RabbitMQ Prometheus Exporter

[uttam anand]

Hi Guys,

Currently I have a running cluster of RabbitMQ 3.5.4 . I want to monitor RabbitMQ using Prometheus.

But, there is no Prometheus RabbitMQ Exporter for 3.5.4 version of RabbitMQ.

https://github.com/deadtrickster/prometheus_rabbitmq_exporter#versioning

I find upgrading from 3.5.4 to 3.7.4 is only the solution to this. 

If suppose I upgrade RabbitMQ to 3.7.4, how can I run the Prometheus rabbitmq exporter in non container environment?

Just placing the prometheus_rabbitmq_exporter-v3.7.2.1.ez in the rabbitmq/plugin folder and enabling it through /etc/rabbitmq/rabbitmq.config ??

Any thoughts?

Thanks

Uttam Anand

Plugins are enabled using rabbitmq-plugins, a CLI tool [1].

The plugin must be placed into the plugins directory.

Make sure to copy (and enable) all the plugin files for rabbitmq 3.7.x, not just the one you listed below.  On Windows, at least, I had to explicitly enable the dependencies for the metrics endpoint to respond.

Note for Windows users: don't copy or install the process collector plugin.

I am trying to enable the plugin using the enabled_plugin file in the screenshot below. I don't want to use the CLI for enabling it as I do not want it to be a manual process for installation of RabbitMQ.

Any thoughts?

This is the right way to "preconfigure" plugins.

enabled_plugins must contain a list of atoms (plugin names) ending with a dot (required by the runtime).

You have 4 lists of 1 element each.

[ryan suxena]

Then I guess I am doing it a right way.

Thanks Michael for you kind guidance.

[Michael Klishin]

The approach is the right one but file contents should be

[rabbitmq_management,prometheus_rabbitmq_exporter,prometheus_process_collector,prometheus_httpd].

[uttam anand]

Oh ok. Thanks again.

I am facing issue while starting rabbitmq. Attaching the screenshot.

The version of rabbitmq is 3.7.4 and erlang version is Erlang R14B04 (erts-5.8.5)

[Michael Klishin]

RabbitMQ 3.7.x requires at least Erlang 19.3: http://www.rabbitmq.com/which-erlang.html.

The runtime tells you that it has a bytecode operation in one of the modules that it does not support.

Thanks Mike.

I am facing issue with the Prometheus plugin. I have put all the plugins i.e. .ez file in the plugins folder of rabbitmq and also enabled those plugins via enable_plugin files.

I am not sure what other dependencies it is asking for.

Thanks

It's missing a library called "accept" (I'm not sure what it does). You need to have all the dependencies

distributed with the plugin [1] in the plugins directory (but no need to explicitly enable them all since plugins indicate their dependencies).
