The [RabbitMQ](https://www.rabbitmq.com/getstarted.html) app is a unified log app. Preconfigured dashboards provide insight into error logs. RabbitMQ logs are sent to Sumo Logic through OpenTelemetry [filelog receiver](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector-contrib/tree/main/receiver/filelogreceiver).

## Fields creation in Sumo Logic for RabbitMQ

Following are the [Fields](/docs/manage/fields/) which will be created as part of RabbitMQ App install if not already present.

* `messaging.cluster.name`. User configured. Specify the user-friendly cluster name which RabbitMQ belongs to.
* `sumo.datasource`. Has fixed value of **rabbitmq**.
* **`sumo.datasource`**. Fixed value of **rabbitmq**.
* **`messaging.system`**. Fixed value of **rabbitmq**.
* **`deployment.environment`**. This is a user-configured field set at the time of collector installation. It identifies the environment where the rabbitmq env resides, such as `dev`, `prod`, or `qa`.
* **`messaging.cluster.name`**. User configured. Enter a name to uniquely identify your RabbitMQ cluster. This cluster name will be shown in the Sumo Logic dashboards.
* **`messaging.node.name`**. Includes the value of the hostname of the machine which is being monitored.

## Prerequisites

### For metrics collection

:::note
The RabbitMQ receiver supports RabbitMQ versions `3.8` and `3.9`.
:::

Enable the RabbitMQ management plugin by following the instructions in the [RabbitMQ documentation](https://www.rabbitmq.com/management.html#getting-started). Also, make sure you at least have the [monitoring](https://www.rabbitmq.com/management.html#permissions) level permissions to monitor the metrics.


### For logs collection

This section provides instructions for configuring log collection for RabbitMQ running on a non-Kubernetes environment for the Sumo Logic App for RabbitMQ. By default, RabbitMQ logs are stored in a log file.

Follow the instructions to set up log collection:

1. **Configure logging in RabbitMQ**. RabbitMQ supports logging via the following methods: local text log files, syslog and stdout. RabbitMQ logs have six levels of verbosity: debug, info, warning, error, critical, none. For details please visit this [page](https://www.rabbitmq.com/logging.html#log-levels). For the dashboards to work properly, log level needs to be set to **debug**. Default log level is **info**. All logging settings are located in [RabbitMQ.conf](https://www.rabbitmq.com/logging.html).
2. **Configure RabbitMQ to write log lines to a local file**. By default, RabbitMQ logs are stored in `/var/log/rabbitmq/rabbit@<hostname>.log`. The default directory for log files is listed in the `RabbitMQ.conf` file. To configure the log output destination to a log file, use one of the following settings, either in the [configuration file](https://www.rabbitmq.com/logging.html). Edit or create `/etc/rabbitmq/rabbitmq.conf` file config:

log.file = rabbitmq.log

### Step 2: Configure integration

In this step, we will be configuring the yaml file required for RabbitMQ Collection. Path of the log file configured to capture RabbitMQ logs is needed to be given here.
OpenTelemetry works with a [configuration](https://opentelemetry.io/docs/collector/configuration/) yaml file with all the details concerning the data that needs to be collected. For example, it specifies the location of a log file that is read and sent to the Sumo Logic platform.

In this step, you will configure the yaml file required for RabbitMQ collection.

Below are the inputs required:

- **`endpoint (no default)`**. The hostname and port of the RabbitMQ instance, separated by a colon. (For example: `localhost:15672`.)
- **RabbitMQ logs Path**. Enter the path to the log file for your RabbitMQ instance.
- **username**. Enter the RabbitMQ username.
- **password**. Enter the RabbitMQ password.

The log file path configured to capture RabbitMQ logs must be given here. The files are typically located in `/var/log/rabbitmq/rabbit@<hostname>.log`. If you are using a customized path, check the [`rabbitmq.conf`](https://www.rabbitmq.com/logging.html) file for this information.

The files are typically located in `/var/log/rabbitmq/rabbit@<hostname>.log`. You can add any custom fields which you want to tag along with the data ingested in sumo. Click on the **Download YAML File** button to get the yaml file.

For Linux platform, click **Download Environment Variables File** to get the file with the password which is supposed to be set as environment variable.
