It collects data using an HTTP-based API provided by the . The following endpoints are used: `/api/overview` `/api/node/{node_name}` `/api/vhosts` `/api/queues` (disabled by default) This collector is supported on all platforms. This collector supports collecting metrics from multiple instances of this integration, including remote instances. This integration doesn't support auto-detection. The default configuration for this integration does not impose any limits on data collection. The default configuration for this integration is not expected to impose a significant performance impact on the system. Metrics grouped by scope. The scope defines the instance that the metric belongs to. An instance is uniquely identified by a set of labels. These metrics refer to the entire monitored application. This scope has no labels. Metrics: | Metric | Dimensions | Unit | |:|:-|:-| | rabbitmq.messages_count | ready, unacknowledged | messages | | rabbitmq.messagesrate | ack, publish, publishin, publishout, confirm, deliver, delivernoack, get, getnoack, deliverget, redeliver, return_unroutable | messages/s | | rabbitmq.objects_count | channels, consumers, connections, queues, exchanges | messages | | rabbitmq.connectionchurnrate | created, closed | operations/s | | rabbitmq.channelchurnrate | created, closed | operations/s | | rabbitmq.queuechurnrate | created, deleted, declared | operations/s | | rabbitmq.filedescriptorscount | available, used | fd | | rabbitmq.sockets_count | available, used | sockets | | rabbitmq.erlangprocessescount | available, used | processes | | rabbitmq.erlangrunqueueprocessescount | length | processes | | rabbitmq.memory_usage | used | bytes | | rabbitmq.diskspacefree_size | free | bytes | These metrics refer to the virtual host.

You can edit the configuration file using the `edit-config` script from the Netdata . ```bash cd /etc/netdata 2>/dev/null || cd /opt/netdata/etc/netdata sudo ./edit-config go.d/rabbitmq.conf ``` The following options can be defined globally: updateevery, autodetectionretry. <details><summary>Config options</summary> | Name | Description | Default | Required | |:-|:--|:-|:--:| | update_every | Data collection frequency. | 1 | no | | autodetection_retry | Recheck interval in seconds. Zero means no recheck will be scheduled. | 0 | no | | url | Server URL. | http://localhost:15672 | yes | | collectqueuesmetrics | Collect stats per vhost per queues. Enabling this can introduce serious overhead on both Netdata and RabbitMQ if many queues are configured and used. | no | no | | timeout | HTTP request timeout. | 1 | no | | username | Username for basic HTTP authentication. | | no | | password | Password for basic HTTP authentication. | | no | | proxy_url | Proxy URL. | | no | | proxy_username | Username for proxy basic HTTP authentication. | | no | | proxy_password | Password for proxy basic HTTP authentication. | | no | | method | HTTP request method. | GET | no | | body | HTTP request body. | | no | | headers | HTTP request headers. | | no | | notfollowredirects | Redirect handling policy.

The output should give you clues as to why the collector isn't working. Navigate to the `plugins.d` directory, usually at `/usr/libexec/netdata/plugins.d/`. If that's not the case on your system, open `netdata.conf` and look for the `plugins` setting under `[directories]`. ```bash cd /usr/libexec/netdata/plugins.d/ ``` Switch to the `netdata` user. ```bash sudo -u netdata -s ``` Run the `go.d.plugin` to debug the collector: ```bash ./go.d.plugin -d -m rabbitmq ```
