RabbitMQ Exporter

Prometheus exporter for RabbitMQ metrics, based on RabbitMQ HTTP API.

Dependencies

• Prometheus client for Golang
• Logging

Setting up locally rabbitMQ and exporter with docker

1. Start rabbitMQ

    $ docker run -d -e RABBITMQ_NODENAME=my-rabbit --name my-rabbit -p 15672:15672 -p 9090:9090 rabbitmq:3-management
   

2. Start rabbitmq_exporter in container.

    $ docker run -d --net=container:my-rabbit kbudde/rabbitmq-exporter
   

Now your metrics are available through http://localhost:9090/metrics.

The rabbitmq_exporter is sharing the network interface with the rabbitmq container -> it is possible to use localhost and default user/password. Disadvantage: you have to publish the port (9090) in the rabbitmq container.

Configuration

Rabbitmq_exporter uses environment variables for configuration. Settings:

• RABBIT_URL: "http://localhost:15672",
• RABBIT_USER: "guest",
• RABBIT_PASSWORD: "guest",
• PUBLISH_PORT: "9090",
• OUTPUT_FORMAT: "TTY", //change to JSON if needed

Example

OUTPUT_FORMAT=JSON PUBLISH_PORT=9099 ./rabbitmq_exporter
