I have a silly question. Can I pass arguments to the rabbitmqadmin
command? Is below a valid syntax?

rabbitmqadmin declare queue name=xyz durable=true
arguments={ha-policy=all,policy=ha-all}

You can. You want to quote the command line parameter and strings inside of it:
'arguments={"x-message-ttl":86400000}'.

Michael pointed out the correct way to quote in this scenario, but I'll
just add that neither "ha-policy" nor "policy" are meaningful arguments
for a queue: you can specify them by quoting as Michael suggests, but
they won't do anything.

Cheers, Simon

Thanks Simon and Michael. Actually, this would be more meaningful:

rabbitmqadmin declare queue name=xyz durable=true

'arguments={"ha-mode"=all,"ha-sync-mode"=automatic}'

So I execute the command and got the "Could not parse JSON:
{"ha-mode":all,"ha-sync-mode":automatic}

Maybe I need to escape special characters with "\"

{"ha-mode":"all","ha-sync-mode":"automatic"} is.

I have to escape the special characters with "\" and it works.

I have another question around rabbitmqadmin. In order to override
the existing queue attributes, you would first have to execute
"rabbitmqadmin delete queue=name" and then issue "rabbitmqadmin
declare queue..." steps.

Otherwise, you would get a "406 PRECONDITION FAILED.." message.
