the RabbitMQ server node is in a running state.
    check-rabbitmq-node-health.rb --host {{.labels.params_host}} {{if .labels.params_watchalarms}} --alarms {{.labels.params_watchalarms}} {{end}} {{if .labels.params_socketwarn}} --swarn {{.labels.params_socketwarn}} {{end}} {{if .labels.params_memcrit}} --mcrit {{.labels.params_memcrit}} {{end}} {{if .labels.params_fdcrit}} --fcrit {{.labels.params_fdcrit}} {{end}} {{if .labels.params_socketcrit}} --scrit {{.labels.params_socketcrit}} {{end}} --port {{.labels.params_port}} {{if .labels.params_memwarn}} --mwarn {{.labels.params_memwarn}} {{end}} {{if .labels.params_fdwarn}} --fwarn {{.labels.params_fdwarn}} {{end}}
    Event check-rabbitmq-node-usage Checks and displays usage of the RabbitMQ server node.
    check-rabbitmq-node-usage.rb {{if .labels.params_procwarn}} --pwarn {{.labels.params_procwarn}} {{end}} --port {{.labels.params_port}} {{if .labels.params_socketwarn}} --swarn {{.labels.params_socketwarn}} {{end}} --type {{.labels.params_type}} {{if .labels.params_diskcrit}} --dcrit {{.labels.params_diskcrit}} {{end}} {{if .labels.params_fdcrit}} --fcrit {{.labels.params_fdcrit}} {{end}} {{if .labels.params_proccrit}} --pcrit {{.labels.params_proccrit}} {{end}} {{if .labels.params_diskwarn}} --dwarn {{.labels.params_diskwarn}} {{end}} {{if .labels.params_socketcrit}} --scrit {{.labels.params_socketcrit}} {{end}} --host {{.labels.params_host}} {{if .labels.params_memcrit}} --mcrit {{.labels.params_memcrit}} {{end}} {{if .labels.params_fdwarn}} --fwarn {{.labels.params_fdwarn}} {{end}} {{if .labels.params_memwarn}} mwarn {{.labels.params_memwarn}} {{end}}
    Event check-rabbitmq-queue-drain-time Verifies the time it will take for each queue on the RabbitMQ server to drain, based on the current message exit rate.

    For example, if a queue has 1,000 messages in it but only 1 message exits per second, an alert generates because the default critical level of 360 seconds has been exceeded.

    check-rabbitmq-queue-drain-time.rb --host {{.labels.params_host}} --port {{.labels.params_port}} --warn {{.labels.params_warn}} --critical {{.labels.params_critical}}
    Event check-rabbitmq-queues-synchronised Verifies that all mirrored queues with secondary queues are synchronised. check-rabbitmq-queues-synchronised.rb --host {{.labels.params_host}} --port {{.labels.params_port}}
    Event check-rabbitmq-stomp-alive Verifies whether the RabbitMQ server is alive and responding to STOMP. check-rabbitmq-stomp-alive.rb --host {{.labels.params_host}} --queue {{.labels.params_queue}} --port {{.labels.params_port}}
    Tableau 2. RabbitMQ Metrics policy
    Type Check Description Command
    Metric metrics-rabbitmq-overview Provides RabbitMQ overview statistics. metrics-rabbitmq-overview.rb --port {{.labels.params_port}} --host {{.labels.params_host}}
    Metric metrics-rabbitmq-queue Provides RabbitMQ metrics per queue. metrics-rabbitmq-queue.rb --port {{.labels.params_port}} --host {{.labels.params_host}} {{if .labels.params_vhost}} --vhost {{.labels.params_vhost}} {{end}}
