[Krishna chaitanya varma]

Hi,

i am unable to use rabbitmqctl command as non root/rabbitmq user.my requirement is to monitor Queues/channels/messages through another user.when i execute the rabbitmqctl from other user i am getting the below error.can any one help me on this.

cd /usr/lib/rabbitmq/bin

 ./rabbitmqctl status

Status of node rabbit@host ...

Error: unable to connect to node rabbit@host: nodedown

DIAGNOSTICS

===========

attempted to contact: [rabbit@host]

rabbit@host:

  * connected to epmd (port 4369) on host

  * epmd reports node 'rabbit' running on port 25672

  * TCP connection succeeded but Erlang distribution failed

  * suggestion: hostname mismatch?

  * suggestion: is the cookie set correctly?

current node details:

- node name: 'rabbitmqctl-3018@host'

- home dir: /home/user

- cookie hash: M61t14yOVr+NCuxbqc2QVg==

First thing to check is that RabbitMQ is actually running. Then if the cookie is the same
for both RabbitMQ's effective user (typically `rabbitmq`) and the one you run `rabbitmqctl`
as), and that it has 400 permissions.
